Parents of Grade 4 students will receive an email this week with a link to complete the Ministry of Education Student Learning Survey. All grade 4 parents are encouraged to complete this survey as it provides important information for the school, district and ministry. Parents do not need a password to complete the survey.

Thank you to all of our grade 5 students who participated in our modified basketball program this year. It has been amazing to see how much our students skills have improved over the past couple months despite their limited game experience. All students who participated indicated that they were excited about playing basketball again next year at SMS! 

We are planning to continue with our swimming program in May/June this year! However, COVID guidelines require that students under that age of 7 require a 2:1 student to adult ratio for supervision. As a result, if you have a child under the age of 7 please consider volunteering to join your child's class as an active participant during their two swim sessions in May/June. Our swim times will be between 9:00am and 12:00pm on a Tuesday or Thursday. More information will be coming home soon.

All students at Hillcrest will participate in Cross Country Running 2-3 times per week during the month of April. Please ensure your child has some appropriate outdoor running shoes to help make this experience as enjoyable as possible. Runs will begin after the Easter Long Weekend.
