SUMMER SCHOOL 2025 RE-OPENs APRIL 1ST

  • HWDSB’s summer school registration reopens on April 1

    • Applications for July 2025 were open during the following dates:
      • January 7 – 29, 2025 (myBlueprint)
      • February 3 – 21, 2025 (myBlueprint)
      • April 1  – June 27, 2025 (TBD)
  • Students up until now registered for summer school through myBlueprint
  • Students who don’t select summer school in myBlueprint by the  deadline can still register directly through Continuing Education from April 1 – June 27, 2025
    • Students who register directly through Continuing Education will not be guaranteed a replacement course of their choice (it might be full)
      • Example: a student decides to register for CHC2D1 (Grade 10 History) on May 1st through Continuing Education instead of myBlueprint in order to make room for AVI2O1 (Grade 10 Visual Art). The Art course might be full and your counsellor will advise you to choose something else or ask you to stay with CHC2D1

Timetable Support for Semester Two *Closed*

If you require a timetable change due to one of the reasons below, please log into your HWDSB account and follow this survey link.

Reasons for semester two timetable support requests:

  • failed a semester one course
  • missing a pre-requisite for graduation
  • missing a pre-requisite for your pathway (apprenticeship, college, or university)

NOTE:

We are pleased to announce that we have processed nearly 1000 timetable changes since last year’s original course option process. We are confident that most students have everything they need to graduate and pursue their preferred pathways. We are not inviting students to request timetable changes for the following reasons:

  • a different teacher
  • the same class but at a different time
  • the same class but via e-Learning
  • a change of heart with respect to an elective (i.e. drop Art, add Drama)

NOTES ON E-LEARNING:

  • All e-Learning classes are closed for semester two

Repertoire Music

Students who choose to participate in Concert Band are encouraged to register for Repertoire (AMR1O1, AMR2O1, AMR3M1, or AMR4M1). Repertoire is an additional course that takes place before the school day. Its’ inclusion allows students the opportunity to earn a 9th credit for their Concert Band activities.
