This year’s Mi’kmaw History Month theme, Nepisulti’k — We Are Healing, reminds us that healing is a lifelong journey rooted in understanding ourselves, our history, our relationships, and our connections to one another. Inspired by the teachings of the late Elder Murdena Marshall, the theme encourages us to recognize that healing takes courage and is a unique, ongoing journey for every individual.
This October, we honour Mi’kmaw history, culture, teachings, and the wisdom passed down through generations.
AAA Girls Basketball - Team list has been posted. First practice is Wednesday, Oct 28th at 7 pm.
AAA Boys Basketball - Final tryout is Tuesday, Oct 27th 7-8:30, for invited students only. The list has been posted on the gymnasium door.
Students on school sports teams are expected to attend regularly, be punctual, behave responsibly, and respect others. Representing our school is a privilege, and ongoing concerns related to attendance or behaviour may affect a student’s eligibility to try out, practise, or compete. We will always consider legitimate and excused absences, and we will make decisions in consultation with teachers and school administration.
All sport fees have now been posted in school cash and must be paid by the due date posted.

CBVRCE’s Transportation Department has switched to using only Bus Planner Web and the Bus Planner Delays App to share information about individual bus cancellations and/or delays. This change was made to limit the number of messages families receive.
Please see below for details about how to access Bus Planner Web and the Bus Planner Delays App.
Bus Planner Web
The BusPlanner Web platform allows families to access their child(ren)’s bus information online, including route number, pickup/drop-off times and locations.
Families who sign up for this service will receive email and push notifications that are specific to their child(ren)’s bus route(s).
To register, visit: cbvrce.mybusplanner.ca, click on Parent Portal and create an account.
Bus Planner Delays App
The Bus Planner Delays app sends families push notifications that are specific to their child(ren)’s bus route(s).
It is free to download and allows users to select which route(s) they would like to receive notifications for. Download links: (Apple App Store) (Google Play Store)
CLICK HERE to watch an instructional video on using Bus Planner Delays. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our Transportation Department by emailing transportation@cbvrce.ca or phoning 902-562-4595.

If you have concern about your child at school, we want to work with you to resolve it. We encourage you to start by communicating with your child’s teacher—open communication can often help resolve concerns at this level. If you feel more action is needed, please contact the principal. If the concern still requires attention, staff at our Regional Centre for Education - CB-VRCE can help. http://cbvrce.ca/home/
Information Sharing Agreement with Department of Health and Wellness
Annually, students across Nova Scotia are offered services delivered by Public Health including the Grade 7 School Immunization Program, Pre-school Screening, Enhanced Vision Screening Program and the Fluoride Mouthrinse Program. Public Health works with the education system to distribute information about these programs and to obtain consent for student participation.
Occasionally, Public Health practitioners may need to contact parents/guardians of students where consent information is incomplete or unclear, or when a consent form has not been returned. Public Health will not contact you if you have signed a consent form indicating you do not wish to have your child participate in one of these programs. The school board will share limited information such as names of parents/guardians and students, with Public Health for the purposes of operating these public health services for students.
Please contact your local public health office if you have any questions about these public health programs. Please contact your principal or Centre for Education information access and privacy manager, if you have any questions about how your information is shared.
