Grade 7 Day is a day for the incoming grade 8 students to come to the school and positively get connected.
It is an opportunity to begin to explore the school community and meet some of the adults and senior students who will look to make the high school experience positive and rich. Options around year-long electives will be highlighted. Links to these programs are here:https://secondary.sd42.ca/gss/grade-7-info

We recommend that your student dress comfortably as there will be variety of activities that students will participate in.
Please ensure that your pick up time meets the above timeline. Additionally, note the GSS Parking lot is a challenge. We suggest a plan and walk strategy, meeting your child approximately 5 minute walk away.
Please be sure to check out other areas of the school website – linking to programs, Grade 7 transitions, clubs and teams, etc.
