Principal’s Welcome Message (September 2018)
Hello Saltfleet Community,
Go Storm Go! Welcome back to another year at Saltfleet District High School. I hope that you have enjoyed your summer break, relaxing, unwinding and spending time with family and friends.
This new school year brings some changes to Saltfleet. I am very fortunate to be working alongside two amazing Vice Principals – Mr. Mark Harris and Mr. Dan Stepaniuk. Please feel free to seek us out if you require support or assistance with any matter. We will do our best to help you. In addition, we know that your success and well-being are directly connected to you becoming a high school graduate. Working with our talented and dedicated staff, we all want you to graduate and have many opportunities!
Students return for the first day of the school year on September 4th. Classes start at 8:05 a.m. Please also make note that picture day is on September 19th. This is also where you will receive your student card.
All of our Grade 9’s will be back to Saltfleet for our Storm Link Day on August 29th for the orientation and BBQ. This is an exciting opportunity as our students prepare for the start of the school year. A big welcome to the future class of 2022!
The environment we learn in is very important to all of us. It is crucial for all students to feel safe and welcomed. If you come across any issues, please make sure we are made aware so that you are given the best possible chance to succeed in school. Look for some minor physical changes to the school (new sinks in the main floor washrooms, new tables & chairs in the cafeteria to name a couple), with more to come throughout this year.
Parents/Guardians/Caregivers are invited to attend our monthly School Council Meetings in our Library/Learning Commons, starting at 7:00 p.m. Our first meeting is scheduled for September 18th. Check out our school website for all our meeting dates. We value our partnerships with parents and the Saltfleet community. All are welcome!
As the Principal at Salfleet, I will continue to be one of the biggest cheerleaders of our students and staff. Please feel free to follow me on Twitter, @CNicHWDSB or @SaltfleetHWDSB, where I will celebrate our successes and showcase to the community, what a great place Saltfleet is!
On behalf of Mr. Harris and Mr. Stepaniuk, we wish you a wonderful start to the school year. Remember that the passion and pride we see within all of you is very infectious. I look forward to seeing everyone and I am committed to continue to make Saltfleet, the most fantastic place to be.
Best wishes to all of you!
Christine Nicolaides
