Good afternoon Abbeydale School Families, 

A message went out earlier on Friday announcing that I have taken on a new position as the System Principal of Early Learning, which will begin in the fall. I have enjoyed my time immensely at Abbeydale. This is a great school, with amazing staff and students. Thank you for all the support you have offered to me and a huge thanks to the staff at Abbeydale. I’ve worked in a variety settings and can attest that they are phenomenal and make this a great place to be. I’ll be working with my Director to support the new Principal in transitioning in when they are announced. A survey will come out next week where you are able to give you feedback and input as part of the process.  

Please see more updates below.

No School May 17 or May 20

Just a reminder that there is NO school on Friday, May 17 (Non-Instructional) or Monday, May 20 (Victoria Day). Spend some time connecting with each other and connecting with nature! 

Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year Coming Soon 

Watch for more information about registration for transportation for the next school year. Families must register by the deadline for students to be added to routes for the start of the school this fall. 

Kindergarten Orientation 

We’re holding our Kindergarten Orientation a little differently this year. We've invited registered students to come see our kinder spaces and share some pertinent information about how you can best support your child with a smooth transition to starting their kindergarten year. If you haven't registered. 

Cell Phones and Other Home Items 

We are currently in the midst of creating a School Cell Phone Policy, which will be communicated in the coming months. We want to remind parents that personal items, such as cell phones should not be out at school. Cell phones are a distraction to learning and can often times become lost, damaged or stolen. Other personal belongings, such as trading cards and other toys should remain at home. 

New Bell Times (2024-25 School Year) 

We will have a slight shift in bell times next year. Please see below: 

  • Monday - Thursday (8:00 AM - 2:40 PM *remains the same) 
  • Friday (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM *will be different from 2023-24)
