Back to School Back Pack Program

The first day of classes for most schools in the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District will be tomorrow Wednesday, September 6, 2023.

School-age children in kindergarten to grade 12 of single parent families are provided with grade appropriate school supplies and book-bags.

These kits are distributed in time for the start of the new school year in September.

We were in contact with all the Nunatsiavut Department of Health and Social Development offices on the north coast to find out more information about the back-to-school backpack program.

We spoke to all DHSD in the 5 communities of Nain, Hopedale, Postville, Makkovik and Rigolet.

All departments mentioned that they are still in the waiting process to receive their annual back to school backpack programs.

OKâlaKatiget Radio will have an update once it becomes available.

We hope that this is a good year for all students in Labrador as it will be the first day of school tomorrow.
