New Norway School
January
Welcome to Miss Jenna Miller!
Hi everyone! My name is Jenna Miller, and I will be the new administrative assistant here at NNS! I graduated from University of Alberta's Augustana Campus with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. I'm super passionate about environmental sustainability, and I have a love for the outdoors and ecology, in particular. I currently have 31 plants and counting, and collectively, there's 46 plants in my household. I'm always happy to chat about (almost) anything and everything, and I love learning new things. I'm very excited to get to know everyone at the school and in the community!
It's getting colder- Please dress for the weather
Colder weather is here and as such I would like to remind everyone that it is important for students to dress appropriately for the conditions. Please ensure that your child comes to school with their coats, toques, gloves/mittens and winter footwear when needed for the weather conditions.
The protocol for bus transportation during inclement weather will remain the same as last year. On days of inclement weather, bus drivers will make a decision about whether or not it is safe to operate their bus on their route for that day. In the event that one or more buses does not operate, this information will be passed along to the Battle River School Division transportation department and an automated phone fan-out will be initiated for affected routes. In addition information will be updated on the Battle River School Division website with respect to bus operation.

I’d like to acknowledge that we are on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and travelling route to the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene and Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.
