Boundary Change Update

With the recent approval of the new boundaries by the school board, we are aware that families who are impacted are wondering what options they have in this transition.

Communication will be coming from the Division soon. As soon as this comes, we will work with Madison to make this transition as smooth as possible for our shared families. Please be on the lookout for targeted communication if you are affected by these changes.
