Update on New Nash Elementary School
Dear Tapleytown Elementary School Families,
In keeping with our commitment to transparency and ensuring the community remains informed, we want to provide an update on recent changes to the New Nash school development.
In December 2023, the HWDSB Board of Trustees paused the new school build in Stoney Creek to allow staff to carefully investigate the changing conditions related to the activity at the GFL Regional Facility. In October 2024, Trustees approved moving forward with the new school build at the originally identified site.
Based on recent Ministry of Education direction, HWDSB will no longer be moving forward with building the new elementary school at the proposed location – 399 First Road West, Stoney Creek.
It is important to share that HWDSB will be sourcing a new property for this school, which will service the same geographical area.
We recognize how important this school build is to the community. It is also a priority for our school board. HWDSB staff will attend an upcoming School Council meeting to answer any questions you may have.
We will continue to keep you informed as this process moves forward. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time as we work to make the best decision for HWDSB students and communities.

Paul Denomme
