If parents need to contact their child for an emergency, they may call the office and we will contact the teacher. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">It is our hope that with technology free instructional time, students will be able to retain more information and be more successful.</p><p>If you have any questions, please contact me at the school. </p><p>Sincerely, </p><p> </p><p>Liselle Prickett</p><p>Principal, Nantyr Shores Secondary School</p><h1 style="text-align:left;"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-3" style="color:#009999;"><span style="color:#009999;">705-431-5950</span></span><br></h1> | | | |
