We will be hosting a Grade 8 Parents' Night on Tuesday January 16 at 5:30 pm at Quinte Mohawk School. We'll have dinner for everyone and a presentation about the high school experience at Eastside Secondary.

Parents and students will be introduced to a community that celebrates the rich tapestry of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences that make each of us unique. They will have a chance to learn about the variety of programs and pathways that we offer. You will learn about the required and optional courses that grade nine students will choose.
