We’re off to a great start at WPM! Here are a few important reminders for families:
SchoolsPlus Student Feedback Survey!!
We want to hear from YOU! SchoolsPlus is planning some awesome activities and events, but we want to make sure they’re what students want! This is your chance to help shape the programming — so it’s tailored to your interests, not just a random list of ideas. No experience necessary! We provide the space, supplies and smiles! All students who complete the survey will have the option to enter their name in a prize draw for a gift card!
*** Click Here for the Survey!!
Curriculum Night is Thursday, September 18, at 6:00 pm in the gym. Meet your child’s teachers, connect with SchoolsPlus, and speak with administrators about the new Provincial School Code of Conduct, equitable grading/assessment, and PowerSchool access.
Student Forms (registration, media release, Chromebook agreement, and cell phone policy) were sent home on Thursday, along with WPM water bottles. Please return completed forms ASAP.

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.
