May is here and it feels like Summer!

Planning for the 2023/2024 school year is ongoing. I will share out information as it is confirmed. Please watch our website.

Our Grade 10 Orientation for current Grade's will take place at the beginning of June. All High School students will be picking their courses at the start of June for the 23/24 school year.

New Norway School’s Farewell has been scheduled to take place on Friday, June 9. Congratulations to the Class of 2023.

Big thank you to all those who supported the Spring Book Fair! We earned $785.97 in rewards. I am looking forward to the Fall Fair in November.

To help prepare for the end of the school year the last day for the students to take out books will be June 9th to be returned June 16th. After the 16th I will prepare notices for any lost or damaged books.

Many thanks to the students and families for making my first year as the Learning Commons Facilitator a great experience.

Last day of School for students( report cards sent home)

We are doing a fundraiser for the Breakfast Program, selling "snack bags" that will be delivered on Tuesdays. Deadline to order for a Tuesday delivery is the Sunday before, at midnight, via the online fees and ordering system, dates as follows:

• Tuesday, May 9 - Deadline May 7

• Tuesday, May 16 – Deadline May 14

• Tuesday, May 23 – Deadline May 21

• Tuesday, May 30 – Deadline May 28

• Tuesday, June 6 – Deadline June 4

• Tuesday, June 13 – Deadline June 11

Snack bag consists of Juice box, Granola Bar or crackers, Fruit and a treat. We will still be offering breakfast to students who don't order a snack bag, and all students can have breakfast any day. Thanks for your support of the fundraiser, so that we can continue to offer this well-used program. Please note that we also accept online donations to the Breakfast Program, and donations of snacks and lunch items to the "snack box". Our kiddos are more active now, with the warmer weather, so please check with them if they have a big enough snack to get them through the day.

Congratulations to those of you who completed courses in the third quarter, and to those of you who wrote diplomas!

We are now on the home stretch with only 6 weeks until the next round of diplomas begins and 8 weeks of classes remaining. Remember, if you are writing a diploma in June you should be approximately 80% of the way completed by the end of May. It is important that in any course you are in, you are 60% of the way through at this point in time, so that you can complete your course(s) and review for any final exams you might have. Leaving things until the last minute won't achieve the desired results you are hoping for.

Feel free to contact your teachers if you have any questions or concerns - you can reach them via email, phone or google meet! Also, don't forget to check your email daily.
