Division Professional Learning Day - March 20th Reminder: Friday, March 20, is a Division Professional Learning Day, and there will be no school for students.

March 12 - Due to driving conditions in the area this morning, our bus drivers will be adjusting their driving. As a result our buses may be delayed or cancelled. Please check our transportation link on the website for specific bus route information. Parents always have the choice whether to have their child ride the bus with changing driving conditions.

At Grasslands, we care deeply about every child’s learning journey. Over time, the odd absences can add up, especially in the early years, and we want families to have the information they need to support success.
