It's that time of year again.

As summer comes to a close, families across the province are getting ready mentally and physically, for the back-to-school season.

Stephen Jaddock, Superintendent of the Mountain View School Division is ready and excited to get year rolling.

"Absolutely, just around the corner. we're forward to another great school year. We are happy that we're past the COVID restrictions, and it's school back to normal."

Jaddock also recognizes that inflation has hit everyone pretty hard through this summer.

He's a firm believer that a good education shouldn't require a cost to entry and notes there are measures in place for parents who might struggle to afford the school supplies their child needs.

"It'll be a matter of calling individual schools and seeing what they have available. and certainly, we have supplies available for those who can't afford to purchase."

If you need financial assistance is getting school supplies, call your child's school as soon as you can.

School officially begins for students of the Mountain View School Division on September 7th.
