After over 30 years at Hay Lakes School, Mr. Scott Peterson has announced that he will be retiring at the end of the 2024-2025 school year. Mr. Peterson has had a significant impact on our community for the past three decades, and has taught thousands of students over the years. We wish him well in his retirement, and look forward to him visiting our building once he does retire!

We are in the early stages of planning an alumni tournament to honour Mr. Peterson's legacy. Stay tuned for more details!

Our second set of parent teacher interviews are coming up on March 6th from 3:30 to 8:30 at the school. A link will be sent out to register for interviews next week.

This is an amazing paid summer opportunity for grade 11 students!

Please take some time to read the monthly message from Superintendent Rhae-Ann Holoien.

Just a reminder that Battle River School Division has moved to online consent forms, and these consent forms/permission forms are located on your child's Rycor account (the same place you order hot lunch and pay for School Fees).

You can find the link on the Hay Lakes School Website here:

https://haylakes.brsd.ab.ca/

• Once on the Website click the black box on the right hand side - Quick Links
• Click Online Payments/ordering
• Click Online Payments & Ordering

• Sign in to your account - here you will see all the items available (hot lunch, milk and permission forms etc)
• Select the form you are looking for
  
• Fill out all the information (many fields will be marked mandatory and will not allow you to proceed until the form has been completely filled out)
  
• Once this form is filled out, select the blue box in the bottom right hand corner "add to cart"
  

** Please note this next step**

Once the form has been added to the cart you MUST sign it out of the cart - if there is a fee assigned it will prompt you here for payment. If no payment is required you will still need to confirm the items in your cart to finalize the completion of this form.

**If you do not finalize the items in your cart the form will not be processed and will not be completed.**

If you have any questions please contact the office (780-878-3368) and we will gladly assist you.
