IT'S BACK!!! Mrs. Grinde is putitng on a Christmas play production and we are so excited!! This is an extra-curricular event for her & the students...meaning the rehearsals are all after school. Our entire school does not particiapte, it is for kids who chose to sign up. We invite the entire community to come out and be blown away by the talent we have at HET.

We use Munch a Lunch, an online order & payment site. You will need to set up an account (if you don't already have one) and order & pay (at the time of ordering) with a credit card.

Lunch days are Tuesday & Thursdays.

If your child does not have a lock on his/her locker, the phone can be locked in the offfice.

Last week Peace Wapiti's Indigenous Education Services team installed a new Ever Active regulation path for students at Helen E. Taylor. This path encourages physical activity to support both health and academic outcomes. What is unique about this path is that it has been "Indigenized", meaning that it also provides education about Indigenous peoples and cultures. We invite you to check it out during your next visit!

Get the app to keep up to date with your bus' status.

If/when all Wembley buses are cancelled, this includes the BRHS transfer buses for Grades 10-12.

We are looking for a new piano teacher to offer lessons at HET. If you know of someone, send them our way.
