Winter Walk Day | February 4, 2026
Haultain Memorial School is pleased to be taking part in Winter Walk Day again this year. Throughout the week, our Student Leadership Club will be encouraging all students to bundle up, get active, and walk to school whenever they can. Walking, even for just a few minutes, helps build healthy habits, strengthens our connection to the land, and adds a little extra energy to the school day. Thank you for supporting your child in joining us for this fun, active community event.

Reminder | Survey
School Council is exploring the possibility of offering child safety courses at our school for students 10 years of age and up, and we’re looking to gauge interest before moving forward.
We are considering:
- Home Alone Safety Course
- Babysitting Course with First Aid
This short (less than 1 minute) poll will help us determine:
- Whether to run one or both courses
- Best timing
- Potential cost coverage from Parent Council
This poll is for planning purposes only and does not commit you to registering.
If there is enough interest, we will follow up with dates, pricing, and registration details.
