Student in Distress

January 26, 2022

Dear Families,

There was an incident at our school involving a student in distress. The incident led to a visit by police. In order to protect the privacy of the individual, we are unable to share details.

Some of our students witnessed the situation. At no time was there a threat to the school and all students remained safe.

We want to make you aware of this incident in case your child mentions it to you, or if you wish to have a family conversation about it. To seek help for themselves or for others, students can use the anonymous HWDSB Helps app. Students can text 905‐963‐0066, download the app for iOS and Android, or engage in the web chat at www.hwdsb.on.ca/hwdsbhelps.

We want you to know that student and staff health and safety is of the utmost importance at our school.

If you have any questions, please contact our school at 905-389-1309 or email [email protected].

Sincerely,

Mary Elliott
