Hello Haysboro Families!
Please see below for our weekly updates.
Haysboro School Open House
Our school open house is on Thursday, September 18 from 5:30-7:00 pm. This is an opportunity for families to come to meet our staff, visit their child's new classrooms and see other learning spaces in the school. Our garden committee will be serving tea made from plants in the garden as well. Please join us!
Forms, Forms, Forms
Please review and complete the forms that have been sent home. We have attached a cover letter to indicate what needs to be returned and what you can keep for your own information.
The CBE also works in a digital way and many of our important forms are in your MyCBE account. Please remember to log in soon to ensure that you have completed the annual demographics verification (we need to verify that we have current contact information) and register for lunchroom supervision if your child stays with us during the lunch break. This is also where you will be able to see report cards when they are posted (2 times in a year). Please follow this link for more information: https://sis.cbe.ab.ca/public/home.html
Terry Fox
Today, our school participated in the annual Terry Fox run. We are so proud of all of our students for joining in, running hard and bringing such a positive vibe! Thank you to the families that were able to come cheer our students on! If you would like to donate to The Terry Fox Foundation, all donations can be made online by going to https://schools.terryfox.ca/haysboro.
Fun Lunch
Haysboro School Council is pleased to continue to offer monthly fun lunches through Healthy Hunger for the new school year. Meals will be delivered at lunchtime to students in grade 1-6 and Kindergarten students who attend Maple Roots after school program. If you would like to participate, you can register with Healthy Hunger if you haven't already through the following link: https://healthyhunger.ca/parent-help

Orders may be made online through Healthy Hunger and are available for 5 days before the event.
Lunches are delivered to the school and served at lunch time, proceeds from fun lunches are directed back to the School Council account to support initiatives like student experiences, field trips, etc.
Furry Friends and Outside Activities
We are so grateful that Haysboro School has so many families that can come by and visit before and after school in the field, and by the playground. To ensure that everyone in the community feels safe and comfortable, we kindly request that students and families walk their bikes, scooters, etc. until they are away from the school and crowds. This will help to reduce the risk of surprise collisions.
Also, while Mr. Bennett is probably the biggest dog lover ever; we would like to remind families that there is a City of Calgary Bylaw that prohibits dogs from being on school grounds. You are welcome to bring your pets to the edge of the school yard, but we ask that no matter how big or small they are, your furry friends remain outside of the fenced area all the way around the property. Thank you so much for your support!
Parking lot
A gentle reminder that our school parking lot is fully assigned to staff in the school and the associated offices. While a spot may be open during the day, that staff member may be returning at any time. Additionally, for the safety of people who may be walking through the parking lot and the vehicles inside, we need to keep traffic to a minimum. If you are dropping off, picking up or coming in to ask a question, we ask that you park on the street (watch out for the bus zone!) and walk into our building. Thank you very much for your support.
School Shirts
Thank you to Julie and Kendra from our School Council for coming in yesterday to sort and distribute our new school shirts to all of our students! If your child was away, we have kept a list and will get them a shirt when they return. Thank you again to our School Council and the families who donated through Education Matters for providing the funds to get our school shirts into the hands of every student this year.
Want more Haysboro School gear??? Stay tuned as the online store will open up soon. More information will come out when it's ready to go!
