School Supplies

At the beginning of a new school year, we ask families to contribute $35.00 per child for school supplies. School fees can be paid online using SchoolCash Online, cash, or cheque. This will cover all supplies needed for the school year.  Families are also encouraged to provide:

• Backpack (labeled with child's name)

• 1 pair of sneakers for outside (labeled with child's name)

• 1 pair of sneakers for inside (these will also be used for phys.ed class; labeled with child's name)

• 1 lunch box (labeled with child's name - please also label any lunch containers)

• 1 water bottle (labeled with child's name)

• Complete extra change of clothes (in a labeled bag) - this will remain at school on your child's hook

Nova Scotia School Lunch Program

The Nova Scotia School Lunch Program is a provincial lunch program that offers public school students across Nova Scotia nutritious lunch every school day. Ordering will open on Friday mornings and close on Wednesday at noon. Families can order affordable lunches through an online pay-what-you-can system that lets them confidentially pay what they are able.
