Near North District School Board

New JK-12 Parry Sound school

By

All of the information that has been collected from stakeholder groups, including teaching and operational staff, students and First Nations representatives, remains relevant as Near North District School Board (NNDSB) moves ahead in its work to build a new JK-12 school in Parry Sound.

It was announced in February 2021 that the Ventin Group (+VG Architects) was awarded the contract to design a school that seamlessly transitions area children from daycare through to secondary school in a building that is modern and reflects the needs of 21st century education.

The school will include a childcare centre and an EarlyON Child and Family Centre.

There is a program sub-committee and a building sub-committee, both of which will make regular progress reports to the Parry Sound JK-12 Build Committee. That committee will make regular reports to the Board, which will be available in the agenda packages and in the links to the right. Topics of high interest will be issued as media releases, which are available in the links to the right.

Welcome to Kindergarten

By

Kindergarten is an investment in our future. The Near North District School Board is pleased to offer a two year Kindergarten program.Establishing a strong foundation in the early years will give Ontario's four- and five-year-olds a stronger start with their learning. It will help improve their reading, writing and math skills, provide a smoother transition to Grade 1 and help increase their success in school and beyond.

Movement of Students For September 2018

By

Near North District School Board would like to thank our staff and parents most sincerely for allowing us the time to work in a focused and authentic way with all students and families anticipated to move to West Ferris for the south school French program as outlined in our original plan for our North Bay high school consolidation.

The Board finalized data collection, as of last Friday, indicates that it will be best for our current grade 9, 10, and 11 students enrolled at Chippewa to stay at Chippewa to finish their careers in grades 10, 11 and 12.  

Current grade 6, 7, and 8 Extended French and French Immersion students zoned for West Ferris will move to West Ferris as planned for grades 7, 8 and 9.

We believe this is in our students' best interest with respect to efficient delivery of programs between both schools.  We also feel this decision honours our students’ voice through the evidence gathered in their course selections through Career Cruising.

Once again the Board is thankful to staff, parents and students for allowing us this time to work with the data so we could be sure of where it was best to offer strong courses as we continue to grow the south school program.
