Weekly News at Mary Hopkins – March 30

We hope that all Mary Hopkins families are doing well.  The students are on our minds and we miss them greatly.

Although the school closure continues, our staff are back at work. Our focus over the past week and next is on reconnecting with families, establishing work-from-home spaces and identifying technology capacity.

By the end of the week, students and families can expect to hear from a school staff member in order to gather an inventory of students and families that may not have access to a digital device and the internet.  Families are also welcome to reach out to staff via email or school phone. Both means of communication will be monitored regularly.

To better understand what to expect next as we move to the next phase of learning, please review the HWDSB letter distributed on March 26.
