​Dear HWW Students, Families, and Community members, 
It has been an important week as we honour and commemorate residential school survivors, their families and loved ones and our Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. We will wear our Orange Shirts tomorrow and, on Friday, we encourage all of our students and families to join one of the many events to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Please see Kathleen Well's message below for links and event information. 
We have received an update from Alberta Education that Diploma Exams will be weighted at 20% for this school year. Please see the exam section below for details.
This year, International Walk to School Day is Wednesday, October 5, 2022. Canada held its first national Walk a Child to School Day in 1998 with participants from five provinces. We encourage our students and families to find creative ways to get active and walk to school.
Thank you to all of our families who were able to attend our Meet the Teacher evening last week. It was wonderful to welcome parents/guardians to our building. Many parents expressed their newfound appreciation for all the stairs students climb in a day! 
And finally, our best to all of our families who have celebrated Rosh Hashanah this past week. Wishing you the very best of the New Year. 
 
With appreciation, 
 
Aileen Smyth 
Principal
