Principal's Message

Good afternoon families and Happy April! ¡Buenas tardes familias y feliz abril!

We hope that you were able to have a restful and enjoyable Spring Break. We are excited to welcome all of our students back to A.E. Cross tomorrow morning. The final few months of the school year will be extremely busy and, will no doubt, appear to fly by! Beginning this week, our Colts' badminton student athletes take to the court for the first time and our grade 7 and grade 8 students will learn more about selecting courses for next year! 

Below is the latest edition of the Colts' Community Chronicle filled with lots of information about what's going on here at A.E. Cross School. Please take note that if you are interested in ordering a 2023-2024 yearbook, the deadline for doing so is May 31, 2024. We don't want you to miss out on this particular keepsake! 

Colts' Community Chronicle - April 1 to April 5
