Remembrance Day Assembly: We will be having a Remembrance Day Assembly tomorrow afternoon at 12:00 and students are invited to wear their uniforms if they are in Sparks, Embers, Guides, Beavers or Cubs.
We are looking for a family who is attending the Remembrance Day Service in Waverley to lay the wreath on behalf of Holland Road Elementary. Please email us if you would like to do this and we can either send the wreath home with your child on Friday or you can pick it up.
Holiday Concert: Mark the date! Our Holiday Concert will be on Wed. Dec. 11, with a snow date on Thurs. Dec. 12. There will be 2 performances, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. We will provide you with a schedule soon so that you know when your child(ren) are performing.
Inclement Weather: HRCE takes great care when making the decision to alter the regular operations of schools and school buses in the event of severe or inclement weather. Their goal is to communicate any changes to the regular operations of schools and/or buses as close to 6:00 a.m. as possible. A 6:00 am announcement could be:
· All schools are delayed in opening by two hours (which would be 10:00 at HRES) and bus pickups are delayed by two hours; or · All schools are open, but some or all busses are not operating for the day; or
· Some schools (either individually or by family) are closed for the day; or
· All schools are closed for the day.
If weather deteriorates, or is forecasted to worsen throughout the morning, an 11:00 a.m. announcement could be:
· Bussed students will be picked up two hours earlier than their regular dismissal time (which would be 11:45); and
· Walking students will be dismissed at their regularly scheduled lunch hour.
How will I find out?
· By email to the addresses in PowerSchool
· By text message, if you have opted-in. If you aren’t sure if you have opted-in, text Y to the following number: 978338
It’s important to always have a plan in place for childcare in the event of any cancellation. For more information on how HRCE manages during inclement weather, visit hrce.ca/weather.
