The orientation includes different stations for families to visit to learn more about route planning, fares, how to ride the bus or C-Train, safety features, rider etiquette and much more.
Sessions run every half-hour and last approx. 1 hour.

Staffing Updates
As the school year ends, we often have to say goodbye to beloved staff while welcoming new staff for the upcoming school year.
Next week we will be saying goodbye to Mr. Bianchini who has had an amazing year with our Grade 5s and Ms. Luu, who has been in the Music role since May. We will also be saying a bittersweet goodbye to Mrs. Tuttle, our beloved prinicipal.
Mrs. Tuttle has been the principal at GW Skene for six years and has made our school an incredible learning community. We will miss her so much, but we are so excited for her next steps as the principal at Battalion Park School.
We will be welcoming Ms. Kristin St. Croix to our teaching staff, as well as Ms. Jadyn Smith who will be teaching our new CSSI program. We will also welcome two new educational assistants, Ms. Jenevieve and Ms. Saima to our CSSI program. We will send out more information soon about our new principal!
