School Council
Eastside Secondary School has an active School Council that consists of parents, staff, students, and community members. Meetings are held regularly. The team works together as an advisory group to support excellent programming and to foster ongoing school improvement.
If you are interested, please join us at 5:30 on November 13th in the library.
Attendance Matters!
Students are expected to attend school regularly and to be in all classes when they are at school. The most important factor that impacts a student’s grades and success in school is their attendance. EVERY SCHOOL DAY COUNTS!
If students will be away from school, please call to notify the main office (613 962 8668). Please do not call to excuse a student from class to go to the library or other location in the school. Students who are at school, must be in class. If a student has parent permission to be out of class, they must be picked up.
Please take a moment to review our attendance expectations with your youth.
