Some Bus Schedules have been Impacted

Due to the accident this morning that damaged Anderson Bridge, the bridge will be closed for the foreseeable future. This bridge closure means that ASD-N transportation will have to make some adjustments to runs made by Bus 204 (Karen Jardine) and Bus 208 (Ben Curtis).

1. Bus 204 (Karen Jardine) – We will be splitting this run into two separate runs with two different buses to accommodate all of our students and ensure that they arrive to school at a reasonable time.

   Bus 204 – Will be responsible for pickups from Blackville to the last stop on Warwick Road (Route 415).   This will include the stop at the corner of the Quarryville Road and Stewart’s Point Road.  These students will be picked up approximately 15 minutes later than usual.

   New Extra Bus – Will be responsible for stops along Route 108. These students will be picked up approximately 30 minutes earlier than usual.  

2. Bus 208 (Beth Curtis) – Start time will be 6:45 a.m. on Parker Road.  

   Students at stops on Route 420 will be picked up in reverse order starting at the corner of Route 420 and Westwood at approximately 7:05 a.m.  

   We expect the bus to be on time for students who are picked up on Tardy Avenue and at the corner of Durrick and Locke.

Please note that drop offs after school will happen in the reverse of the morning pick up procedure.

We thank you for your patience and understanding while we adapt to the Anderson Bridge closure.

Elder-in-Residence Jeannie Bartibogue reminds us of the continued challenges faced by Indigenous peoples and the need for #ReconciliACTION not just this week, but as part of our daily lives. We are all treaty people, and it is time for us all to reflect on what that means.

Parkwood Heights Elementary School has been awarded funding through MusiCounts, Canada’s national music education charity. They are one of only two Anglophone Schools in NB to be successfully awarded a MusiCounts grant to support their school music program

MusiCounts invested a historic $1.1 million into music programs in 85 schools across Canada for this round of funding. Musicounts awards go towards the purchase of instruments, equipment, and gear through its school music funding programs 

Music teacher Jody Lavigne, who worked on the application, said “Applying for MusiCounts funding presents a valuable opportunity to grow our program and provide our students with the instruments, tools, and opportunities they need to succeed.”

“I was extremely surprised, grateful and excited to have been selected,” she added. “This will have such a positive influence on our students for years to come.”

“By receiving this funding, we will be able to significantly expand our music department and reach a wider range of students. I am always looking at different ways I can enrich and expand our program to benefit all students.”

“With additional instruments, we can provide more hands-on learning opportunities that not only keep students engaged but also deepen their interest and appreciation for music. Access to a greater variety of instruments will allow our students to explore different sounds and styles, fostering creativity and a stronger connection to music education.”

The school will showcase its growing program with a spring production of High School Musical Jr. “Our goal is to raise enough funds through ticket sales to continue expanding our music program, including new equipment and resources that will benefit all our young musicians. Your support for the arts will make a difference.”
