    Current EPSB Student Pre-enrolment 2024-25

    Pre-enrol in SchoolZone 

    Get ready for the 2024–25 school year! Sign in to your parent SchoolZone account between February 1 and March 22 to select your child’s preferred school for next year. 

    Whether your child is staying at the same school or changing schools, all students need to pre-enrol. Knowing how many students to expect helps schools prepare to welcome them in September.

    Moved?
    Update your child’s current address with the school office before pre-enrolling in SchoolZone. 

    If you need help, contact the school.

    Monitoring as a Level 2 School

    Soraya Hafez is monitoring as a Level 2 school beginning in the 2024-25 school year. As outlined in Division regulations, the only new students accepted to our school during pre-enrolment will be:

    2. Siblings of current students who will be returning to the school the following year.
    3. There may be some space available in select grades for those students residing in our secondary attendance area (McConachie North).

    If the student you are registering or pre-enrolling meets one of these criteria for the 2024-2025 school year, please register them online (new to EPSB students) or pre-enrol through SchoolZone (existing EPSB students). 

     

    Following Pre-enrolment 

    Following the close of pre-enrolment at 4:00 pm on March 22, 2024, the school will only accept resident students who have newly moved into the attendance area or resident students eligible for Kindergarten from the attendance area (McConachie South).

  • 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

    The Soraya Hafez Fundraising Association is a group of parents that works closely with the School Council and initiates fundraising experiences which support the educational experiences and programming at our school!

Welcome to Soraya Hafez School

At our school, we want to honour our namesake Soraya Hafez for her passion for education by creating an exciting and successful learning environment for students from Kindergarten to Grade 6. We were thrilled to open our doors in September of 2020 and can’t wait to welcome families into our school community for our third year in 2022/2023!

 

 

Principal's Message

As the new 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 will continue to build 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 will continue to 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 look forward to 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 truly looking forward to working alongside the Soraya Hafez learning community!

David Sloan, Principal
