Good afternoon Parents and Guardians
I look forward to seeing you at the Parent Evening at Briar Hill on Wednesday, May 22 at 6:30pm.
Updates/Upcoming
Invitation to Attend the GATE Parent Association Board Meeting Tuesday May 21, at 7:00pm on Zoom
The GATE Parent Association will be holding an open Board meeting to:
- Answer questions from parents of GATE students interested in learning more about volunteering for the GPA. We have open positions that require volunteers.
- Discuss the remainder of the association's year and updating the GPA's bylaws.
If you have a student registered in the GATE program for this school year or next year, we would love it if you could attend.
Register at https://gatecalgary.ca/meeting-registration/ to receive the meeting link.

Whole Group Photo Purchases
A reminder if you would like to purchase this year's whole group photo, please submit your order online or have your child hand in the form with cash to Ms. Saxton in the office. Cash orders submitted to the office will be mailed out on Friday May 24, 2024.
Absences
If your child will not be in attendance due to a family trip before summer vacation, please notify Ms. Saxton at jnsaxton@cbe.ab.ca. This will prevent you from receiving absent phone calls. If the vacation is longer than five business days, an extended absence form must be filled out.
2024/2025 School Year Enrollment
A survey was sent out asking if your child will be attending Hillhurst next year. If you have not completed this survey and are aware that your child will not be returning, please inform us.
Lost and Found
If your child is missing anything, please encourage them to look in the lost and found. We have many items and want them returned to their owner. We will display any items left out at our Celebration of Learning. If you know your child is missing a specific item, email Ms. Saxton, and she can do her best to help your child find it.
