Upcoming Dates in April

Even though social distancing practices will still be in place over the planned Easter Break weekend from Friday, April 10 th to Monday, April 13 th , we will still be honoring the break. We will not be sending out resources, emails, or conducting meets during the long weekend.

Monday, April 27 th is a Professional Development Day. There will be no emails sent or meets conducted that day as staff will be meeting as a larger group to collaborate, evaluate, and learn together.

Parent/Teacher Interviews have been postponed for the time being. We will inform parents when the date is rescheduled. If you need to meet with the classroom before then, please email your teaching team and they will set up a Google Meet with you.

Gala Cancellation & Donation
We are very sad that we had to cancel our 2020 Gala, but look forward to celebrating with you next year at our 2021 Gala on April 24th. Please save that date in your calendar! 

The funds raised from this annual event are vital to our ability to offer our unique programs and services at New Heights. As a not-for-profit organization, we would be incredibly grateful for a donation of any amount.  All donations will be matched up to 50% as a participating charity in Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink (BFK).  Click  here  to make a donation to New Heights today!
