I am truly honoured and excited to be joining Hemmingford Elementary as your principal for the 2025–2026 school year. With my appointment comes a change I know the community has been hoping for: Hemmingford Elementary will no longer share a principal with Franklin. Instead, I will be dedicated to Hemmingford, while also carrying some additional responsibilities for NFSB.
From the moment I arrived, I have been warmly welcomed by staff, families, and community members, and I am deeply grateful for the kindness and support already extended to me.
I look forward to building on the good work of my predecessor and the dedicated team already in place. One of the things that makes this school so special is the active role the community plays in supporting our students’ growth and success. It is clear to me that this is a place where people care deeply about one another and about creating the best possible opportunities for children.
In the months ahead, I am eager to get to know each of you—students, families, and community partners. Together, I am confident we can continue to nurture a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every child feels valued and inspired to reach their full potential.
Thank you once again for such a warm welcome. I am excited to begin this journey with all of you and look forward to the year ahead.
Warm regards,
Christopher Blouin
Principal, Hemmingford Elementary
We’re excited to invite you to our Annual General Assembly! Our Governing Board members from last year will be present, and we’ll hold elections for new members. If you’ve been thinking about joining the Governing Board or P.P.O., this is your chance to get involved.
The evening is also a chance to meet our teachers and hear about their curriculum, classroom approaches, and the online tools they use.
For privacy reasons, this evening isn’t meant for individual student discussions. If you’d like to connect about your child’s progress before the first report, please reach out to teachers directly by email.
We can’t wait to see you there and to kick off another fantastic school year together!

Hemmingford Elementary PPO is happy to announce the annual corn roast will take place September 12 – free for all students and staff!
