Driver education registrations open up on September 2 and will be open until the last session starts. 

To register, Go to your school webpage, Student tab, Driver Education tab.  Be sure to read the NESD Driver Education Handbook and review the session options.   Students will need their NESD email when registering, any other emails used will not be accepted.  Students are required to check their emails regularly for updates with driver education.

The school office is not responsible for driver education but may assist when re-arranging drives.  Students are responsible for communicating with their driver instructor, knowing when classes are, when they are driving, to be ready for drives, and any changes to driver ed schedules.

Bjorkdale's Scholastic Book Fair will be held on October 20th-24th.  This year's book fair is an important one.  We need to reach our goal of $2300.00 to ensure we are able to host future book fairs.  Our community members are welcome and encouraged to come into the school during the book fair and have a look around and purchase any books they may be interested in.  Please help me spread the word and let community and family members know about this year’s book fair.  

Thank you to everyone who took the time to come to the school and check out our Scholastic Book Fair!  We were able to sell $2013.25 in Scholastic products!  This means our school gets $283.87 in Scholastic dollars to be spent on more books for our library!  

The Bjorkdale School Clothing store is OPEN!  This year there are a couple of new options- a youth and adult sport shirt (golf shirt) and Grad hoodies with the options of Grad 2026-2027-2028.  If you are purchasing a grad hoodie, please put your child's name on the sleeve (if you choose this option) as "GRAD 20--" will be on the back.  There are sizers at the school if you are unsure what size you may need.  Last day to order is December 12th 2025 until midnight.  Please see the attached link to visit the store!

We need your help!  We had plans to bake desserts for Thursday's winter feast, but there is currently no water in the school, and they are not sure when they will get it up and running.  This means we can't do the baking here, as was our initial plan.  As a result, we are looking for donations of baked goods for Thursday's supper.  Baking can be dropped off at the school or brought to the hall the night of the feast.  We truly appreciate your help!

On Nov. 27^th, 2024, the Ministry of Education announced the development of a new Saskatchewan Student Assessment (SSA) program. More detailed information about the program is attached to this communication.

In the spring of 2026, NESD students in Grade 5 Math, Grade 9 Math, and Gr. 7 ELA will participate in a census field test.  A census field test is a province-wide trial run of the assessment procedures and questions.  No assessment results from the census field test will be provided to students, families, or school divisions as the purpose is to test the test only.

Additional information and updates about the SSA program and the field test will be provided as it becomes available.
