Dear NBS Families,
As we head into the final day before Spring Break, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for taking the time to attend Parent-Teacher Conferences. These conversations are such an important part of supporting student success, and we truly appreciate your partnership and engagement.
We are also wrapping up our Alien Inline skating residency this week. It has been wonderful to see students building their skills, confidence, and resilience while having so much fun. Thank you for helping to ensure students were prepared each day.
We hope you all enjoy a restful and well-deserved Spring Break. Whether you are travelling or staying close to home, we wish you a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable time with your families.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back, refreshed and ready for the next stretch of learning.
Staffing Update
We are pleased to share that our school has received additional funding from Alberta Education to support Classroom Complexities. As a result, we hired a full-time teacher who will join our staff beginning after Spring Break and remain with us through to the end of the school year.
This additional support will allow us to better meet the diverse needs of our students and provide enhanced support across classrooms.
We look forward to welcoming Mrs. Brenna Serpico to our school community.
