The Honourable Krista Lynn Howell, Minister of Education, is welcoming students in the K-12 education system back to class for the start of the 2023-24 school year.
Enrollment in the K-12 education system is once again increasing this year, and is expected to reach more than 64,000 students throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. These students will either start at – or return to – one of over 250 schools in the province with a team of teachers, administrators, and support staff who are eager to welcome them back.
The Provincial Government continues to implement and improve programs and services to further enhance education in the province. This includes promotion of the Safe and Inclusive Schools Policy to ensure an inclusive and accessible school environment for all students.
Quote
“The first day of school is always an exciting time for students and educators alike. I wish everyone a wonderful first day back after the summer break, and encourage everyone to be safety-minded, particularly on the roads in and around school zones. A sincere thank you to all administrators, teachers and support staff for their time and dedication in preparing for the new school year.”
