Students will be allowed to take library books home over the Christmas break as long as they do not have any overdue books.

Additionally, overdue books that are not returned by December 20th will be considered lost and a replacement fee will be charged to the student's account. Please contact Mrs. Forsyth with any questions.

As we have officially entered the winter season, we would like to remind you of the Hanover Cold Weather Guidelines and School Closure Policies. They can be downloaded below for your reference or accessed via the Hanover School Division website

Here are the items collected in our Lost and Found over the last month. Take a moment to look over the video, if items belong to your family you can send your child to claim them or stop by the front of the school and look through the Lost and Found yourself. Items with labels will be returned to owners. These items will be cleared out of the Lost and Found early next week.

Kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 school year opens January 2025. To be eligible, children must be five years of age on or before December 31, 2024.

Registration will be online at www.hsd.ca. Anyone who does not have access to the Internet should visit the school office.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to register their children in January. This assists us in planning and preparation. Registering before March 1, 2025 will ensure there is sufficient time for school appointments and provide opportunity to participate in orientation activities.

• If your child will be absent from school you can excuse them through the Parent Portal instead of calling the school office. Parent Portal can be accessed at any time for your convenience.
• If a student arrives late to school, please have them come in through the front doors to check-in at the office before they go to their classroom
  
• All non bus students will be dismissed at 3:35 each day. Please make sure to have a "meeting spot" arranged for your child to meet you if they are being picked up
• If there are End of day changes the parent/guardian needs to notify the office and classroom teacher by 3:00 p.m. the same day. If a friend or relative will be regularly picking up your student, please have them added to the parent/guardian approved pick up list at the office

The HSD Parent Portal is a communication tool designed to enhance and increase parent/guardian involvement in the education of their children by providing secure online access to their child's student information. With a single username and password, you can access data for each of your children attending an HSD school. The Access IDs along with setup instructions have been sent via email to all eligible parents/guardians of new students. If you are new to NES and did not receive the specified email, please contact the school office at 204-388-4861.

Please take a few minutes to review the student information and contact information for your child. It is important that the school has current address and contact information for your child in case it is necessary to reach someone during the school day. Changes can be made through the parent portal.
