Grade 7 & 8 Information Nights
Grade 7 & 8 Information Nights!
Take your time to plan, with your family, so that you can work toward the pathway that will be best for you. At HWDSB, we believe in you, and in the ability of our staff to support you. We look forward to seeing you!
In November and December of 2022, Grade 7 and 8 students and families visited their future secondary schools for the first round of school-based sessions . HWDSB also hosted a system-wide ‘Getting Ready for High School’ virtual information session that shared details about the transition to Grade 9. A recording is included below the chart, and you can also click this link to read responses to frequently asked questions (FAQs) from the event.
Information nights for specialty programs also took place in November. Details about the Audition-Based Arts Program (Glendale), Self-Paced/Self-Directed Programming (Westmount), and French Immersion (Sherwood and Westdale) can be found on their respective webpages.
In January and February of 2023, Grade 7 and 8 students and families are invited back to their future secondary schools for an important information session. This time, school staff will be sharing details about option sheets and the course selection process that begins in February.
You can use the School Locator to determine your home secondary school and explore the chart below for details about your information night.
