Parking

Please be mindful of our ‘no parking’ zones along the front of the school property on Stephen Leacock Drive. We have been placing cones out front in our areas that are of concern – leading up to the crosswalks at the top of the path and across from the gym.

Nut Free - Severe Allergies

Please note that we are a nut free environment. Please do not send any items containing peanuts, tree nuts or coconut to school. This would include items such as Nutella, Honey Nut Cheerios, baked items with almond or coconut flour, granola bars containing coconut, etc. We appreciate your support with this as we have students with severe allergies.

No Uni Days

"No Uni for a Toonie" for the year!

Show your School Spirit
In an effort to streamline and reduce cash* being handled at schools we have set up our “No Uni for a Toonie” days with the option to be paid online in schoolcash. This also makes it easier for parents.

We have established a set number of these days (10 “no uni” days) which means that you would pay 10 x 2 = $20 per child one time only and be good for the year!

Ready for Middle School! Why Inclusion Matters

Jayde and Skyla are twins in grade 5 who started school at McMillan in Kindergarten. The girls have a designation, due to cerebral palsy, and are confined to wheelchairs. They were nonverbal when they started school, and their learning and growth over the past six years has been remarkable to watch. Even more inspiring, though, has been watching them grow in their relationships with their peers.  I sat down with Jayde, Skyla and several of their friends to talk about their learning journeys as they get ready to move on to middle school.
