<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Highland Park Husky Families,</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We have an exciting update about how school supplies will be provided for students at HPE beginning in September 2026 – 2027 school year.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">After careful review and consultation with staff and PAC, our school will be moving from families purchasing individual school supplies to a board approved school-based supply fee of $45 that covers all consumable classroom learning materials used during the school day.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This approach offers important benefits for students, families, and our school community:</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">1. Lower overall cost for families</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Currently, families spend approximately $70–$85 per child on school supplies purchased through PAC. By purchasing supplies in bulk at the school level, we can obtain higher-quality materials at significantly lower prices. These savings are passed directly on to families.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Higher quality supplies</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Bulk purchasing allows us to select durable, classroom-appropriate materials that last longer and better support student learning. Teachers will have access to what they need when they need it—without waiting for replacements or substitutions.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Greater consistency and organization for students</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">When all students are using the same types of supplies, this helps with the development of students’ executive functioning skills and overall classroom organizational efficiency. This consistency in supplies helps students focus on learning while developing important organizational skills. Also, every student has what they need when they need it. </span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">4. More flexibility for teachers</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Instead of relying on a fixed grade-level supply list, teachers can acquire the materials that best match their students’ learning needs and teaching style. This allows us to better support hands-on learning, creativity, and differentiated instruction.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The school supply fee will cover all classroom consumable supplies used during the school day, including notebooks, lined paper, plain paper, colour paper, pencils, white board markers for student use, art materials (markers, pencil crayons, crayons) and other supplies deemed necessary by the teacher for high quality learning opportunities.&nbsp;</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Items used throughout the year (such as used notebooks or folders, markers, etc.) will be sent home with students at the end of the school year in June.&nbsp; Non-consumables such as scissors, rulers, calculators, clip boards, individual white boards, math tools, etc. are things that will be purchased outside of the school supply fee and used year after year.&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Families are still welcome to purchase supplemental or personal items for their child (such as special pencil cases, decorative folders, etc.) if they wish. These items are optional and meant to allow for individual expression.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We believe this change will make school more affordable, equitable, and supportive of high-quality learning for all students. Most importantly, it allows teachers and students to have what they need when they need it in order to focus on learning.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we take this positive step forward for our school community.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Warm regards,</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Shelly Cull</span></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Thursday, February 12, 2026, at Highland Park Elementary started with a sense of excitement and curiosity. As students rushed to their classrooms and community volunteers arrived at the school doors. The Second Annual Career Fair was about to begin. This supports students and staff in their engagement with the school learning plan and district strategic plan goals of increasing students’ awareness and engagement in careers and a curiosity about their futures and the possible opportunities that await them.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/c02307b3-1838-4e79-a7fe-c14cf7d6a828" alt="Picture1" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">With much gratitude we welcomed 18 volunteers who were eager to share what they do, the tools of their trade, the education needed to be successful in their career. Many even shared the challenges they faced as students during their elementary and high school years. Careers presented were varied and all very interesting, including (but not limited to), Forest Technician, Metal Fest Organizer, Fire Fighter (complete with truck), RCMP, Civil Engineer, Alzheimer's Society, Canadian Mental Health, Early Childhood Educator, Midwifery, Robotics Engineer, Financial Planner, Brown Derby Restaurant Owner, Social Worker, Occupational Therapist, and Plumbing/HVAC/Gas.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/67365896-1a43-4e6e-bb6a-4271d71794ca" alt="Picture2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">These presentations created a sense of curiosity and wonder amongst students and staff as presenters shared their passions. What really stood out amongst the presentations was the idea that all our presenters felt that what made them successful in their careers was a sense of curiosity, a willingness to make mistakes, and a determination to continue learning. The students of Highland Park not only learned about the huge variety of career opportunities in their community but also the valuable skills they can begin to build that will make them successful. These skills are also a part of being Husky Strong!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/c96d8311-f43c-4043-9e03-77a62ed2ed20" alt="Picture3" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
