Hello Haysboro Families!
Please see below for our weekly updates!
Volunteers
As many families have noticed (or soon will), we have several field trips planned in the near future across several different grades. Thank you to those who have offered to volunteer in response to letters that have already come home. If you think you might be interested in volunteering soon or in the future, please contact Ms. Gauthier to confirm that you have a valid police clearance on file.
Fun Lunches
Haysboro School council is pleased to continue to offer fun lunches once a month for all interested students in grade 1-6 as well as kindergarten students who stay at Maple Roots for lunch. Orders may be made online through Healthy Hunger and are available for up to 5 days before the event. Please register through the link provided: https://healthyhunger.ca/parent-help
Lunches are delivered to the school and served at lunch time, proceeds from fun lunches are directed back to school improvement, experiences and field trips.
Upcoming Fun Lunches:
March 18 - The Saucy Bread Company (pretzels), ordering until March 13
April 15 - Little Caesars (Pizza), ordering until April 10
May 13 - Cedars Deli (Shawarma/donair), ordering until May 8
Thank you all of our wonderful volunteers and School Council for supporting Fun Lunches and many other activities that happen at Haysboro School throughout the year!
Parking Lot and Street Safety
A heartfelt thank you to those families who have adapted their street safety habits to model safe behaviour for our students. We know it may take a few extra moments, but your efforts are noticed and appreciated. A gentle reminder that as with all schools, the parking lot has stalls assigned and is not available for student drop off or pickup. With the slippery conditions and staff who are frequently in and out of the parking lot, reducing community traffic is important for personal and vehicle safety. Thank you in advance for parking on the street and walking your child to the school.
Clothing and Weather
As we continue with the colder months, we want to remind you that we do monitor outdoor temperatures and students will go outside daily unless it is extremely cold or wet. We have observed that some students are arriving in running shoes or light jackets. Appropriate foot wear and jackets ensure their safety if and when they do go outside and we want to support all students in being active outside during recess times and any physical education outdoors. Thank you in advance for ensuring that your Haysboro School student arrives with clothing appropriate for the weather.
Also, please note that as our weather warms up, our field and walking areas in the community can be slippery or have large puddles. We would recommend sending an extra pair of socks in your child’s backpack in case they get wet. We do ask students to stay away from and out of puddles but for some students, they are very hard to resist.
Important Dates:

Have a great weekend,
Erin Bennett and Andrea Westine
