Healthy Hunger ("FUN LUNCH Thursdays")
The next Hot Lunch is April 4tt! (As usual, orders must be placed by the previous Saturday.)
Hot lunch will offered each Thursday of the week, throughout the school year. Parents please log onto the Healthy Hunger website (www.healthyhunger.ca), where you may view the available options for your child(ren). Here you are able to select the date, class room and food/drink choices you want for your child. Payment is made online at this time.
Looking dairy-free or gluten-free options? Check out the items from Booster Juice and Boston Pizza!
Did you know that money raised from this program is given back to the school, helping to enrich our kiddo’s school experience? If you have any questions or comments, or would like to volunteer, please email Kasia at kasiamiller.kawshaw@gmail.com. Fun Lunch is driven by volunteers from the Kinosayo Parent Association.
Returning Student Forms
It's that time of year again! Returning student forms are live on your PowerSchool ParentPortal. A huge thank-you to all the parents who have already completed them; we've received nearly half of them back already!
It is important to remember that because your child currently attends a school in the St. Albert Public School Division (Kinosayo), you must fill in the RETURNING STUDENT FORM for them for next year, no matter which school in the Division you intend on having them attend next year (including current Grade 6 students who are moving on to junior high school). Completing the incorrect form (i.e., a NEW student form) will not pull through in our PowerSchool system, will not allow registration, and will result in you having to complete the RETURNING student form anyway.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Angie in the school office for more information.
