We are asking students and staff to either donate food items for the banquet or to pay $15 to defray the cost of the meal (one food item per person or $15 per person). If you would prefer to bring your own bag lunch to the dinner due to allergies, etc. that’s fine. Please bring your own water bottle if you wish to have something to drink. Payment can be made through the online payment portal or by cash or cheque at the TMSS office (cheques made out to NESD #200).

Please fill in the google form using the link for each student in your household. If your student is absent (please confirm in Edsby), paying or needing a chair you will indicate that all on the Google Form. If you are donating food, indicate that on the google form and then simply select items in the Sign-Up Genius form by using the link.

We also need parent volunteers to help with the meal doing such jobs as: making salads, cooking perogies, plating desserts, slicing turkeys, washing dishes, etc. You can volunteer for any amount of time between 8am and 3pm. You can select that you are able to volunteer on the google form or on the Sign Up Genius and then Mrs. Lee will contact you about your availability or you can email her.

All leftovers from the dinner are packaged and distributed with the Salvation Army Hampers.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Kristin Lee (lee.kristin@nesd.ca or 873-2352).

NOTICE of AMENDMENT

to the

North East School Division Board

Policy 114 - School Viability Review

At the June 18, 2024, Regular Board Meeting the North East School Division Board approved the amendments made to Board Policy 114 – School Viability Review.

The Board Policy was substantively updated to reflect current legislation.  In addition, an appendix was created to clearly articulate timelines. The revised policy was publicly posted on June 20, 2024.

Dated at Melfort, SK this 14^th day of August 2024.

NESD Students have their first day back to school on Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

Have a great 2024- 2025 School Year!!

Dear NESD Families:

Welcome to the start of the 2024-25 school year.   As many families know or may have heard, Transportation Services of the North East School Division has faced some challenging times that have led to temporary cancellations of many bus routes.  We understand how critical reliable transportation is to your daily routines, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Current route cancellations are due to several factors: a shortage of mechanics, receiving replacement parts, a lack of casual bus drivers, and delays in the delivery of new buses, initially expected in May 2024 but now postponed to October. Additionally, seven buses from 2020 or newer are out of service due to warranty work. The school division is actively working with the bus vendor to ensure these buses return to operation as soon as possible.

We are working diligently to get our buses back on the road, utilizing third-party assistance for bus maintenance ensuring our busses meet all safety standards before being put into service. To address staffing shortages, we are increasing our recruitment efforts.  In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges.

The safety and well-being of our students remain our top priority, and we are committed to improving our services despite these challenges. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Transportation Services at 306-873-4555 or transportation@nesd.ca.

Again, if you are one of the families without bus service at the start of the 2024-25 school year, we sincerely apologize.   We thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through these challenges and appreciate any efforts you take to share our job advertisements found on our NESD website.  https://www.nesd.ca/Careers/AvailablePositions/

Sincerely,

Stacy Lair

Yesterday a bus driver and 27 of our Tisdale Middle and Secondary students were involved in a school bus accident that occurred shortly after school near Kinistin. Some were airlifted for medical attention, and we were informed that some have serious injuries.  For further details, please see the RCMP statement released later today.

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all the emergency responders and health practitioners for their quick response and care to all those involved. On behalf of all of us at NESD we are sending our healing thoughts and wishes for a quick recovery to those involved.
