We have an extensive schoolyard that offers a variety of playground activities, supplemented by the facilities of an adjacent city recreation area. The school property is large and used by recreational soccer leagues in the summer. The school is situated adjacent to a park providing outdoor skating during the winter months.

Curriculum Priorities

Priorities on the past few years have included the maintenance and upgrading of a computer lab, literacy, and development of community involvement. Throughout the school year, we will focus on developing a school level computer plan that will look at developing a school web page, and will provide in service to staff members on the effective utilizations of many applications.

The staff and school community support a variety of extracurricular activities.
