We are making great progress with our construction project, and are about to begin exterior / landscape work. As a result, the MAIN ENTRANCE will be CLOSED as of 10 am on Friday, May 3, for approximately four weeks. A follow up email will be sent when the work shifts to the EXIT. 

School buses will be routed through the lower parking lot, as they were in the fall. Buses will drop off and pick up students on the East Side of the school at the end of the day as usual. 

Parents/guardians are asked to continue to use the lower parking lot for drop off / pick up.

Please DO NOT access the campus via the EXIT during school hours (7:30 am - 3:30 pm) as this poses a danger to our students and impedes the flow of both construction and bus traffic.  

As a school team, we are very appreciative of everyone's patience and understanding as we complete these improvements to our school learning spaces and campus.

We are already planning for Commencement, which is scheduled for Thursday, June 27th!
All grade 12 students participating in Commencement need to order their Cap & Gown through our online form.
Payment is through SchoolCash Online or by Cheque made out to Merivale HS by APRIL 23, 2019 please! 
For any questions, students should see Ms. Rowe-Jones or Mrs. Fox during the school day. 

Merivale's Grade 8 Tech Day and our SHSM students' Design Jam workshop at Algonquin College were both featured on the local Rogers TV program High School Happenings (HSH)! Check out the segments to learn more about how our students are integrating hands on and reach ahead learning experiences. Exploring what's happening in high schools across Ottawa, HSH is part of an OCDSB SHSM program hosted at Colonel By S.S. See video links here:
