Dear Families,

We are writing to inform you that our school will be holding a secure schools protocol drill on Thursday, October 21st, so that staff and students are prepared in case of an emergency.

Along with the information being shared with our students at school, we encourage parents to talk with their children about the need to always be prepared. A good starting point – sometimes we go out of buildings for safety and sometimes we stay in buildings for safety.  It is also important that we all remain aware of secure schools terminology used in all of Ontario’s publicly funded schools.

You can learn more about HWDSB’s approach to secure schools at

All Emergency Response drills will follow COVID protocols to safeguard the well-being and protection of all students.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the office or your child’s teacher.
