Orange Shirt Day – September 27th
Orange Shirt Day is a day where we encourage everyone to wear orange in honor of the survivors and victims of residential schools. The story of the Orange Shirt comes from Phyllis Webstad, who at six years old, had her brand-new orange shirt stolen from her on her first day at residential school. This movement has created allies across Canada, and the act of wearing an Orange Shirt shows our support for Indigenous peoples on this day. At Clayton Park, we will be wearing orange on Friday, September 27, in honour of residential school survivors and to demonstrate a collective belief that every child matters.
Updated Demographics and Information in PowerSchool
All families should have received an email today asking you to review and update any changes to your student’s information in PowerSchool. In the past, paper copies were sent home with students, however HRCE has made this procedure easier and paper-free. This is to ensure that we have the correct information in PowerSchool for communicating with you, emergency contacts, consent for publication, etc. Consent for publication gives permission for us to use a student’s photo or exemplar work in our yearbook, website and other social media. Thank you for reviewing this information. Please take time in the next day or two to review this email. The subject line in the email would have been: HRCE Student Demographic Update for (Students Name).
Water Bottles
Students are reminded to bring a water bottle with them as, there is no access to water fountains. We have water bottle refill stations for students to fill their water bottles throughout the day.
