School Council & Parent Society Meeting
Our first meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 24 at 6:00 PM and will last for approximately one hour. Please consider attending to share your voice and support our Mount Royal community.
Meet the Teacher (All Students)/Kamp Kiwanis Mandatory Parent Meeting (Grade 9 Students)/ SEA’s interest meeting
On Thursday, September 25, parents/guardians are invited to visit Mount Royal and meet their child’s teachers. Families will follow their child’s schedule (please bring a copy), moving classroom to classroom, where teachers will provide a brief overview of their curriculum.
Following the Meet the Teacher event, we will hold a mandatory information session for parents of Grade 9 students attending the upcoming Kamp Kiwanis overnight trips in October. Please note: a parent/guardian must attend this meeting in order for their child to participate in camp.
A messenger with the information regarding both of these events was sent last week. Please reach out to the school if you have any questions.
