▪️The new elementary school in Stittsville has now had its attendance boundary set. Fernbank Elementary School will open in 2023, and students who would normally attend St. Martin de Porres, Holy Spirit, and Guardian Angels elementary schools in 2023, and live in the new boundary, will now go to Fernbank. Students will get to choose whether they go to Sacred Heart or Holy Trinity for grades seven to twelve. [Stittsville Central] [The New Boundary]
