UHill is a no bell school, students are all self regulated.
Welcome back carnival for students last Friday. .
Will bring workshops for students throughout the year. Topic may include: teen anxiety, technology usage, drugs and alcohol, etc.
School has a new Logo that was created by students last year, to reflect we are on First nation land.
Re “why school needs donation”: School board only provide basic funding. Fundraising is used for Enrichment for school: upgrade of computer, lab equipment, performers, scholarships.
This year school has an uncertain start - due to teacher shortage, some classes are still in planning. It will be settled very soon. End result will be more classes, less student in a class to provide better service to students.
Parent walk about tomorrow. (Sept. 21st)
