Sabreina Dahab – Fall 2024 Update
Hello Ward 2 family and friends,
I hope the first few months of the 2024-25 school year treated your family well, and your child(ren) had a successful return to HWDSB classrooms and learning spaces.
On Monday September 9, we had the first Board Meeting of the year. I am thrilled to serve the Ward 2 community for another year. Alongside my fellow Trustees, I look forward to seeing the vision, mission and values of the Board progress for another year in support of HWDSB students, staff and families. For those who may be interested, you can find the dates of all Board meetings, as well as a link to our livestream, here.
In support of our Multi-Year Strategic Plan, teams have been working at schools across HWDSB, including gym renovations at Hess Street School, window and door replacements at Central School, and accessibility updates at Bennetto Elementary. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about these or other renovation projects in Ward 2.
As we shift from Fall to Winter in the coming months, I wanted to make sure you know where to find the most up-to-date HWDSB information. I encourage you to subscribe to your child’s school website, follow the Board on Instagram @hwdsb, and look for HWDSB’s monthly NOW@HWDSB newsletter in your email inbox.
And, if you’re looking for a way to support local students, local artists, and experience an entertaining show, a never-before-seen collaboration between Waterdown-based singing groups Harbourtown Sound and A Capella Showcase will be banding together with local students from Young Voices to produce a Holiday Spectacular show on November 30. Part of the proceeds from the show will benefit HWDSB’s charity of choice—the Hamilton Foundation for Student Success—to offer grants to HWDSB students in need from all across the board. For more information, check out this link.
Finally, I know there’s a lot happening here locally and globally, and it can impact the learning environment for your child. Please know that the HWDSB has a list of resources and supports for families. If you are looking for specific support, please reach out to the school principal. If you need any support finding the contact information for the school’s principal, please reach out at [email protected] and I’d be happy to support you in navigating any next steps.
As the year continues, I look forward to hearing about the exciting activities and initiatives taking place in Ward 2 – and I will be back to you with another update in the New Year.
Take care,
Sabreina Dahab
