Wondering Which Way to Go?
Ask Your Parent Navigator! Guiding Families to Supports
and Services
AVRCE’s Parent Navigator,
Tammy Ring, helps guide
families to supports and
services. She works with
schools, SchoolsPlus, and
community agencies to make
sure families know how to
access services in education,
justice, health, community
services and more.
The Parent Navigator position is
new to Nova Scotia’s education
system. Our Parent Navigator
can help if you:
- Are looking for support
and knowledge from
someone who knows
what resources are out
there, and how to
access them;
- Are wondering who can
answer questions about
your child’s academic,
emotional and/or social
well-being;
- Want help connecting
to services and systems
to get your child the
right help and support.
If you’re wondering which way to go, ask your Parent Navigator! Contact Tammy Ring by calling 902-844-2816, emailing [email protected], or by speaking with your school administrator.
Since 1997, the Nova Scotia International Student Program has welcomed students from around the world into homes across Nova Scotia. Working in partnership with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, students are given the opportunity to improve their English language skills while learning first-hand about life in Canada. Eligible students come from all over the world and are carefully matched with Nova Scotian host families with the help of our dedicated homestay coordinators. Students range in age from 8-18 years old and stay anywhere from one month to one year. Participating in the Program can be a life changing experience for both students and their host families. We are currently looking for Host Families for second semester, please contact us if you are interested. You can check out the NSISP website https://nsisp.ca/become-host-family. If you have any questions we will point you in the right direction. Get involved today!
