New Norway School

Winter weather is upon us 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 winter 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.

HOPE MISSION is generously donating food to our school to help support students who may need extra nourishment. Their contribution ensures that every student has access to healthy options, helping to foster a positive learning environment and offering vital support to families in need. We are incredibly thankful for their commitment to our school and community. https://hopemission.com/our-values/

Our High School International travelers are raising money to support their trip. Orders are set to be delivered the week of Dec. 16th. The fundraiser runs from Nov. 25 to Dec. 1/24

Please take a few minutes to complete your child's demographic forms on PowerSchool.

It is important that this information be kept up-to-date every year, especially if there is a change in medical status, parent/guardian/emergency contact information, and/or address.

Students who do not have their forms in by the end of Sept. will see a disruption in their computer access.

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.
