Get ready for a week of spine-tingling fun! Hallo-Week is creeping up and we have a full lineup of frightfully fun activities planned all week long.

From spooky spirit days and lunch-time games to our annual costume contest, there are tons of ways to show your Halloween spirit and win some treat-filled prizes. Check the daily schedule posted around school, gather your friends and join in on the hauntingly good times. Catch the Spirit and join in!

Join us for a fun new activity in the Learning Commons! Make our Commons an inviting and cozy space! Bring your own plant clippings to add to our growing collection, tend to them at the Learning Commons and bring them home once they are grown.

Pick your order up from Mrs. Kranenborg at the Learning Commons!

See below to opt into our school text messaging service!

To opt in for text messages:

Please phone in attendance or use the attendance email: ndhsattendance@rdcrs.ca

Parents/guardians have 48 hours to retroactively correct attendance. Students can not phone themselves in to excuse absences. This must be done by parents/guardians.

Students are marked Unexcused Absent (U) if they arrive 30 minutes or more into a class period. If they arrive within 30 minutes of the bell, students will be marked Tardy (T). Teachers do make note of the time the student arrives to the class. It is the responsibility of the student to connect with their teacher if they are late to class in order to have their attendance adjusted. It is only the teacher who can confirm whether the student was in attendance. If you believe that your student was incorrectly marked as absent unexcused, please have them speak to their teacher.

"I plead with you- never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire and never become discouraged. Be not afraid." - St. John Paul II
