Principals Message
I am pleased to announce that Ms. Chavez will be our Vice-Principal, beginning in September. This is a new role in our school, and it supports the CISVA desire to have teachers take on a formal leadership role in our schools, with the hope that they will one day consider becoming a Principal. Ms. Chavez will be busy as she continues to work her Master’s degree, maintains her classroom teaching duties and takes on some administrative roles within the school. I thank her for her willingness and commitment.
We are heading into the last week to support the RCAV Men’s Hostel. We are having a friendly competition to see which “buddy groups” can bring in the most items. We are collecting – toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, socks, gloves, toques, and shampoo. Items may be dropped off in the boxes in the front foyer of the school.
