General Notices 

Shortened Thursday

Thursday, February 5 is a shortened day and the Grade 8s are visiting that afternoon. As a result, the main entrance/exit will be closed to our Holy Cross students at 12:30 as buses will be dropping off the Grade 8 students at that time. Please plan to use a different exit that day.  Students must also leave the school at 12:30 as the school is closed for the afternoon (unless you are a student leader helping with Grade 8 visits). Thank you for your help and cooperation! We will have staff at the main doors/area to block it off and re-direct traffic.
