Parents please note: the gym is closed to elementary school students before and after school. If your child comes to school before the bell rings, supervision is outside on the playground and your child is encouraged to be out there playing. If you would prefer to wait in the hallway quietly with your child, that is an alternative available to you. The only time we go in the gym before school is if it is an inside day because of the weather.
Thank you for your cooperation.
We have two warm welcomes to extend! First, welcome to Mrs. Gotzen’s sweet baby girl, Haven! Born March 16 at 9:49 am and weighing 6 pounds, 5 ounces.
We would also like to welcome Mrs Kerdachi to our classroom. She will spend the rest of the year with us in Kindergarten. We are so thankful she is here!

Just a reminder that we have a uniform policy at Highroad that includes socks and shoes. I have copied and pasted the guidelines from the school website to remind you:
Socks:
• Black, white, grey, navy or a combination, no additional
colours, patterns or pictures outside the colour
guidelines.
Shoes:
• Black, white, brown, grey or a combination, no
additional colours, no patterns, no lights or animated
pictures, non-marking soles, closed in, runners/shoes, 2”
heel or less
There are some very colorful socks and shoes being worn and these do not align with our uniform policy. Please help your child comply with these policy guidelines by providing what they need. Thanks for your help!
“(be) quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry”
James 1:19
PLEASE be practicing with your child at home. Last week’s verse was only 3 words long and due to our short and busy weeks we didn’t practice much in class, and very few children were successful at saying the verse. Home practice is so important!
Join us for an exciting Math Mayhem event on March 4th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM, where families can enjoy a night filled with fun math games hosted by our amazing Grade 10-12 students! This is a fantastic opportunity to win awesome prizes while fostering a love for math in a lively atmosphere. We encourage families to participate together, as it’s guaranteed to be a blast for everyone! Please remember that an adult must accompany students and cannot be dropped off unattended at this event.
