I am very pleased to announce that the new principal for next year will be Mrs. Shelley Linton. Mme Linton is currently the principal at Laity View Elementary, another large dual track English and French Immersion school in our district. She is a very experienced principal who speaks French and is very familiar with a school like ours as Laity View is similar in size and composition. I have invited her to come for a couple of visits before the end of the year to meet everyone, and I know we will all make her feel very welcome. In addition, we are very fortunate that Mrs. MacKinnon will be staying on as Vice Principal. I feel very confident that PME will be in very capable hands with Mme Linton and Mrs. MacKinnon as our administrative team for next year.
It is a very busy time of year, with many activities and field trips going on, so I encourage you to check this newsletter and the portal, along with any communication from your child’s teacher on a regular basis.
Please remind your child(ren) as well, that even though there are many fun activities planned in the coming weeks, that it is important that they continue to stay focused and do their very best at school right through the month of June.
As ever, our door is open for your comments, concerns and questions.
Yours sincerely,
Stephanie Dand
Principal
