School Announcements
Out in Our Community
Please remind your students to be respectful when out in the community before school, after school and during the lunch break. Our neighbours have let us know that they are frustrated by Nelson students littering and putting garbage on their lawns. Some of our neighbours have heard offensive language used, which can be quite scary. Additionally, we have seen and heard unsafe driving on the city streets. Please know that students who are behaving as described above will have school-based consequences commensurate with their behaviour.

Take Our Kids To Work Day - Wednesday, November 5, 2025
Take Our Kids to Work, a landmark Canadian program dedicated to inspiring the next generation of leaders, returns on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. For its 31st edition, the event continues to evolve, with new opportunities for both in-person and virtual career exploration.
This year’s theme, Lift Up the Future, is a call to support young people as they explore their paths and imagine the world they want to build. By encouraging this journey, we not only help them uncover their potential — we also strengthen our communities and lift up the future for all. Led by the Students Commission of Canada (SCC), and made possible thanks to support from RBC, this national event brings together students, families, educators, and employers to create a meaningful day of discovery, connection, and inspiration.
