For contacts, please indicate contact order, and what information the contact may receive from Northwest School Division. Please return completed forms to the school as soon as possible.

Parents are asked to send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the school if you are unable to pick up your child's report card on the morning of June 28.
Report cards will NOT be sent home unless an envelope is provided. All textbooks and library books must be returned to the school library as soon as possible after exams. Grade 5-12 students must clean out their lockers and return their locks to the library before leaving for the summer.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR
Supply lists for Back to School Solutions will be sent home soon with students.
There is no obligation to order your school supplies this way, but it is an option. The school does get a small percentage of all the orders back.
If you are ordering this way, please send your order back to the school with a cheques attached payable to Value Drug Mart and Associates by June 21 if ordering through the school. You can choose to order online and then choose only the items you need. Your child may have some supplies left from previous years so you can order only specific items. Kits are then shipped to the school in August and arrive with labels that have your child's name on them, to put on all the supplies.
Please keep the supply list if you are not ordering this way as it will be the only supply list sent home. The lists will be posted online at the end of June.

LOCAL TRACK MEET –
Our local track meet was a great time with many students setting new records.
In grade 7-12, despite not being able to complete all of their events, there were many records set. Emily Peteres, Emma Holmedal, Devon Whitney, Shana Flicek, Carson Peters, Emma MacDonald, Hannah O'Grady, Isaiah Zajong, Rocco Ostensoe, Ethel Borja, Kyle MacDonald and Braxton Snell all set new records!
At the Elementary track many records were broken as well. Some of the records broken were set more than ten years ago! The following students set new records in one or more event: Brandt Forbes, Aly Hein, Cohen Chibri, Jace Newport, Ashton O'Grady, Aliana Worman and Tyesn Roth.
Thanks to Sarah Hein, who was our parent volunteer for the afternoon.
