As we progress through the school year, we want to remind everyone about Brightspace, an essential tool that can help you stay informed about your child's classes.

Brightspace is the online learning platform where students can access and submit assignments, track deadlines and review any missed work. Login regularly to see what is on the horizon and support your child in staying on top of their work if they are absent or missing for various reasons.

Our staff ensures that Brightspace is updated, and students at F.R. Haythorne use this platform regularly. If you are unsure of how to navigate this, ask them to login and show you!

To access Brightspace, please visit Brightspace Parents & Guardians at the bottom of the eips.ca website. If you require assistance in accessing this platform, please look at the attached document which clearly describes the set-up and logging in process, as well as all the features available to you under your child’s or children’s Student Dashboard.

Staying engaged with Brightspace will help you support your child’s learning journey and ensure they stay on track with their studies!

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education.

The grade 9 FSL class will be hosting a silent auction and bake sale in early December and are looking for donations for their silent auction. If you would be willing donate an item, please contact Mrs. Getschel by email (crystal.getschel@eips.ca).

As part of our commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all students, we want to remind our community that we are a Nut-Aware School.

To protect students with nut allergies, we ask all families to refrain from sending any foods that contain nuts to school.

Nut allergies can pose serious health risks, and we want to minimize the chance of exposure for those students affected. By working together, we can create a safer environment for everyone.

What can you do?

• Please check ingredient labels carefully before sending food to school.
• Encourage your child to choose nut-free snacks and meals.
• Discuss the importance of this with your child to help them understand.

We appreciate your cooperation and support in keeping our school community safe. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
