Principal’s Message – September 11
Dear École Herbert Spencer Community,
We end our first week! Start up was smooth and we are thrilled to be back. A big shout out to our maintenance crew that put so much effort into sprucing up the school and ensuring it was ready for return as well as adding our new Sport Courts and a Spiffy New Paint Job. We are still awaiting some final furniture items and those should arrive early next week. We appreciate your patience as we head into our first full week next week.
Please see the following highlights, reminders, calendar updates and information!
