We acknowledge that Battle River School Division is located on Treaty 6 territory, and we respect the histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Metis, Inuit and all First Peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our vibrant community.

We equate thankfulness to the month of October. We have had one month of school and there are so many things to be grateful for thus far.

• The ability to be connected with each other. We are social beings and we have a basic need to be connected with each other.
• The positive working relationship we have with our parents. Learning is a team effort by everyone - student, teacher and parent.
• The return of many activities back in school; in person learning, sporting events, leadership activities, student teacher and parents in the building.
• Community donation from Busy Bee to Tofield School $500.00
• Five international students attending Tofield school this year
• Active and engaged school council

We want to remind parents/guardians to ensure that we have the correct contact information for you and your emergency contact persons.

North Star Outreach Off and Running for the 2022-2023 School Year

The new school year has started and Northstar Outreach School (NSO) is humming along nicely. NSO staff are able to accommodate a wide variety of high school students. Many are here all day, while others we share with Tofield School (our Blended students) To date we have 24 students enrolled in multiple courses. We are currently running over 20 different courses and have already had 12 course completions (4 single credit courses and 7 CORE (Math, Social Science and English) ) - not bad for one month in!

We also offer a great breakfast program which is available all day, pre-made sandwiches for lunches and students can also earn credits with our Foods Program.

NSO would not be able to provide this for our students without the tremendous support from BRSD, Tofield School administration and staff, and the community! In particular, we would like to thank Busy Bee for their generous monetary donation and for providing NSO with any kitchen wares that we might need. Next,the wonderful Ms. Dawn Arnold and the ladies at the Food Bank who always greet us with a smile and provide as much of our food items as they can. Of course, we can’t forget to mention Ms. Kay Procter, who, with supplies from the food bank, generously donates her time to make us tasty sandwiches every week!

Without this continued and generous support, we would not be able to fulfill the needs of our students and provide them with the opportunity to thrive. It truly does take a village.

Thank you!

Mr MacDonald and Mrs Metro
