Students in Grade 9 need to complete their “Grade 10 Course Information Sheets” and drop them off at the office on or before Friday, March 7th.  These forms will go to the counselors at NPSS/ELC and will assist with determining which students go to which campus for Grade 10.

As most of you are aware, schools regularly practice fire drills.  We do this so that students know what to do and how to behave in the event that there is an urgent need to evacuate the building.

There will be a meeting for parents/guardians of students in Grade 7 who have questions or would like more information about the FSA tests.
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014 – 7:00 pm – DKMS Library

Foundation Skills Assessments or FSAs are tests that are required for all students in grades 4 and 7.  There are very few students who are exempt.  The school will contact you if your child is a candidate for an exemption.  All other students are expected to write the tests as this is a ministry requirement.  These tests will take place between January 13th and February 21st.
