2025 Tax Receipts: Tax Receipts for the 2025 year are available at the school office. If you would like your tax receipt sent home with your child, please contact the school office via email, Seesaw, or phone.
Sick Children: If your child is unwell, please keep them home until their symptoms have improved!
School Council: The seventh School Council meeting is on Thursday, March 12 at 7:00 pm at the school. The meeting begins with an open invitation to all, before we move to the in-camera portion of the meeting. The mandate of School Council is to oversee the operation of Veritas School, including finances and staffing.
Absentee Notes: Please contact the school explaining your child's absences with a Seesaw message to Office Staff and your child's teacher. Absentee reports are crucial to our school's funding, as numerous unexplained absences throughout the school year can mean less government funding for your child.
