Families,
As the 2024-25 school year comes to a close, we have several important details to share with you.
Student Registration
Are you moving this summer? Looking to sign up for Pre-Primary or Primary? Know someone who is new to our school system? We are accepting registrations for Pre-Primary through Grade 12 online. If you need assistance with registration, our Family Navigators are available to help.
Summer Support for Families
Our SchoolsPlus Team is available throughout the summer months to support students and families. Parents, guardians, and students (12+) can self-refer by calling 902-464-2041 or emailing schoolsplus@hrce.ca. Support is free and confidential.
Student Transportation
If your child is eligible for busing, you will be able to view their 2025-26 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 over the summer, please call 902-431-4723 or email transportation@hrce.ca. Please have your child’s name, grade, school name and student ID number ready.
PowerSchool
As we update our systems for the coming year, PowerSchool will be offline as of July 2. It will reopen to students and parents/guardians before the first day of school.
School Calendar
The first day of school for students will be Thursday, September 4, 2025. To see the 2025-26 school calendar, click here.
