The Provincial Government is observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, 2024. This includes the closure of all NLSchools offices and schools. This observance is being held to honour survivors and raise awareness of the tragic legacy of residential schools in Canada.

NLSchools employees and families are asked to note that this day has been inserted into the School Calendar – 2024-2025 and will not impact the school calendar (days of cycle) for the remainder of the year.

Leading up to September 30, schools will continue to promote awareness and to honour children who survived residential schools, and to remember those who did not.
