Good afternoon Parents and Guardians,
Student Led Conferences – March 21 and 22
The upcoming learning conferences will be student-led. Half-hour blocks will be offered for up to 3 families to book to spend time visiting centers that have been designed for students to share their work samples, teach their parents a concept they have learned, engage in tasks together as well as meet with the teacher, either formally or informally. Your child essentially will act as your tour guide and celebrate their achievements with you. Conference booking will open March 16 (Saturday) at 9:00am.
If your child is in Kindergarten and/or Mrs. Watkins/ Underdahl Grade 4 GATE classes, please use the booking prompt for your child’s class and teacher.
Teacher Potluck for Conferences – School council is seeking volunteers to help put together a potluck supper for teachers the night of conferences. Please click on the link below if you are interested in contributing. Thank you in
advance!

Fun Lunch – please place your order by midnight tonight for this Wednesday’s fun lunch (March 20).
Career Day
Volunteers Required - We are hoping to continue last year’s successful CAREER DAY again this year. Career day is an opportunity for our students to be inspired and motivated by you and learn of the many paths they can pursue. By design, Career Day is meant to encourage students to explore their passions and deepen their strengths and learning. This year’s Career Day is set for Friday, April 26 from 10am – 12pm.
We are looking for
- 15 – 20 parents, guardians, friends or relatives of Hillhurst students who would be willing to share their careers, jobs or passions with our students.
- Artifacts, hands-on activities and interactive, presentations are encouraged! We would ask that your presentation be 20 minutes in length, and that it would be repeated 3 times, with a different group of
students each time. Students will range from Grade 1 – Grade 6.
Please fill out the following form if you would like to volunteer for CAREER DAY. Please forward this link on to a friend or family member if you know they would be interested in being a Career Day presenter. This event runs solely on us having enough volunteers. A teacher committee member will send you more specific information closer to the date. Thank you in advance for your support!
