Back to School - Important Fall Dates

Dear RSF families,

We are so excited to welcome you to our amazing school for the 2025-26 school year! Some of you are brand new to our building and some will be returning. We are looking forward to seeing all students!

The following is important information regarding Jr. High start up. For all things ‘Back to School’ including our bell schedule, school supplies, division calendar and more, please browse through the menu items on the website homepage.

Homeroom Assignments - Homeroom placements for Grades 8 and 9 students were made collaboratively by our core teachers, administration, and our school counsellor. Similarly, the Holy Family and Neil M Ross Elementary teams constructed the Grade 7 homeroom class lists. A variety of factors were considered in the process: balancing academic needs, special considerations, student friend requests, and general classroom composition. Homeroom changes are exceedingly rare and will only be adjusted for extenuating circumstances. 

Option Course Selection/Fees - Students submitted their requests for their options courses in the spring. Additional option course information (including approximate fees) can be found using the following links: Grade 7 Option Descriptions and Grade 8 and 9 Option Descriptions. 

All efforts were made to ensure students were given options that they requested. An option change request form for the entire year will be going out during the first week of classes. Changes will need to be authorized by a parent or guardian. 

Get The Scoop Event: We welcome all families to our "Get the Scoop" evening on Thursday, August 28, 2025 at 6 pm. This evening will provide students and parents with the opportunity to meet the staff in order to feel confident and ready to tackle the 1st day of school. Come enjoy a treat and get to know the staff!  Starting at 6:00 pm we will gather in the gym to introduce staff. After this students and their parents are welcome to tour the school, visit with teachers in their classrooms, and then enjoy an ice cream treat!

School start days and times: 

• Grade 7 only - September 2, 2025
