Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 21st from 4:00-8:00. The following day, report cards will be posted on the Parent Portal at 4:00. Parent/teacher conferences will take place before the report card as it allows the teacher to connect with the parent about the child’s learning, providing the context for reading the report card. We encourage all parents to attend the conferences as a strong home connection supports student learning. A follow-up letter will be sent with details on registering for a parent/teacher conference.
No School – November 22nd – Professional Development Day
Winter Weather
As we move closer to winter, the chance of inclement weather increases. School cancellation and bus delay information is available on the website at http://hsd.ca. Please also see the HSD Weather Guidelines. Parents/caregivers can help our students be prepared for their walk to school and recess activities by dressing them in layers and ensuring their child has a toque, mitts and warm winter boots. Warm winter clothing is essential in Manitoba, and facial protection is recommended. Including extra socks and mittens in your child’s backpack will ensure they have dry replacements if needed. Please note that when students get off the bus in the morning, they will stay outside on the playground until the 8:50 buzzer rings, so having them dressed in winter gear when they get on the bus prepares them for their time outside.
Christmas Concert – Tuesday, December 17th – Save the Date!
Kindergarten to Grade 3 students and the Grade 5 and 6 choir are starting to prepare for the Christmas Concert. Our grade 4-6 classes will perform at our Spring musical. The Christmas Concert will be held at the Landmark Prairie Rose Church at 10:00 am and at 7:00 pm. We thank the church for sharing its space with us as it provides a bigger and more beautiful venue than our school gym.
