Online Resources for Home

Dear Parents & Guardians,

First of all, we want to thank you for your support during these unprecedented times.
This has been a difficult time for all and we can appreciate the challenge of having active, eager to learn, children at home. We miss our students dearly and yearn for the days when we are all together again. As difficult as this is for all of us we know it is for the best and wish you and your families the best of health and happiness.

We are working with Alberta Education and other school jurisdictions in the province to determine what continuity of programming for students will look like and what the possible methods of delivery may be. It may take some time to determine how this will work for Northern Lights students.

We want to ensure that we are able to provide students with opportunities that are valuable for them and that we will be able to provide on a consistent basis, while also dealing with the potential impact of COVID-19 on our operations, including staff who need to self-isolate or may become ill.

Once we have a plan developed, we will share details with all of our parents and students.

In the meantime, we are sending you a list of free online resources to assist you at home in the meantime.
