NL Parents/Guardians: We still have a lot of students who are not registered for the 24-25 school year! Please log in to your parent account on PowerSchool and complete this ASAP so that we have correct contact info, class numbers, etc. Returning students should have 5 forms to complete and new students have 11 forms. If you have a student athlete, the concussion form is included in the online registration in Form R5 and that MUST BE electronically signed before participation.
