Families,
We’ve made it to the end of the 2021-22 school year – and what a year it’s been…
Thank you, once again, for your continued support through yet another pandemic school year. Even though COVID presented challenges, I know that students grew as readers, explorers, thinkers and problem-solvers. They became mathematicians and scientists. They discovered. And they learned the critical life skill of resilience, by living through the many ups and downs of a global pandemic.
I am excited and hopeful for what next year will bring!
As you head into summer, here are a few things we would like you to know:
-
Student Registration
Are you moving this summer? Looking to sign up for Pre-Primary? Know someone who is new to our school system? We are accepting registrations for Pre-Primary through Grade 12 online starting on July 1. You can find more information at www.hrce.ca/registration. If you need assistance with registration, our Parent Navigators are available to help.
