Winter Break Message to HWDSB Families
Dear Families,
We are pleased to share holiday greetings with our HWDSB communities.
In 2022, we experienced excitement, challenge, and transition. We continued our focus on improving student achievement and well-being while prioritizing human rights and equity.
We encourage you to read a compilation of stories, achievements, and progress in the 2021-22 Director’s Annual Report to the Community.
The holidays are a time to spread joy! That is why we encourage you to share your joy with us. What brings you joy? Where will you find joy this holiday season? Submit your Joy Story by visiting our new engagement platform: www.engagehwdsb.on.ca.
We are still navigating through the Covid-19 pandemic and also seeing an increase in flu and colds. Please stay connected with all health recommendations from the Hamilton Public Health Services through their updates to help mitigate concern and promote healthy practices.
We also encourage everyone to take care of their mental health. Learn more about services and support at HWDSB We Helps resources.
We are also pleased to share a holiday greeting video from Minister of Education, Stephen Lecce, who sends his appreciation to students, families and staff: Minister Lecce Holiday Greeting.
As we look forward to 2023, we hope that we continue to move from surviving to thriving! Thank you for your participation in your child/ren’s education and for collaborating with HWDSB staff. We are proud to be HWDSB!
Happy Holidays!
Dawn Danko, Chair of the Board
Sheryl Robinson Petrazzini, Director of Education
