New Recreational Infrastructure and Coastline Protection in Queens County 

The community of Liverpool and surrounding area will soon have a new sports field, Mi'kmaw learning trail and better coastline protection.

"Whether it's recreational facilities or roads, investing in infrastructure in our communities makes the lives of Nova Scotians better," said Public Works Minister Kim Masland. "These investments will ensure the community has access to modern, inclusive, recreational infrastructure and roads that are built to withstand today's climate events."

Minister Masland and Jack Fancy, Deputy Mayor of the Region of Queens Municipality, announced a combined provincial, federal and municipal investment of almost $2.75 million to replace the Liverpool community sports field with a new synthetic turf soccer field and to construct a new 400-metre gravel running track.

The project will also include fencing, lighting and a Mi'kmaw learning trail which will provide a new, inclusive outdoor learning space.

The Province and the federal government are also investing about $1 million to support work to protect two segments of Shore Road in Western Head that are facing shoreline erosion and flooding.

Quotes:

"Canada thrives when its communities are healthy and resilient. Investments like the one made today will not only promote active lifestyles for those who call Liverpool home but will also protect Shore Road against the increasing impacts of climate change, strengthening the community for years to come."

  - Sean Fraser, federal Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities


"Council is pleased, through the Region of Queens' Community Investment Fund, to supply the maximum 25 per cent funding, up to $250,000, towards the Liverpool sports field's cost. This recreational infrastructure illustrates the importance of developing healthy minds and bodies through inclusive venues."

  - Darlene Norman, Mayor, Region of Queens Municipality


Quick Facts:

-- the Province of Nova Scotia is investing about $700,000 in the Liverpool community sports field project and about $500,000 to improve Shore Road

-- the Government of Canada is investing nearly $1.8 million to the sports field project, and almost $500,000 to improve Shore Road

-- the Region of Queens Municipality is contributing $250,000 to the Liverpool community sports field project

-- the current sod field has frequent drainage issues

-- work on Shore Road will include reinforcing an existing retaining wall and excavating existing rock and gravel

STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASS ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6


Parents, Guardians & Students,


Welcome back to another school year!  Classes begin on Wednesday, September 6 at 8:35am.  Homeroom class lists have been posted on the front doors.  Students will get their class schedule from their homeroom teacher.  They will also get a “Registration” form and a “Permission to Publish” form.  We ask that you complete these 2 forms and return them to the school by Friday, September 15 so that we can update all student records.  You may also want to consider purchasing the “Gold Plan” Student Insurance.  All students are covered for the basic plan during school hours however the “Gold Plan” extends coverage to outside of school hours.  For more information go to https://sip.ca/parents-students/student-accident/gold-plan-application/


Whether you are new to LRHS or returning for another year, there are a few things we’d like to share with you.


This year LRHS will be changing to a 4 class per day schedule. Each class will be 75 minutes. (please see the attached schedules for both the Regular Day & the CLT Day).


All schools in Nova Scotia will be following the Provincial Student Attendance and Engagement Policy.  It is very important for students to attend their classes.  Excessive absences can lead to potential Loss of Credit in grades 10 - 12 and in Grade 9 students with poor attendance may be restricted in course selections going into grade 10. (ie. No academic Math 10, mandatory Learning Strategy courses) Please familiarize yourself with this provincial policy. (See attached Attendance Policy)


All schools are now using SchoolCashNet for most fee payments for things like graduation fees, sports fees, and cafeteria lunches (at LRHS we use 5 meal punch cards so students just go to the cafeteria and pick their own menu items).  We ask that you take a moment to sign up for online payments at https://ssrce.schoolcashonline.com/


If you need to contact a teacher or administrator by email please see the attached list of emails.


All of the above information as well as our other school policies can be found in the Student Handbook on the LRHS school website under the STUDENT Menu: https://sites.google.com/gnspes.ca/liverpool-regional-high-school/


We look forward to the 2023-24 school year.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us either by email or by phone at 902-354-7600.

