Dear Parents/Guardians,
Rodney E. Moorehead Principal
The end of the first marking is Wednesday, October 13, 2021. It will be essential to complete the upcoming two and a half weeks with diligence and focus. Before the first marking period ends, I strongly recommend that all parents log into PowerSchool to ensure all homework, assignments, tests, and projects are submitted to their classroom teacher. Virtual learning presents a little more of a challenge, but we will continue to succeed with your continued help and support. It is truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to provide an education for your child at Barra-Nation.
