    Childcare at Soraya Hafez School

    Soraya Hafez YMCA Child Care
    There is a YMCA Child Care right on site for students in Grades 1 to 6 at our school! Children who attend YMCA Child Care are curious about learning, excited about being active and learn how to be leaders in their community.
    The research-backed YMCA curriculum is what sets YMCA Child Care apart. Children are guided to build friendships, explore their community and culture and delve into projects that spark their unique curiosity about the world. Each childcare space is an extension of your child’s family and community, where differences are celebrated. And after sitting in school all day, your child will have lots of opportunity to play outside and participate in active games.
    Exciting and engaging full-day summer programs run throughout July and August for children going into grades 1 to 7! Children spend their summer igniting their creativity, exploring their community and staying active at YMCA Child Care summer programs.

    Hours:
    Monday–Friday | 7am–6pm (before and after school)
    PD Days, School Breaks & Summer Break | 7–6pm (all day)

  • Parent Participation

    Parent Participation

    At Soraya Hafez School we believe that education is a partnership between home and school. Parent involvement is strongly encouraged and appreciated. Parents can:

    • encourage their child to talk about what they have learned and celebrate their achievements.
    • be acquainted with the teacher and other school staff.
    • attend various functions that are held at the school.
    • help with field trips and special events.
    • attend student progress conferences and talk to the teacher when there are questions or concerns.
    • contact the principal if they have a concern or wish to share a special event in the child’s life.
    • attend School Council meetings.

    Parent Council

    The Soraya Hafez School Council gives parents an opportunity to come together to provide support, enhance student learning and to promote the well-being and overall effectiveness of the school community.

    An active School Council facilitates the school/home/community partnership and helps to develop an atmosphere of mutual cooperation through active participation in the school.

    The School Council supports meaningful parental involvement, which we know supports student success!

    Everyone is welcome at monthly meetings so please watch for start up dates in the Fall.

    Soraya Hafez Fundraising Council

Principal's Message

As the principal, I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve the Soraya Hafez School learning community. It is quite a privilege to join such a high performing team, and I am looking forward to all of the exciting opportunities, new relationships and the challenges that lie ahead.

At Soraya Hafez, we are building a culture of kindness, and a place where students feel connected to each other, connected to learning, and also connected to the larger community.

Literacy and numeracy are in strong focus and we provide high quality teaching and learning opportunities. We know that if we can help students become successful in reading, writing, and math they will be successful later in life.

Learning is collaborative and a collective responsibility. We believe in working together and we encourage all our families and the community to support our children’s experience at Soraya Hafez School. So, let’s team up in support of each student reaching their fullest potential.

Once again, I am honored to serve and work alongside the Soraya Hafez learning community!

David Sloan, Principal
