How can I access information about my child's academic progress?
Our teachers have a variety of ways of communicating academic progress to families.
We have three reporting periods a year where you will receive a progress report from the term.
Teachers also use Google Classroom to post assignments, announcements, review material etc. As a parent or guardian, you can sign up for summary updates for Google Classroom by contacting one of your child's teachers. Once you are attached to your child, you will be for all classes and for future grades.
For our Grade 7-9 students, marks are updated on PowerSchool regularly so families can check academic progress throughout the school year. In order to access your child's log in information, please contact the school (e-mail melissareardon@nlesd.ca) to get access.

During lunch, students have the opportunity to be served a nutritious and affordable lunch by the School Lunch Association. The School Lunch Association operates a non-stigmatizing program that provides hot, nutritious lunches to children, regardless of their families ability to pay.
This has not started yet, but should be up and running in October. For the School Lunch Association, ordering and payment is done online at https://orders.schoollunch.ca/SchoolLunchAssociation/. In order to avail of the program, registration is necessary each year and can be done at https://orders.schoollunch.ca/SchoolLunchAssociation/#register
During the lunch break, Grades 7-9 students may leave the school property while Grade Six students must remain in school unless picked up by a parent or guardian. There is a lot to do in our school during lunch - students have access to the gym, Library Learning Commons, cafeteria and more!
