Whether you're are excited for the first day of school or not, classes begin this Monday, August 28th throughout the province.

 

Principal of Walter Aseltine Elementary School, Laurie Slocombe, reminds students to show up no earlier than 8:40 am on Monday morning, to leave out snacks containing nuts, and to be aware of the traffic.

 

With children running in and out of the school, motorists are reminded to slow down and be aware of school zones.

 

Slocombe adds that Monday is a full regular school day. There will be an assembly at 11:00 am to introduce new students and staff and to go over rules and regulations.

 

Slocombe hopes for an excellent first day and wishes all staff, students and parents, the very best for the 2010-2011 school year.
