We will meet online using Google Meet on Tuesdays until April (spring break interrupts a bit of this). This is for students in grades 1-9.

Donation Request (Lightning Cables)

We are looking for any donations of old working lightning cables families may have lying around for our iPads. We have a number of cords that have been damaged from overuse and are hoping to replace some of them as our Grade 2’s embark on their 12 week coding course through Robogarden. Please send any working lightning cables with your child to the main office.
