Parking Lot – Thank you for your patience as we managed the remains of the heavy snowfall from the past week. HWDSB contractors worked over the weekend to improve the parking lot conditions. However, we expect fluctuating temperatures this week, which will cause a cycle of melting and freezing and unpredictable pavement surfaces. Please take your time walking in the parking lot and remind your students to be cautious, especially when walking behind vehicles. For enhanced student safety, please back into a parking spot if possible.

Prom Project Hamilton 2025 – HWDSB is so excited to welcome students to Prom Project Hamilton again this year.
