HPS Nov 6 Weekly Update
High Park School Memo
Week of Nov. 6 -10
School Clothing Orders
Our school has opened up an online store through local company BRANDZ in Stony Plain. Orders must be placed online through the store by Nov. 22. Orders will arrive at the school before Christmas break. We will have another ordering opportunity in the spring.
Remembrance Day
Our school ceremony will be held this week on Thursday, beginning at 11:00 am in our school gym. Poppies are available by donation in the office.
Lifetouch Photos
Retake orders are due Nov. 10. There are more options when ordering online with Lifetouch photos.
High Park Music Monthly
Check out this amazing newsletter from Ms. Boison’s Music department with monthly updates about our music program at High Park! It really is worth a look!
Visitors at School
For safety reasons, High Park School is a closed campus. All visitors and guests must report to the office, and all communications and deliveries to students should also go through our office. If you are bringing something to your child, please ensure you come to the office and we will get the item where it needs to go. Unscheduled classroom visits can be disruptive to learning activities and school routines, so we ask for your cooperation in this matter.
School Fees
All field trip fees for pre-planned field trips have now been posted to Parent Portal. Statements have been emailed out to parents. Please login to your Parent Portal to pay fees online.
Hot Lunch
Hot Lunch is offered to students by the Parent Advisory League from October to May. More information can be found on our High Park school website under the Lunch Program. You must register each school year in order to place an order. The code is always HPHL. The deadline to order hot lunches for December is November 25.
Utensils for Lunches and Snack/Breakfast Program
We will no longer be supplying cutlery to students as it comes at a significant cost and we are also trying to reduce waste. Please ensure your child has a set of utensils in their lunch each day.
Outdoor Footwear
It’s that time of year - please make sure your child has an alternate pair of shoes to change into from outside to keep our floors clean and dry. Appropriate footwear is also required in the gym.
Attendance Matters!
Regular attendance and timely arrival at school has a positive impact on student learning and success. Students who attend school regularly have better academic and social outcomes than students who frequently miss class. We track attendance regularly at the school and may reach out to you to discuss your child’s attendance and offer support as needed. Please know we care and miss your child when they are away from school.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to give me a call at the school office at (780) 963-2222 or email me at adrienne.owen@psd.ca to connect.