RAISING THE BAR AT LRHS!

We have been advised of a suspected case of head lice in our school. While head lice are a nuisance, they are not a disease and are a common childhood condition. Exclusion from school is not required.

Parent/guardians are asked to watch their child for signs of head lice, which includes an itchy scalp, small white eggs (nits) attached to the hair shaft close to the scalp, commonly found behind the ears and at the nape of neck. If detected, it is important that all household members be checked for the presence of lice and treated if they have it. Anyone with head lice should be treated right away and then retreated in 7 to 10 days.

If you suspect your child may have head lice, please contact a health care provider for treatment if required or 811 for advice. Review the Public Health Pamphlet at: https://www.novascotia.ca/dhw/publications/public-health-education/07135-head-lice-pamphlet-en.pdf  for more information.

Thank you to everyone for making the band/music/outdoor education Fish Fundraiser a success again this fall!

We heard back from our supplier that the fish will arrive at LRHS for 3pm on Thursday.  When you come in the school parking lot please go left around the bus loop behind the school.  We will be set up out front and have two lane's set up so you don't even need to get out of your car.

Reminder you may want a plastic tote to put your fish in as it has been iced for travel and the bags or boxes may be wet.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 902.523.2539

We look forward to seeing you Thursday and thank you for your support!

Some school absences are unavoidable. We understand that. The important thing is that your child attend class as often as possible 

Absences add up quick. Missing just two days a month is the same as missing 15% of the school year. And missing this valuable in-person instructional time has a direct impact on the overall achievement and well-being of our students.

Dear school community,

What’s Required of a Host Family?

Families interested in hosting must provide the student with an approved bedroom, three healthy meals per day, and treat them like a member of their family. All family members 18 and older need to provide a Criminal Record Check and Child Abuse Registry Check.

Financial Compensation

Host families volunteer to host International Students. Families receive $725 per month (per student) to cover incurred expenses while students are living with them, such as meals, providing transportation for activities, etc. This amount is non-taxable.

Yearbooks:


Folks spring is upon us and the LRHS Yearbook is coming together nicely!  Please be sure to purchase your yearbook online at ybpay.ca .  Yearbooks can also be purchased on select days in the lobby at LRHS or by seeing Mr. White.  LRHS is pleased to announce with the generous support of sponsors including the Liverpool Lions Club, Liverpool Kinsmen and Liverpool Kiwanis Club in conjunction with the support of LRHS's School Advisory and Student Councils we are able to offer yearbooks to students for $25 a piece again this year--this is actually below the cost of production.  So a huge thank you to these groups for supporting our students!

Masking at Schools Extended until at least May 20

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development announced today that the mask requirement in Nova Scotia’s public schools and on school buses will remain in place until at least the May long weekend. During this time, we will also continue wearing masks in our SSRCE offices and worksites.

As a reminder, this means students, staff, outside service providers, volunteers, and visitors must continue to wear a mask during school instructional hours and while on school buses.

This decision will be reassessed closer to May 20 and we will keep you updated.

Interested in Hosting an International Student? 

SSRCE needs host families now for September. Your hospitality can make all the difference to a student’s experience and it is our hope that by becoming a host family, it will mark the beginning of a relationship that will last a lifetime!

Hosting isn’t just about giving a student food and shelter. It can be a truly rewarding experience that melds cultural sharing with personal development and great memories, as you learn about your student and integrate them into your daily life.

What’s Required of a Host Family?

Families interested in hosting must provide the student with a private bedroom, three healthy meals per day and treat them like a member of their family. All family members 18 and older need to provide a Criminal Record Check and Child Abuse Registry Checks.

Financial Compensation

Host families volunteer to host International Students, but are compensated monthly for expenses incurred while a student lives with them, such as meals, and gas to pick them up from social activities, etc.

Please email or call to learn more about becoming to become a host family. More info is also available online: https://ssrce.ca/host/
