As the 2017 Summer vacation for students across the region winds down this week, Parents, Guardians and the youngsters of the North Coast will be packing a lot of activities into this one final week of togetherness, all with an eye to the excitement of another school year just around the corner.
In the annual summer's end ritual, Calendars on walls everywhere now indicate that the seven day countdown is underway until the doors to the region's schools swing open across the region on Tuesday, September 5th.
For those students returning to their studies for the 2017-18 year, next Tuesday's opening won't make for too long a day, as students, parents and teachers ease into the new school year.
As a guide for students and their parents, SD52 has released the timetable for the first day of school, which looks as follows:
All elementary schools: Prince Rupert/Port Edward
Kindergarten students and their families will be notified of their start times by their individual schools.
