Dr. John C. Wickwire Academy

Please note: The supply lists for Grade 1 and 2 are the exact same, as are the lists for Grade 3 and 4.  There are not separate lists for these grade levels.   For example, if you have a child in Grade 1, you are using the Grade 1 and 2 supply list for the items that you need to purchase.

We appreciate your patience with getting these lists and the changes we are making this year as a result of the uncertainty of COVID-19.

It is essential, and mandated by the Province of NS,  that all schools be able to provide a safe and secure learning environment for students and staff. Experience has shown that schools face a variety of threats including violence, child abduction, bullying, drugs, vandalism and theft.

Cold environments can not only be hazardous to your health, but also life-threatening. It is critical that the body be able to preserve a core body temperature steady at 37oC. A cold environment challenges us in 3 ways: by air temperature, air movement (wind speed), and humidity (wetness). In order to be safe, these challenges need to be carefully considered and counterbalanced with proper insulation (clothing), body heat conducted by physical activity, and amount of exposure.

PLEASE NOTE:  If your child’s plans for end of day bussing or pick-up need to be changed, for any reason, calls must be made to the school office before 2:00 pm. This request is to ensure the office staff plenty of time to relay the message to your child. ( Please keep in mind your child’s last classes of the day may be with a specialist teacher and, therefore, out of phone contact for the office.)
