Week at a Glance - Sept 27, 2021

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Orange Shirt Day

Monday Sept 27 is Orange Shirt Day at Hillcrest! Students are asked to wear Orange on this day as we begin our "Orange Shirt Week" activities and come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope! If your child does not have anything orange to wear the school will have some orange shirt paper cutouts that they can wear in participation.

As part of Orange Shirt Week we will also be kicking off our Secwepemc Flag Pole fundraising with a Coin Drive! The goal will be to collect enough coins as a school to stretch the length of the 30' flag pole we plan to purchase and raise along side our BC and Canada flags in the front of the school.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Thursday September 30, 2021 marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. There will be no school on this day as it has been declared a Federal Statutory Holiday.

PAC Meeting

Our first PAC Meeting of the year will be on Monday September 27 @ 8:00pm. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. This will be an online meeting held through Teams so there is no need to find a babysitter! All you need is a device that has access to a modern web browser (ie. Google Chrome works best). Watch for an email invite today with the Teams link required to join the meeting.

Photo Day

Picture day is on Wednesday Sept 29. Photographers from Mountain West Studios will be at Hillcrest from 8:00-12:00 to take your child's individual. Please help your child look their best on this day.

Permission Forms and School Fees

Thank you to everyone who has already completed their online permission forms and payed their school fees. If you have not completed these tasks yet please do so ASAP. Some of the forms that must be completed are required so that teachers can begin using certain technology in their classroom (ie. My Blueprint, Google Classroom, Office 365 etc.) and take students on walking field trips. Below is a link to our first newsletter which contains the information you need to complete these tasks. If you cannot pay your school fees at the moment please contact the office at (250) 832-7195.
