Safety Notice | Parking Lot
We would like to remind parents and caregivers that the east parking lot is a very busy place first thing in the morning and at dismissal time. Several staff members are entering and exiting at that time. We understand that the placement of the division one doors makes it a tricky place for drop off and pick up, however safety of students and community members is of utmost importance to us. We respectfully request that you take a few extra moments to walk around the perimeter of the parking lot and have students use the sidewalk (that spans the east side of the school) to get to the doors.
November School Conferences | Teacher Led
Our next round of School Conferences is coming up soon. You can sign up through your MyCBE account. School Conferences provide time for families to discuss their child’s progress and achievement in relation to the intended learning goals. This is also a time for teachers to share evidence of individual student progress and achievement. These conferences are one of the formal reporting opportunities the CBE has structured to ensure families understand their child’s achievement over the course of the reporting period. The next formal reporting opportunity will be through report cards in January.
Reminder | Good Neighbours Coffee and Community Connections Drop-In
We will be hosting our second Good Neighbours Coffee and Community Connections Drop-In on December 1 at 8:25 – 9:15 AM in the gym. This will be a wonderful opportunity to visit with your neighbours and meet some new people in the community. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. We will also have an area set up with gently used children's clothes where people can take what they need and leave what they can. If you have any gently used items you would like to bring to contribute, please ensure they are clean and in good repair. We look forward to seeing many of you again and hopefully some new faces too.
Winter Concert | December 7, 2023
Mark your calendars for Thursday, December 7. We have our Winter Concert planned for 6:30 PM. Doors will open at 6:10. We ask that all students are in their classroom by 6:20 at the latest so they can get themselves prepared for the concert and families can find a seat in the gym. All classes will be performing. Your child’s teacher will communicate more specific information pertaining to each class, through School Messenger.
School Council/Parent Association Meetings | November 20, 2023
Our next HMS School Council Meeting is approaching. Please join us in the Learning Commons on Monday, November 20 at 6:30. If you are a parent/guardian of a Haultain Memorial student, you are welcome and encouraged to join us. Immediately following the School Council Meeting, you can be a part of helping to plan how to raise and allocate funds for items such as a new playground, school enhancement and family events, at the Parent Association Meeting
You can find more information and a link to the meeting (if you choose to join online) on the School Council page of our website. You can keep up to date by following the Parents of Haultain | Facebook page.
