We have attached a copy of the calendar at the end of this text, and you can view it on the ASD-N website at School Calendar – 2025-2026 | ASD-N.

February is Black History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the history, contributions, and lived experiences of Black communities in New Brunswick and across Canada.

Learning about Black history helps create inclusive learning environments where students feel a sense of belonging and respect. These learning opportunities encourage empathy, critical thinking, and an understanding of diverse perspectives, while supporting meaningful conversations about identity, equity, and social responsibility.

Throughout the month, schools are encouraged to engage students in age-appropriate learning that highlights Black voices, leadership, and resilience, both past and present. This work helps ensure that learning spaces reflect the diversity of our communities and the experiences of all learners.

As a district, we are committed to creating welcoming, respectful, and supportive schools where every student feels seen and valued. Black History Month provides an important opportunity to reinforce that commitment through learning, reflection, and celebration.

February 2nd to 6th marks National School Counseling Week, a time to recognize and celebrate the essential role school counselors play in supporting students across Anglophone North School District.

This year’s theme, Hope in Every Hallway, reflects the daily presence and impact of school counselors in creating safe, welcoming, and supportive school environments. From academic planning to social emotional support and crisis intervention, school counselors work behind the scenes to ensure students feel supported and able to succeed.

“National School Counseling Week, February 2nd to 6th, is the perfect time to show your appreciation, but a heartfelt thank-you is always in welcome. School counselors are the ‘unrecognized heroes’ of the education system, balancing social-emotional support, academic planning, and crisis intervention. School Counselors play a vital role in supporting our students and ensuring our students feel safe and welcomed in school. Thank you to all of our School Counselors in ASD-N for their hard work and dedication to the profession.”

Shelley Ward, ESS Coordinator, ASD-N

Throughout ASD-N schools, counselors provide critical support to students by fostering a sense of belonging, guiding academic decision making, and responding during times of need. Their work helps ensure that every hallway is a place where students feel cared for and supported.

ASD-N thanks all school counselors for their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to students, families, and school communities.
