Principal’s Message
Dear Mayland Heights Families,
As we approach the end of another wonderful school year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for making this year at Mayland Heights School truly special. Your unwavering support, dedication, and enthusiasm have made a profound impact on our school community.
As we look forward to the summer break, I hope you all have a chance to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories with loved ones. Whether you're traveling, exploring new hobbies, or simply enjoying some downtime, I wish you a safe and enjoyable summer filled with laughter and joy.
I would invite families to join me in wishing some of our staff members the very best as they move on to their next adventure as we say ‘Au revoir’ to Mr. Côté, Mme Wallace, Mme Smith, Mr. Jon, Mme Diji, Mme Wendy, Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Tutkaluk, Ms. Brandy, Miss Lisa and Miss Ana. We thank our teachers and staff for their positive impact on our school and students and know that they will represent our community well in their new roles.
With change comes new faces and we look forward to welcoming our new teachers and support staff in August. We invite families to join us on Tuesday, September 10th for our Welcome Back to School Pancake breakfast with first serving at 9:15AM sharp.
I am incredibly excited about the upcoming school year and the opportunities it holds for us to learn, grow, and thrive together. Our commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment remains steadfast, and I am eager to continue our journey towards excellence in education.
Please remember to stay connected with us over the summer through our school's communication channels and website for any updates or important information.
Thank you once again for your ongoing support and partnership. I look forward to welcoming you all back for another amazing year at Mayland Heights School.
Wishing you a fantastic summer!
Warm regards,
Mrs. I. Korpela,
Principal
