Important Grad Info for Spring 2020

Posted March 3, 2020

During the spring months, many groups of senior students, as a means to celebrate graduation, organize events on their own accord (e.g. dances, “proms”, camping, beach trips, etc.). Please note that these independent events are not officially recognized or organized by Sir John A Macdonald Secondary School. As private events, school staff does not provide supervision, nor do they have a role in facilitating these autonomous endeavors.

Please know that SJAM’s official and school sanctioned Prom is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2020.  Ticket sales will begin in May.  Stay tuned for more details!
