Dear Beddington Heights Families,

 I have a couple things to share after this short week:

 Parent Teacher Interviews | November 27 & 28

 Please see the chart below for information on Parent Teacher Interviews coming up in two weeks.

Families are required to book a time for their interview through their MyCBE account where you can select Book and Manage Meeting Times. More information on how to book an appointment can be found here.

 Families requiring an interpreter will be contacted by one at their appointment time to assist in the communication during the meeting.

Fun Lunch | Dominoes

Our next Fun Lunch will be Dominoes Pizza on November 27th. Ordering deadline is November 22. Orders can be placed at HealthyHunger.ca.

Popcorn Sales | Delivered Every Thursday

Again this year, the Parent Council will be selling popcorn for students which will be distributed each Thursday. All proceeds will support BHS families in need during the Winter Break/Christmas season. Popcorn orders will be made through Healthy Hunger, so students won’t need to bring money to school. Families can also pre-order for multiple weeks if they prefer.

To order, please visit HealthyHunger.ca. The ordering deadline each week is the Saturday before each Thursday.
