Dear NBS Families,
We hope you all had a wonderful and restful Spring Break filled with time to relax and recharge. We were excited to welcome our students back to school this week and look forward to the final months of the school year together.
As we return, we are ready to jump back into learning, reconnect with friends, and continue building on the great progress made so far this year. With the arrival of spring-like weather, we also encourage families to send students prepared for changing conditions, including layers and appropriate outdoor footwear.
This is a friendly reminder that there will be no school this Friday. We look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, when classes will resume as usual.
We would also like to remind our Kindergarten to Grade 4 families to please return the blue “Intent to Return” forms as soon as possible. These forms help us with planning and organization for the upcoming school year, and we appreciate your timely support.
If you have any questions or require another copy of the form, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
Thank you for your continued support.
Our 2025-2026 Yearbook deadline is coming up soon
Do not wait! We only have limited copies available for purchase, and we don’t want anyone to miss out on the opportunity to enjoy memories from this year.
