Dear Vincent Massey Families:

We are looking forward to the first day of school on Tuesday, September 2 and welcoming our returning and new students.  This year, we are will be continuing to come together as a community “Electrify Excellence” as we Include, Imagine and Inspire.  We each have a role to play in creating a connected, and positive community.  This newsletter includes important information to support our partnership to meet this goal.

Please contact your child’s teacher or the office with any questions.

This newsletter contains the following information.  We understand that some families were unable to view the previous newsletter, which was sent on Monday, August 25.  You can find that message posted on our school website, and the information has been repeated in this newsletter also.
