February 1st Update

We made it to February!  Will it be 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring?

February is traditionally the month Canadians look to highlight Black History following a 1995 motion in Parliament. We are working to improve equity and access to opportunity for all marginalized people. To help us in our learning and in some cases, unlearning, we are engaging in a series of lessons centering identity, through Learn, Disrupt, Rebuild @HWDSB. We hope you will participate in discussions with your children as they explore these important topics over the next several weeks.

Kindergarten registrations are now open online. Please visit: www.hwdsb.on.ca/kindergarten.

Balaclava School remains open for out of catchment requests for the 2021-2022 school year. Please visit the link below for an application form and submit it to [email protected] by the March 5th deadline (applications received after this date will be considered in the week of September 13th 2021).

Report cards are being prepared by staff and are expected to go home on February 19th.

School photos that were originally scheduled for this week are being re-scheduled once our return to school timeline is confirmed.

We have been most impressed with the commitment to learning we have seen across our school community. We recognize logging in for classes and screen time have their challenges so please know we appreciate the efforts being made to stay connected with school.

For families who are looking for a little support with Microsoft Teams please follow the link below to a recorded session: https://IT Parent Recording
