HET March 2023 School Newsletter

March @ HET...

Is for STAFF ONLY

We mark your child late after 8:30 am. Our first bell rings then so if kids arrive after that, they are considered late. Our doors open at 8:15 am so there is ample time to be here on time, ready to go. Please try to ensure your child is arriving to school on time.

We use Munch a Lunch, an online order & payment site. You will need to set up an account (if you don't already have one) and order & pay (at the time of ordering) with a credit card.

Lunch days are Tuesday & Thursdays.

HET has a closed campus policy. This means that your child can NOT leave the school without you signing him/her out, in person. You can appoint another adult to do so, please call the office and let us know who that may be.

Thank you in advance for your support with this school rule.

If you are sending your child to school with a cell phone, our expectations are:

Elementary students--no phones (unless teacher approved).

Junior high students--phones ONLY at breaks 11:25-12:05 &

1:25-2:05 (unless teacher approved).

If your child does not have a lock on his/her locker, the phone can be locked in the offfice.

If you need to get in touch with your child, please call the office (780) 766-9103.

Thank you in advance for your support with this school rule.

If your child will be absent from school, please phone the office (780) 766-9103 or email barbaramurphy@pwpsd.ca or your child's teacher. Our automated call home goes out at
