Hello Haysboro Families!

Welcome back, we’re happy to see everyone!

We will continue sending our Friday messages however there are a few timely bits of info that we wanted to share as soon as possible, so we are sending this message today.

Dance Residency

We are really excited to share that we were recently able to confirm a residency with Decidedly Jazz Danceworks! We think this will be a great opportunity for students to be active while learning movement skills.

They are a group that is in high demand and so we feel really fortunate to get this opportunity. We have them booked to work with students for Jan 23, Jan 27, Jan 28, Jan 29 and Jan 30. We will culminate this residency with an evening showcase on Jan 30 where students will be able to share performances with their families. More details to follow but please mark your calendars.

Personal Mobile Device Reminder

As the holiday season has recently passed and students may have received a variety of gifts, we wanted to remind families of the Personal Mobile Device Policy (PMD) that was put in place by the Minister of Education before the start of this school year (please see your September Haysboro Happenings messages or the CBE website for full details). K-9 schools are designated as “Away for the day” and we will be reminding students that any such devices need to be stored appropriately or left at home. This includes a variety of devices not limited to Cellphones, Smart Watches and earbuds that have communication or connectivity capabilities.

Please refer to this message from the CBE website for more information and FAQ’s  (https://cbe.ab.ca/news-centre/Pages/personal-mobile-devices-and-social-media-use-in-schools-2024.aspx ) . Any additional updates will be shared as required.

Thank you, as always for your support of our staff, students and school community!

Have a great day!

Erin Bennett and Andrea Westine
