The Honourable Krista Lynn Howell, Minister of Education, is congratulating students, educators and staff on the final day of classes of the 2022-23 school year and wishing everyone a safe and relaxing summer.

This year, Newfoundland and Labrador public schools welcomed newcomers with increased English as a Second Language teachers and student assistants, and the addition of multicultural resources to school Library Learning Commons’. The Provincial Government continued its support of inclusive education with responsive teaching and professional learning. Educators in schools saw the reintroduction of provincial reading and mathematics assessments, increased French opportunities with bursaries for students, and an expansion of the Program Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) for high school students with autism.

The integration of the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District into the Provincial Government is proceeding. The primary goal of integration is to give students the best experience possible in K-12. The school district will be integrated by December 31, 2023.

The 2023-24 school year will begin on Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
