Welcome back from your Principal, Ms. Nicolaides
August 2019
Hello Saltfleet Community,
Go Storm Go! Welcome back to another year at Saltfleet District High School. I hope that you have enjoyed your summer break, relaxing, unwinding and spending time with family and friends.
While this new school year brings some changes to Saltfleet, the administration team at Saltfleet remains the same. I am very fortunate to be working again alongside two amazing Vice Principals – Mr. Mark Harris and Mr. Dan Stepaniuk. Please feel free to seek us out if you require support or assistance with any matter. We will do our best to help you. In addition, we know that your success and well-being are directly connected to you becoming a high school graduate. Working with our talented and dedicated staff, we all want you to graduate and have many opportunities!
Students return for the first day of the school year on September 3rd. Classes start at 8:05 a.m. Please also make note that picture day is on September 18th. This is also where you will receive your student card.
All of our Grade 9’s will be back to Saltfleet for our Storm Link Day on August 28th for the orientation and BBQ. This is an exciting opportunity as our students prepare for the start of the school year. A big welcome to the future class of 2023! If all goes as planned, our new mascot, Stormy will also by making a first appearance on this day!
The environment we learn in is very important to all of us. It is crucial for all students to feel safe and welcomed. If you come across any issues, please make sure we are made aware so that you are given the best possible chance to succeed in school. Look for some physical changes to the school (lockers freshly painted, refurbished stage in the cafeteria, a new hydration station on the 2nd floor, new wall ovens & refrigerator in the family studies kitchen/classroom, new furniture in the library/learning commons to name a few), with more to come throughout this year as our science labs and our outdoor track/playing field will be under active renovation when you return to school. The science labs are slated to be completed by December 2019 and our field will be available for use in Spring 2020.
Parents/Guardians/Caregivers are invited to attend our monthly School Council Meetings in our Library/Learning Commons, starting at 7:00 p.m. Our first meeting is scheduled for September 17th. We are currently working on posting all our meeting dates on our school website, so please check it out. We value our partnerships with parents and the Saltfleet community. All are welcome!
As the Principal at Salfleet, I will continue to be one of the biggest cheerleaders of our students and staff. Please feel free to follow me on Twitter, @CNicHWDSB or @SaltfleetHWDSB, where I will celebrate our successes and showcase to the community, what a great place Saltfleet is!
On behalf of Mr. Harris and Mr. Stepaniuk, we wish you a wonderful start to the school year. Remember that the passion and pride we see within all of you is very infectious. I look forward to seeing everyone and I am committed to continue to make Saltfleet, the most fantastic place to be.
Best wishes to all of you!
