International Day of Pink- Wear Pink
2021-04-08
International Day of Pink is an annual event to raise awareness and commit to ending the spread of bullying, hatred, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and transmisogyny within our schools and our communities.
Day of Pink is always celebrated on the second Wednesday of April, which is April 14, 2021. Unfortunately, this important day for our Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+ students, families, and staff, takes place within the newly created provincial April break.
To continue in the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board’s tradition of raising awareness on Day of Pink, we will be recognizing the date on Thursday, April 8, 2021. HWDSB is also committing to social media awareness over the break on April 14 and encourage you to do so in support of our students, families, and colleagues.
You may notice that we recognize Pink Shirt Day in February and International Day of Pink in April. The days have similar origins, but are distinct: Pink Shirt Day has a general anti-bullying focus, while International Day of Pink focuses on homophobic and transphobic bullying.

Attend our school’s Kindergarten Orientation event!
Spring is an exciting time at our school, as we welcome families and children to Kindergarten Orientation.
Attending an orientation is a great chance to connect with the kindergarten team and to learn more about the kindergarten program.
This year’s event will be virtual but will still give families and children a sense of what to expect in September. We hope that you can attend our Kindergarten Orientation.

The link to join this Microsoft Teams event has been emailed to registered families. Please contact us at paulinejohnson@hwdsb.on.ca to obtain the link.
You do not need to RSVP, but may want to review how to use a Microsoft Teams link if you are new to the platform.
You can also learn more about Kindergarten at HWDSB by visiting our Kindergarten Orientation web page. Here, you will find a video tour of what happens during a typical day in Kindergarten, a narrated video based on the presentation schools deliver at their events, a video to help families of children with special education needs, and much more.

Orange Shirt Day
2021-09-30
At HWDSB, we respect the longstanding relationships with the local Indigenous communities, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Six Nations of the Grand River. On Thursday, September 30, we wear orange to honour the story of Phyllis Webstad, who in the early 1970s had her orange shirt taken away on her first day at the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) Residential School in British Columbia. The orange shirt is symbolic of how Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their homes, families andcommunities to attend state and church-led schools that stripped them of their culture, language and identity. This created irreversible harm from which many families still suffer. We encourage you to wear orange on Thursday, September 30to honour the children whose lives were lost and the survivors of Residential Schools
