Dear Families,
Please use the Covid19 Daily check before sending your child to school each day. Students who are unwell (runny nose, cough, stuffed up) need to stay home from school, even if they have had a negative COVID test.  We are all working together every day to keep our school community healthy and safe.  Thank you for helping us all stay well.

Mi’kmaq History Month - PDF copies of the poster we have up in the school are available at Posters – Mi'kmaq History Month .  This  year’s poster offers informationthe Treaties and the Treaty relationship. The 2021 poster acts as a reminder that the Treaties between Nova Scotia and the Mi’kmaq are about peace and friendship. Whereas we are all Treaty People, it is important that we commit to that relationship and to working and walking together, side-by-side, along the path of Reconciliation.

Head Lice - We have had several reports of lice in the school.  Head lice are tiny insects and parasites that live on the human body and are most often attached to clean hair. Their eggs, also called nits, stick to the hair shaft, very close to the scalp. Head lice are spread most easily through direct head-to-head contact or through personal items used on the head or in the hair (e.g., hats, combs, brushes, ponytail holders).

Nova Scotia Public Health recommends two head lice treatments to completely break the head lice cycle. The second treatment should be used 7 to 10 days after the first or as directed by the product.  It is a good practice to routinely check your child’s head for lice.
