HPS May 6 Weekly Update
High Park School Memo
Week of May 6 - 10
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!
School Fees
Please check your Parent Portal to see if you have unpaid school fees. These fees are now past due. Students who have enrolled in CTF courses may be removed from their course this coming week if the attached fee is still unpaid. Having student fee accounts in good standing is a prerequisite for participation in many extracurricular trips and activities. Failure to pay school fees may result in non-participation in these activities.
PATs and Junior High Exams
Information about these upcoming exams has been sent home by your child’s homeroom teacher. Please check for these forms if your child is in grade 6-9.

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.
