STELLY’S DAILY BUZZ

Friday, June 19th, 2026

This will be our last Daily Buzz for the 2025-26 school year. We want to wish everyone a happy, healthy and fun-filled summer! 

Congratulations to our 2026 Grads! (Your diplomas will be available for pickup in September). 

Thank you to our students, staff and community for a wonderful year - 

we look forward to seeing you again in September!

GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS 

Attention Stingers - All library and text books are now overdue. Please return any that you find asap!

With our 2 days of Copernican blocks, the buses are running on their regular schedule - there will be no early or late dropoffs & pickups on our Copernican days.  

It is that time of year where we ask you all to clean out your lockers and remove your locks (for grades 9-11, please bring them back in September). Make sure all of your personal items are taken home as the lockers will be cleaned over the summer break. Also, please check the lost and found for anything that might be yours (hoody, lunch kit, containers, water bottles, you name it, it’s in there). Items left behind will be donated on June 26th!

Stingers, have you picked up your yearbook? Are you in grade 12 and wondering if you bought one (September was a long time ago). If you are in grades 9 to 11 and wondering whether you bought one, please check in at the main office and we will let you know.
