Once again, we would like to thank our parent community for all the support you provide to your children and the whole school community as together we can work to develop the productive citizens and leaders of tomorrow. On behalf of the entire Hellings staff we wish you a wonderful summer holiday filled with fun and rest, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Hellings on Tuesday, September 8th!

IN THE COMMUNITY:
City of Delta Launches New Public Alert System
The City of Delta has announced the launch of Alertable, its new public alert system, designed to provide Delta residents, businesses, and visitors with timely information during emergencies and critical incidents.
Emergencies can happen at any time, and this new system will help keep Delta connected and informed through alerts delivered directly to personal devices, via text, email, phone, or mobile app. Registration for the new system is free, and anyone who spends time in Delta is encouraged to sign up today at delta.ca/Alerts.
Fraser Health Survey
Fraser Health is keen to learn from families about their experience in trying to access same day care (e.g. Primary Care, Urgent Care, etc.) and has a 5-minute survey available. Please see the attached poster for more information and a link to the survey.
Family Smart Events:
FamilySmart knows that summer can feel like a lot. Changes in routine, less structure, and navigating the day-to-day can bring added challenges for families. FamilySmart will continue to offer a selection of free online and in-person events for families over the summer. These events are aimed at sharing experiences and strategies that help in the hard moments and focus on strengthening understanding and connection with kids.
