Dear Parents,

Thank you to the few volunteers who submitted the green forms or reached out to the current committee. We appreciate your initiative!!

Unfortunately, there has not been enough volunteers come forward to assist with coordinating the days for Subway, Freson Bros, or Karin Miller so the program will need to be suspended until volunteers come forward.

If anyone is interested in stepping up, we do have duties of each role written out so you can understand the expectations of the position before committing.

Day coordinators will need to commit approximately 2hrs on the day of their hot lunch. Volunteers for that day would commit approximately 1hr.

A survey requesting input on the days to offer (maybe more could participate if Hot Lunch was offered on a different day), variety of meals, price of meals, etc.

The current Committee members are happy to orient and assist new volunteers.

If you have any questions about the above Coordinator positions, please contact any of our committee members or phone/text Shyanne Jones at 403-857-9556. With your assistance the program can return to be a success!

Yours truly,

Hot Lunch Program Coordinators

Please meet at the bus stop by 8:20 am for transportation to J. C. Charyk Hanna School. Buses will transport students back to the same location after school. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Registration forms were sent home with students on the first day of school. Please read the registration form carefully, make any changes necessary, sign (page 3) and return it back to your child’s homeroom teacher (grades K-9) or the office (grades 10-12) along with FOIP, and Offsite Consent forms as soon as possible. A reminder to parents that the school requires a copy of each student’s birth certificate as verification of student’s eligibility to be registered in school if that has not already been provided. Parents please sign the registration form (page 3) and ensure that any new home or cell phone numbers and an up to date email address are provided. Invoices for junior high ($25/term) and senior high ($50 per option class) options fees will be included in this package and are due on Friday, November 1.

There will be a School Council Meeting on Tuesday, September 17 at 7:00 pm in the Staff Room. All parents/guardians are encouraged to attend.

One of the first steps to starting the Green Certificate Program is an induction meeting which serves as an information session for students, trainers, parents, and schools. There are 2 induction meetings, each individual must register for a meeting that works for their schedule. The meeting will take place on Zoom. The session will start with an overview of the program and will allow for a Q&A session at the end of the meeting. The session usually takes 15-30 minutes. The induction meeting is mandatory for new participants to the program, if you have already attended an induction meeting you do not need to attend again. New students will also need to fill out a registration form (attached).

AGR3000 is a prerequisite for Green Certificate, grade 10 students will have the opportunity to complete this course in CALM class.

I have attached important information and forms for your reference and use:

- GCP information sheet

- GCP FAQ's

- 2 versions of the GCP registration forms (a print off version and a fillable pdf. version)

- The Green Certificate Test Schedule for the 2024-2025 school year (For the Central Region)

Each participant can choose to register on the date that works best for them:

Tuesday, September 17th @ 6:30pm REGISTER HERE

Thursday, September 19th @ 12:30pm REGISTER HERE

To ensure that students are dropped off and picked up in a safe manner, please see the map below to show appropriate drop off locations for students. We ask that if you are using a parking lot, please park appropriately and walk your child to the doors to ensure they get into the building safely. There is a dedicated drop off zone on the north side of 7th Avenue West. We are asking you not to park on the south side of 7th Avenue West as it impedes traffic flow on that street. If you are parking / dropping off in the bus loop (between 9:00 am - 2:30 pm or after 3:30 pm), ensure you are only parking on the sidewalk side of the loop.

The Hanna Gymnastics Club is looking for 3 students to assist with the set up and 3-5 students that would like to assist with clean up. The club runs Monday and Wednesday and these are labour intensive positions so we ask that you be able to lift 40lbs and preference will be given to students in grades 9-12. They are paid positions and we will discuss the positions with any interested individuals. Please contact hannagymnastics7@gmail.com if you are interested in helping out.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything!
