Good afternoon Higgins' Famiies
Our first week of school is done. It was a smooth week. On Thursday I met with all students during their physed time and went over school rules, and encouraged them to get involved as much as possible in school activities, clubs, and teams. Parents remember that grade 7 and 8 students must remain on school property at lunch, and Grade 9s do have permission to go off of school property as long as they continue to be outstanding citizens in the community and respect the length of the lunch break.
Below are upcoming events for Higgins.
School Council
The first school council meeting is this Thursday, September 11 at 6:30pm. School council will take place in the learning commons. All parents are encouraged to take part in the school council as it is a great way to be informed, and to have a say in school activities. We look forward to a large turnout of parents.
