HWDSB Needs Community Help to Name Two New Elementary Schools
Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) wants to hear from the Hamilton community in selecting names for the following elementary schools:
- New School on the Glen Campus site
- School on the Collegiate Ave. site
When a new project results from a consolidation, planning is required for school closures, boundary reviews, naming of new schools, and transition planning. When the project is a result of growth or boundary reviews, naming of schools and transition planning may also be required.
Suggested names should:
- Reflect HWDSB’s vision, mission, commitments and community composition;
- Provide inspiration to students;
- Have community and district acceptance;
- Be appropriate for the whole district;
- Have local community, district, provincial, Canadian or international significance; and
- Where appropriate and possible, address underrepresented groups.
Submissions, including the rationale for the name of the school, must be received by 4 p.m. on Thursday, January 14, 2021. Name submissions may be submitted online at hwdsb.info/schoolnaming, or can be sent by mail to: Hamilton‐Wentworth District School Board, ATTN: Research Specialist (Research & Analytics Department), P.O Box 2558 Hamilton, ON, L8N 3L1
