MacLaren welcomes grandparents and other special adults in the lives of our students to be active in our school as GrandPartners.

We honor our GrandPartners with invitations to connect with their grandchildren and our MacLaren community throughout the year, hold special events and VIP opportunities just for them, and publish the GrandPartners Gazette to keep grandparents informed. Contact the Communications Team if you have questions.

GrandPartners Gazette is a newsletter mailed directly to our GrandPartners, specially designed to share our culture and celebrations with them.
