Dear CN Gunn Families, 

As we enter the last days of school, I am reaching out to families with some final thoughts and reminders for this school year. Please read through to the end for some important information, including Lost and Found, Early Dismissal on Thursday, Back to School Information, and Calendar updates for the coming school year.

It has been an exciting year with many changes. The addition of Cornerstone families has seen an increase in our student population of 70 additional students, and we continue to grow. We look forward to a new year with a plan in place for our growth. We also had a large staff change last year due to changing demographics, retirements, and teachers moving to other areas of the city. We have welcomed many new staff to our school community and helped students manage the transitions to new teachers.

This coming year will see continued growth in student population and we will be adding some new staff while very few are moving on. If you have not heard yet, Ms. Jordan Code-Maitland has accepted a Learning Leader position at Hidden Valley School- an important next step in her career.  Two temporary teachers who have joined us at the end of the school year, have also accepted positions: Ms. Kristin Horne will also be going to Hidden Valley School and Ms. Fatima-Oliva Martinez will be moving to Glen Meadows School for Spanish Bilingual programming.

We are excited to share as well the addition of two new staff: Ms. Aly Evans and Ms. Claire Laing-Chan who will be joining us as Learning Leaders in the fall of 2024-2025. In addition to these wonderful additions, the following teachers will be moving to different grade levels in the fall: Ms. Lara Fagbemiro will be moving to Grade 1-2, Ms. Khosla will be moving to Grade 3-4, and Ms. Kanji will be moving to Kindergarten.

As always, we appreciate your wonderful support as a school community and the trust you give us every day to care for the education of your children. We wish you a wonderful summer!
