After much deliberation, we have unfortunately decided to cancel the school ski day to Summit Lake Ski Hill on Friday, January 30th. With the lack of snow on the ground and in the forecast, we felt that was why our numbers were not what they should be for this day and that led to the difficult decision to cancel. Friday, January 30th will be a regular school day for our students.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have paid for this ski day - we have kept track and would like to offer you the option to put that towards our next school ski day on Thursday, February 19th to Whitewater Ski Resort in Nelson.
At this time, we do not have an exact amount for that trip but anything paid so far will be put towards that day. If you would like a full refund, please contact Andrea Coates at andrea.coates@sd10.bc.ca.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to the next one!

Respect Matters
Nakusp Secondary School opened in 1957 and is one of six schools in School District 10, Arrow Lakes. It has a current school population of 149 students and 25 staff members. Students come into Grade 8 from the elementary schools in Nakusp, Burton & Edgewood.
NSS is very much at the heart of Nakusp’s community with generations in the village having passed through the hallways of the school. This means that the community is very generous in the time it gives to the school whether through coaching school teams, mentoring students in work placements, volunteering time in class, sharing expertise or attending monthly PAC meetings.
