Students Leaving School at Lunch
A reminder that our school is a closed campus. This means that only students who have permission to go home for lunch are allowed to leave school grounds; we manage this this permission through the office. Thank you in advance for having a conversation about this with your children.
Students Being Prepared for Class
It is that time of year where your child's school supplies may be running low. We have many students arriving to class unprepared, often without paper or a writing instrument. Please ensure that your children have the requisite materials for their success; please contact the office if you need assistance with this matter.
Option Selection for 2024 - 2025 - Deadline April 30
Here is the option registration information for the 2024-25 school year. Click the link to our website where you will find our registration guide (Parent Info→Registration→FRH Registration Guide 2024-25) as well as other information about our school. If you haven’t already done so, please take some time to go through the options so that you are ready to submit your requests.
All registrations will be done through the POWERSCHOOL PARENT PORTAL at home so that families are aware of selections and are able to choose the best fit options. The deadline for submitting options is April 30, 2024.
We will do our very best to accommodate all requests, but sometimes there are scheduling challenges where options run at the same time. We will create our offerings based on your selections. Please make sure you are carefully choosing the options that you want to be in. Based on interest, options may or may not be able to run.
As the process may be new for some of our families, we have created a video to help you with selecting and ranking of options. Here is the link to the VIDEO.
*(Please note: Options will NOT be ranked this year – ignore this step.)
If you do not know your Parent Portal information, please contact your current school's main office.
For any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact FR Haythorne’s main office at (780) 467-3800.

Has your contact information recently changed?
Have you recently moved or has your contact information changed? F.R. Haythorne Junior High encourages families to review the information the Division has on file to ensure it’s up to date. Using the Student Information Update available through the PowerSchool Parent Portal, families can review the current information on file for each student—including addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, parent and guardian information, emergency contacts, medical details and other related information—and submit any updates needed.
Reviewing and updating the form ensures the school and Division have the most up-to-date information regarding your child. Your review is especially important as the Division prepares for 2024-25 registration processes beginning in the new year.
NOTE: Only submit updates for the changes that have already taken place. If you’re moving later this school year, you’ll submit the necessary updates to your information through the Student Information Update after you’ve moved.
If you have questions about the form or any trouble with your Parent Portal account, contact the school office at 780-467-3800.
