Special Thanks to Kimberlea Gillingham
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to community member Kimberlea Gillingham for her generous donation of Tupperware to West Hants Middle School. Over the next few days, each student will receive new lunchware, thanks to her kindness. We are incredibly grateful for her support!- Student supplies for the 2024-2025 school year are going to be purchased by the school. The $50 school fees will cover those costs. If your child wants a backpack, headphones, zipper binder, lunch bag, water bottle, gym clothes, etc., they are not covered in the fees and can be purchased by parents/guardians.
- The school day starts at 8:55 AM with doors opening at 8:35 AM.

Chromebook Guidelines

School Advisory Council (SAC)
"SACs are advisory bodies to individual school principals, regional centres for education (RCEs), and the Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (CSAP) on a range of issues related to their local schools and the overall school system."
"SAC membership can vary, but generally consists of the school principal, parents/guardians, teachers, other school staff, students, and community members. SAC membership should reflect the diversity of the school community. "
