Principal’s
Message
Its hard to believe we are already beginning November; students have attended almost a quarter of the school year! WOW!
Staff have been busy ensuring that there are wonderful learning opportunities for students everyday and will be providing progress report feedback to parents coming up in the next few weeks. Your child’s progress report is “designed to show a student’s development of the learning skills and work habits during the fall of the school year, as well as a student’s general progress working towards the achievement expectations” (Growing Success).
Bell times are- to start the day 8:50 and end of day for buses/pick up is 3:10
We ask that parents do not drop students off before the 8:45 bell as there is no supervision until that time.
The weather is changing! Please remember to send your child to school
in layers so that they are warm enough on those cool mornings but still able to
enjoy the warm fall afternoons.
This year staff and students will focus on a character trait each month. For the month of November HCCS will be focusing on Respect. We encourage students to demonstrate Respect everyday throughout the school year. Respect rewards students with feeling good about themselves and certainly upholds the reputation of HCCS as a Respectful school community. Please keep our character education initiatives in mind and speak to your child about what it looks like, feels like and sounds like. Building strong character helps students develop life-long skills that will lead them to success.
My door is always open, and I value your input and feedback. My
goal is to
provide all students with an excellent education in a safe and supportive
environment, in partnership with staff, parents and the community. You are
welcome to chat with me either through a phone call, or email me at [email protected].

Snack
Program, Pizza and Milk
We offer nutritious snacks through out the day to students and
appreciate all the efforts to run this program by our volunteers. This year we
will also be offering pizza and milk as well as sub days. We are looking for
parent volunteers that would meet School Board requirements so that we can
support these programs for students.
Contact the school if you have an hour a week to volunteer!
With restrictions lifted we just want to remind parents that they should continue to ensure students are feeling well before coming to school and keep in mind that students will still have to go home if they are feeling unwell. Thank you for continuing to monitor their health prior to the school day beginning!
This year staff and students will focus on a character trait each month. For the month of September HCCS will be focusing on Goal Setting. Please keep our character education initiatives in mind and speak to your child about what it looks like, feels like and sounds like. Building strong character helps students develop life-long skills that will lead them to success.
IMPORTANT: If you are interested in volunteering within the school, your child's classroom or on field trips you must have a valid Police Criminal Records check. Please contact the office for more information.
