Hello everyone,
We have some more information for you as you prepare to return to school on September 1st. Please read the fliers and watch the videos with your children.. One is from the HSE and the rest are from the Department of Education. They are age appropriate and will help you and your child get ready to return to Newtown NS. We are still busy getting the main building and the classroom in Newtown United ready for all our pupils and staff. A big thank you to everyone who is making this possible. Enjoy the videos and the reading. We are looking forward to seeing you all very soon.

We are busy getting ready here in school. All the necessary requirements, cleaning and jobs are being carried out now that we can get back into our school.
