HPS Apr 29 Weekly Update
High Park School Memo
Week of Apr. 29 - May 3
Nutrition Program
Throughout this year, we have been fortunate to be able to supply students with breakfast every morning and food for those who need it. However, we are noticing a significant increase in the amount of snacks that are being taken throughout the day, and we would like to ask parents to remind students to only take what they truly need, to take only one item at a time, and to eat all lunch items before asking for a snack, as we want to ensure we have enough to serve all students who need. Thanks for your cooperation!
Sun Run 2024
We are so proud of our Sun Runners who represented us in Vancouver!
Educational Assistant Appreciation Day - May 3rd
May 3rd is a day to say thank you to our educational assistants who work so hard to support learning in our classrooms for all students. Please join me in appreciating all they do for our school!

Attention Volunteers! THANK YOU FOR HELPING US BLOOM!
With our heartfelt thanks, we invite you to a special celebration in honour of the tremendous amount of support and time given to our school.
Please join us in the High Park gym from 1:30-2:30pm on May 15th for some drinks and treats. Please RSVP by May 1st by sending an email to highpark@psd.ca. We hope to see you there!
Government Engagement Opportunity: Cell Phones in Schools
You are invited to participate in an online survey about the future of cellphone use in elementary, junior high, and senior high schools. You can access the survey at Survey Link. The survey will be open until May 3, 2024.
Input from this targeted engagement will help inform potential future government direction.
Morning and After School Supervision
A reminder that our morning supervision starts and school doors open at 8:15 am. Please arrange for your child to arrive no earlier than this time, as we do not provide supervision. Breakfast runs from 8:15-8:35 each morning. Supervision after school ends at 3:15 - students should not be on the premises after this time unless they are participating in an after-school activity.
Lost and Found
Are you missing anything? Please check out our lost and found. We have set items out on a table near the front office to help display, but we gather more items each day! Any items not claimed are donated at the end of each month.
Hot Lunch
Hot Lunch is offered to students by the Parent Advisory League from October to June. 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 June is May 25.
