MORING SUPERVISION & STUDENT DROP-OFF
Early Bus Students
Supervisors outside between 8:10 and 8:25 am are supervising students who are dropped off early so buses can complete a second route before the start of school. In the past, there have been around 15 students on the early bus and they have been brought inside. With almost 70 students dropped off early this year, early bus students will stay outside to play unless the weather dictates we bring them in. Supervisors outside between 8:10 and 8:25 are for these early bus students.
Parent Drop off students: Families are welcome to bring students to school early, but we ask that parents walk their children to the playground area and supervise them until all teachers are outside for classroom supervision at 8:25 am.
Thank you for your help with the changes that have been made to support the changes to busing this year. Please call the school at 403-563-3998 if you have any questions about early morning supervision. Elaine Garner, Principal
TERRY FOX WALK
All 3 CNP schools will meet for an assembly at Isabelle Sellon School on Friday September 20, 2024. This brief assembly will start at 11:30, followed by a walk through Blairmore. Families are invited to join their child(ren)’s class and walk with them. If parents plan to take their child home from the walk, please let your child’s teacher know. It is always wonderful to see all students of the CNP walking together, and supporting each other at this event. HAS students are asked to bring a ‘Toonie for Terry’ the week of Sept. 16-20.. Any donations are gratefully accepted. All donations will go to the Terry Fox Foundation. A permission slip will come home with students on Monday September 16th.
PARENT COUNCIL AGM
Parent Council will have its AGM on Tuesday September 17, 2024 at 2:00 pm in Room 210 at Horace Allen School. This meeting is for all HAS families. Please sign in at the office and head upstairs. We look forward to seeing you at this meeting.
LICE IN SCHOOL
Now that we are back in school, please be diligent in checking your child's head carefully and continue to do so regularly. If you do notice lice on your child's head, we encourage you to please treat promptly and thoroughly. Some families choose to inform the school if their child is infested, and we appreciate this information so we can let the rest of our school community know. We do keep the name of the student(s) confidential in order to protect the privacy of the family. However, this is strictly voluntary. We do not always know when there are lice in the school. Please contact Community Health Site at 403-562-5030 if you have any questions.

LOST AND FOUND
We always have a surplus of lost and found items that collect at our school. We will have lost and found bins inside each of our 3 entrances. Unclaimed items will be brought to a local second hand store every 2 months. Please clearly label all of your child's belongings so we can return their lost items to them.
