École Hudson Road Elementary

February was packed with many activities including lunch hour clubs, basketball for Grade 5, Battle of the Books practices, our Early Learning for Families (ELFF) event, Pink Shirt Day activities and assembly, Electives, Olympic and Reading Assembly, our PAC Family Dance, and much more! We are grateful for our parents involvement in a number of those activities, especially the Family Dance and the support offered during our electives. Thank you!

March will be short and sweet, and we hope the two weeks off during Spring Break offer your family an opportunity to spend time together, to rest and enjoy some time outside.

In-line skating starts today and will run until March 13. Each class will have the opportunity to participate in two lessons.

To participate, students:

• must wear socks (consider sending a dry pair in their backpacks)
• will be required to wear protective gear provided by the program
• will have to wear a helmet and are asked to bring one from home if possible (bicycle helmets, hockey helmets (no cage), skateboard helmets, and ski/snowboard helmets are all suitable). The helmets coming from home must have a safety certification sticker attached (e.g. CSA, CPSC, etc.)

The Student Learning Survey is for students in Grades 4, 7, 10, 11, and 12, their parents, staff and administrators. The Student Learning Survey provides important insight into the lived experiences of our learners. The results help schools and the district better understand students’ sense of identity, belonging, engagement, and learning, and they inform school planning and our ongoing work to improve learning experiences for all students. The survey is open until May 1. While Grade 4 students will complete their version of the survey at school, Grade 4 parents are asked to please check their email for the link sent out today. We appreciate your participation.

You can still order for April until March 15th.
