Thank-you to everyone who was able to attend the Nov. 23rd information meeting.  There were a lot of great questions that I tried my best to answer and a positive buzz in the air for the school to open. 

If you missed our meeting, here are some of the topics we discussed:

• daycare (TBA in Feb. 2017)
• preschool (no preschools in any of the 4 new schools)
• transportation​ (no busing outside of Evergreen)
• facility (21st century learning, flexible spaces, large gym and 2 smaller community spaces, outdoor learning spaces, open concept) and is on time and on schedule!
• we are projected to start with 400-450 students and have room to grow to 750 students
• French Immersion options are very unlikely at this time
• Kindergarten teacher hired soon and Open House on Jan. 24th at 7:00 p.m. in Dr. JG Egnatoff's library
• Welcome Ms. Betty Stephan, the admin assistant who will start on Jan. 4th
• Miranda Low will start on Feb. 1st and will be in an office across from the Egnatoff preschool
• culture of the school: we get to create this together
• playground: we will have to fundraise for our new playground (approx: $350,000)
• registration is now open.  We hope to have the majority of our students registered by March 1, 2017
