**Another opportunity for NSD parents to participate in their child’s education** Parents and guardians have another way to participate in the education system at Northland School Division (NSD). Until the end of April, NSD schools will be working with parents to fill out the Alberta Education Assurance Survey. Alberta Education Assurance Survey, parent and guardian participation rate is of high importance to NSD, said Robin Guild, Board Chair. We want to have as many pare...nts and guardians as possible complete the survey. We need parental involvement so we can learn what is working in schools and what needs improvement. The Alberta Education Assurance Survey uses a set of 16 indicators. Data on these indicators consists of surveys of students, parents, guardians, and teachers on various aspects of education quality, student outcomes such as dropout and high school completion rates, and provincial assessments of student learning. All surveys are anonymous and ask questions about experiences with your school. In addition to English and French, the parent survey is available in Cree and Dene. The responses collected in the survey are provided to and reviewed by all school staff, the board of trustees, and the Alberta Government. The feedback we receive from parents and guardians in the survey will help to shape school and divisional planning which directly impacts the educational experience for each child, said Dr. Nancy Spencer-Poitras, Superintendent of Schools. All of us working together will positively impact the success of NSD students. Thanks so much for participating in this important survey! The surveys are being delivered to all NSD schools. Parents and guardians who have in-school learning or at-home learning students in grades 4, 7, and 10 will be asked to fill out the survey (unless the school has fewer than 120 students in grades 4-12 in which case the survey will be expanded to include all parents and guardians). Schools are implementing strategies to help parents and guardians fill out this important survey. Please contact your local school if you have any questions https://www.nsd61.ca//another-opportunity-for-nsd-parents-.

Mar 15 - Route 402 (Laura Davidson) is cancelled for the MORNING only. Please make arrangements to drop off and pick up your children. Classes will still be in session. If your child will be absent due to the bus cancellation or for any other reason, please notify the school to make arrangements for alternate programming. Due to a shortage of bus drivers and spares, compounded by COVID-19 self isolation requirements, we are having issues finding drivers for some routes. If... you know of anyone interested in completing the training necessary to become a bus driver, please contact our transportation department.
