Dear Parents and Guardians:
We are all looking forward to seeing our students return on Wednesday, September 9th, 2015 at 8:50 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
Students will be attending their homeroom to receive copies of their schedules and locker assignment, attend a brief assembly, and then run through a rotation of their blocks. Thursday, September 10th will be a regular school day, with classes starting at 8:50 a.m. and finishing at 3:30 p.m. Please note the change in our bell schedule attached.
Your son’s/daughter’s timetable for the 2015-2016 school year will be mailed out over the next week. It will also be given to them first thing Wednesday morning in their homeroom. Teachers will also be letting students know what specific school supplies will be needed during the first week of classes.
Many factors go into scheduling students, including the choices students made on their course selection sheets, teacher availability and province wide mandated requirements. We are excited to be able to maintain our academic course offerings, offer several new courses, and maintain many elective options at our school.

We hope we have answered most questions you may have, but if not please feel free to call the school between 9:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. If you wish to discuss your son’s/daughter’s timetable, please contact the school at 250-956-3394 to make an appointment.
We are looking forward to another vibrant year of learning at North Island Secondary School.
Yours truly,
Mr. J. Dixon
Principal, NISS
