Every day, cybercriminals rely on one thing: people reacting before they have time to think.

Phishing emails and text messages often create urgency by claiming there's a problem with your account, a missed delivery, or an unexpected prize.

Before clicking a link or sharing personal information, take a moment to pause. Check who sent the message, look closely at the URL, and ask yourself whether it feels legitimate. A few extra seconds can prevent a costly mistake.

Happy World Teachers' Day to our incredible team at St. Alexander! 💛 We are beyond grateful for all that you do.

Today, on World Teachers’ Day, we proudly recognize and celebrate our dedicated NPSC teachers who inspire, support, and guide students every day across our Catholic schools.

Through their commitment to Catholic education, our teachers nurture students as learners, people of faith, and compassionate members of their communities. By fostering curiosity, meaningful relationships, and Gospel-centred values, they help students discover their God-given gifts and empower them to reach their potential.

To our teachers: thank you, merci and miigwech for the care, expertise, and energy you bring to our classrooms and school communities each and every day. The difference you make in the lives of our students extends far beyond our system, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do.

💛

Today, we recognize and thank our dedicated NPSC custodial staff, who help make our Catholic schools welcoming places of learning, faith, and belonging.

Their work is an essential part of school life. Through their care, attention to detail, and commitment to service, they help create environments where our Catholic school communities can gather, learn, and grow together. Whether preparing spaces for the day ahead or responding to the needs of a busy school community, they bring professionalism, pride, and a strong sense of responsibility to their work each day.

Thank you for the important role you play in supporting Catholic education and caring for the spaces that mean so much to our students, staff, and families.💛

🧡 Together, we honour the Survivors of the Indian Residential School system, remember the children who never returned home, and acknowledge the lasting intergenerational impacts these institutions continue to have on Indigenous families and communities.

This week, on September 30, the Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board (NPSC) observes Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

At NPSC, we firmly uphold the message Every Child Matters and recognize the importance of reflecting deeply on this painful piece of Canada’s history. Today and every day, we honour the Survivors of the Indian Residential School system, remember the children who never returned home, and acknowledge the lasting intergenerational impacts these institutions continue to have on Indigenous families and communities.

As a Catholic education community, we recognize our responsibility to continue learning the truth about the legacy of residential schools. We are committed to providing year-round, age-appropriate learning that honours the inherent dignity of every person and prioritizes truth when teaching about the harms and injustices of the residential school system.

Throughout the week, students and staff across NPSC will participate in a variety of school-based and community activities that support learning, reflection, healing, and remembrance. These opportunities include reading and discussing Indigenous-authored books and resources, engaging in classroom projects and reflective conversations, and making personal commitments to respect and reconciliation. Together, these experiences help deepen our understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, perspectives, and the legacy of residential schools, while encouraging us to reflect on how we can contribute to a more just and compassionate future.

We encourage members of our NPSC community to continue their learning and reflection by exploring Indigenous-led and national resources on our website: https://www.npsc.ca/news/what_s_new/orange_shirt_day_and_ndtr_2026

As we observe Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we hold all those affected by the residential school system in our thoughts and prayers. May we continue to walk together with humility, courage, and hope as we seek truth, healing, and reconciliation.
