We will stagger times for elementary cohorts to get their orders from the canteen (students ordering non-hot items can go with their cohort).  Students will wash their hands after they receive their orders (before they begin eating).
Thank you Ms Dee and Ms Rhymer for your help getting our canteen started for our students!

Please be advised that our school office will be closed while staff are receiving safety training for our September Reopening. There will not be a staff member available to answer phone calls.

Greeting Parents;
This morning our staff and I met to start planning continuation of learning for Hudson’s Hope Students.  Teachers will be connecting with you in the next day or two to touch base, and also collect some survey information to help us with planning (such as do you have technology at home, reliable internet service, etc.).
Some of you will receive multiple calls if you have more than one child in school.
The plan is to be able to start providing some educational pieces by Monday, April 6th.  I will be providing some general activities that families can choose from as well.
We are really looking forward to getting connected with our community again…even if it “looks different”.
Go HAWKS Go!

PS – This message was sent via email to all parents/guardians. Email is the primary method of communication that I use for school announcements. If you did not receive the email, please contact me dbeam@prn.bc.ca so I can make sure my contact list is up to date. Thank you!

We had a great turnout of students and staff wearing pink to show their support for being kind.

For Parents of Hudson’s Hope School students in grade 4, 7, 10, or 12. When you have a few minutes please click on the link below and complete the survey (just use the “Direct Access”. Our District is “#60 – Peace River North). The survey contains 45 multiple choice questions to gather data for the Ministry of Education. Also, there are some key questions that we track as part of our school’s Framework to Enhance Student Learning (such as: “Do you feel welcome?”). The survey is open until April 3, 2020. If possible, please send a quick email to dbeam@prn.bc.ca stating that you have completed. Thank you! Survey Link
