From Administration

Grade 9 to Centennial High School Transition

Thank you to our Grade 9 parents and caregivers for attending the recent Parent Information Night at MidSun School and for taking the time to complete the transition planning survey for Centennial High School. Your engagement and feedback are greatly appreciated and play an important role in supporting students as they prepare for this next step.

As a reminder, families are encouraged to attend the Centennial High School Open House, which provides an opportunity to learn more about programs, expectations, and supports available to incoming students.

On February 6, the MidSun School team will be sending Grade 9 families additional information, including teacher recommendations and option selection forms.

We look forward to continuing to work together to ensure a smooth and positive transition for all Grade 9 students.

On Thursday, January 29 at 7:00–9:00 pm - Centennial High School Open House from 7:00–9:00 pm at Centennial  High School. See information below.
