Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) staff are looking forward to welcoming students on Wednesday, September 4, the first school day of the 2013-2014 school year. The CSCNO wishes to remind parents that unlike past years, there will be no early dismissal, and that students will depart from school at the regular time.

“We are always excited to see our new and returning students,” said Mrs. Lyse-Anne Papineau, CSCNO Director of Education. “With the support of our staff, parents and partners, we are committed to offering a quality French language catholic education to all of our students.”

This year, the CSCNO expects some 7,000 students in its 37 schools. Whereas about 5,200 students are registered in its 27 elementary schools, more than 1,800 students will pursue their studies in its ten secondary schools. Also worth noting, over 1,100 students will benefit from the CSCNO’s proven expertise at the junior and senior kindergarten levels, which now includes the new Full Time Kindergarten Program offered in many schools.

Located in the heart of a dynamic region with a strong Francophone tradition, the Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario is one of the largest Francophone school boards in Ontario and in French Canada. The area served by the CSCNO includes the communities of Chapleau, Dubreuilville, Espanola, Greater Sudbury, Hornepayne, Michipicoten, North Shore, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury East.
