Outdoor Play
Time spent outdoors is an integral part of the school day. There are great benefits when children experience fresh air, exercise, and time spent time outside. Outdoor play is also a break from the structure of the classroom. Depending on the season, preparing for outdoor play in Canada can mean anything from applying sunscreen to wearing mittens and a hat. During winter, it is important that children come to school prepared for the cold. Students should wear boots, mittens/gloves, and hats…and it is a good idea to pack extra mittens, socks, etc. in case they are needed. Principals can always use their judgment to decide whether to send students outside for recess and we are following the recommendation that individuals stay inside when the temperature is at or below minus 15 degrees Celsius or minus 20 with wind chill. In addition, parents are also encouraged to go to hamiltonschoolbus.ca to check for any potential transportation delays.
Cancellation of School and Board Operations Due To Inclement Weather
HWDSB Hotline #905.521.2535
The decision to cancel School and Board Administrative Operations is often a difficult call to make. Please be assured that the decision to remain open or to close is always made with the safety and security of our students and staff in mind. School Boards across Ontario have varying polices about the cancellation of schools. At HWDSB, the cancellation of transportation is linked to the cancellation of School and Board Administrative Operations. The cancellation of transportation immediately triggers the closure of our schools. For more information on the Cancellation of School and Board Administrative Operations, please refer to the Board website. And please remember, as a parent/guardian you always have the choice of whether or not to send your child to school.
