Notes and Reminders!
Heritage Fair is coming! Notices were sent home outlining this year’s Canada 150 and project suggestions for Heritage Fair. Projects need to be in by April 7th. Our school will showcase projects on April 10th during interviews and our opening is on April 11th. Some classes have chosen to do this as a class, some in groups and some as individual home projects. Potentially, eight students from Grade 5 will be chosen to attend the District Heritage Fair representing our school. Winners will then have a chance to go on to the Provincial or National level. EVERY child at our school is to take part in the development of a project with a class mark grade being assigned to the project. Please support your child in their work. If you have any questions about the project expectations, please contact your child’s teacher. Our opening ceremony on April 11th has musical selections, guest speakers and of course, project judges at each grade level. This is a wonderful way to both learn about and to model quality project creation, and an even better way to celebrate what defines us as Canadians!
From the Phys Ed Department It’s basketball season and we are hyped to go. Students on the team will have a tournament on March 24th from 1-3:15. Come out to cheer for your player. ALL students have an opportunity to take part in basketball intramurals at Hubbard. GO HURRICANES!
HELP HELP! Once again our school and PSSC ask for your help in helping to keep our students be safe at Hubbard. The student drop of area is a busy spot in and around the parking lot. Our PSSC is working on easing the flow of traffic, but in the meantime as drivers you need to follow the arrows out there, and watch for students. Here is what will help:
There are TWO LANES at the parking lot drop off.
Drop off is on the inside lane, students get out and walk along the building, keep moving along the lane and please don’t park or idle there.
DO NOT drop your child off in the outside lane. If you need to stop your car, go park and walk with your child. Your child should never be expected to cross over the path of a vehicle. There have been close calls.
SLOW DOWN for safety sake.
Please do not use the staff parking area off of Mackenzie Ave. to drop off students. It is not deemed a drop off site.
Students being dropped off and walking should not arrive before 8:00 at which time outdoor supervision starts.
Mind the bus loading area. Keep it clear for buses only.
We understand that there have been several reminders about this, yet it continues to be a concern. Our PSSC has asked for support in this from both district and the RCMP. Ultimately we need you to help ensure all students are safe-including your own!
Rock Your Socks Off Day at Hubbard is March 21st. We will be holding an inclusion awareness day for Down Syndrome at our school. Wear mismatched socks for the day. The crazier the better! We will have a guest speaker, Len Porter who was born with Down Syndrome visit our school.
