With last week's news of the extension to the stay at home order, the provincial government also said that schools need to continue with remote learning. There's no timeline yet for when we can return to in-person learning. Please read this update for more info and resources: http://ow.ly/iogC50EOLTO.

We have Character Always posters hanging in our hallway. During remote learning our staff has been showing caring every day by learning new programs, being exciting for students and doing all that it takes to keep kids learning! Please keep the caring going by sending staff thank you or posting your good news stories. Thank you NEPS team- Ms. Doxey.
