Families,

The 2022-23 school year is officially over! Take a look back at some of the highlights.

As you head into summer, here are a few things to remember:

• Student Registration
  Are you moving this summer? Looking to sign up for Pre-Primary? Know someone who is new to our school system? We are accepting registrations for Pre-Primary through Grade 12 online. You can find more information on our registration page. If you need assistance with registration, our Parent Navigators are available to help. 
   
• Summer Support for Families
  Our SchoolsPlus Team is available throughout the summer months to support students and families. Click here for contact information by school. Support is free and confidential.

• Student Transportation
  If your child is eligible for busing, you will be able to view their 2023-24 schedule in BusPlanner’s Parent Portal at the end of July. An email notification to bus eligible families will be sent as a reminder. If you need support or have any questions, please call 902-431-4723 or email transportation@hrce.ca.
   
• PowerSchool
  As we update our systems for the coming year, PowerSchool will be offline as of July 4. It will reopen to students and parents/guardians on September 1, 2023.
   
• School Calendar
  The first day of school for students will be Thursday, September 7, 2023. For students attending West Bedford School and West Bedford High only, the first day is Friday, September 8, 2023. Here’s the 2023-24 calendar, with its new downloadable feature.
   
• Connect with us!
  If you have any questions or concerns over the summer, please get in touch. You can reach us Monday through Friday at 902-464-2000 or at connect@hrce.ca.

To families with graduating students: Congratulations! We wish you all the best on the next part of your journey.

To all returning families, see you in September!

All the Best,

Steve Gallagher
Regional Executive Director
