November 26 – Wear a Hat Spirit Day (it could be wacky, warm, or just something you love to wear)

November 27 – PA Day – No classes (Staff participating in training and family communication)

PA Day Information – November 27 has been allocated as a PA Day.  Our staff will be participating in training for part of the day and dedicating the other part of the day to parent/guardian communication.  All meetings will be done remotely via MS Teams.  For those who have used apps such as Zoom, MS Teams is somewhat similar.  Classroom educators will be reaching out to families this week to clarify how they will be structuring the meetings and to make arrangements if requesting a meeting for Friday.

Library Books and School Texts – With the school closure in March, many families were left with school items at home.  If you have come across any unreturned items, please send them back to school over the next few weeks.  We still have quite a few library and classroom books missing and would love to get them back in circulation.

Snow Clearing – With today’s winter blast, we wanted to remind families of the HWDSB snow clearing guidelines.  Snow clearing is a shared responsibility between board staff, contractors and city staff.  Details can be found by following the link below.  Be sure to take your time on wet and snowy mornings even in areas that have been cleared.
