Just a reminder that we have a uniform policy at Highroad which includes shoes and socks. I have noticed a number of students coming to school without uniform-compliant socks. You can see the full uniform policy on our website.
Also, Knight Wear is only for Fridays, this includes sweaters and hoodies.
Thanks for your help with this
Tomorrow, January 18th, is Cozy Casual Day. Students can enjoy wearing their cozy clothes to school!
The following is a message from Mrs. Bartel, our Missions coordinator:
You are invited to the Guatemala 2023 Info Dessert Night on Jan 24 at 7 pm. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in your “My HRA” space. Even if you can’t come, you could give to the “Build a classroom in a village” project. Money can be given through the school office or at City Life church. Please designate for the HRA 2023 Mission project.
For the month of January and February the Kindies will be working on memorizing I John 4:11-12. Please look in your child’s folder today for a memory verse page and keep it in a safe place to practise in the next weeks. Each child will be expected to recite the passage from memory at the end of February. We will be practising this verse daily in class. Your help at home with this is greatly appreciated!
“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”
I John 4: 11-12
This afternoon we had some fun playing in the snow:
Thank you to the parents who joined us on such short notice for Welcome Wednesday today. We were happy to share this time with you! 
Happy New Year! I hope you’ll forgive me for the very late Thank You for all of the lovely cards and gifts I received before the Christmas break. I felt so blessed and spoilt!
I trust that you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday with your family and loved ones. The children were telling me all kinds of stories about the fun that they had on their Christmas break. Well done, moms and dads! I hope you managed to squeeze in a nap or two on the couch or do something fun for yourself. Let’s face it. Christmas can be a lot of work!
Starting this month we will begin “Welcome Wednesdays” in our classroom on Wednesday mornings. If you have the time when you’re dropping off your child we would love for you to feel welcome to come in for 10 minutes or so and read to your child and maybe one or two of their friends. If you can’t stay, no worries! We’ll make sure that each child is included in a reading group.
It’s going to be a great year ahead. Welcome, 2023!
