Deadline to Change Delivery Model for Elementary Students

Grade 9 Take Our Kids to Work Day
October 20, 2020The organizers of this event are doing their best to provide a virtual version of this traditional grade 9 event. It includes guest speakers and videos. It falls on Wednesday, November 4, 2020. HDSB will not be encouraging grade 9s to stay home and find a virtual placement for the day. The condensed quadmester timelines, the overlap of grade 9 Math EQAO and the inability to guarantee placements for all students means that classes may choose to participate in the various segments offered throughout the day. More information on this year’s virtual TOKTW 2020 can be found by visiting: The Learning Partnership.
Deadline to Change Delivery Model for Secondary Students
October 7, 2020Families of secondary students (Grade 9-12) who would like to switch learning models (i.e., in-person to virtual or virtual to in-person) effective November 13, must complete the Change in Delivery Model Form.

Break the Stigma
Bell Let's Talk Day: Wednesday, January 29th
It’s not always easy to tell others that your child has challenges managing their thoughts or feelings. And it might not be easy for your child to express that either. Even though it is normal for people of any age to experience these challenges, our culture has told us we need to fear them. In this video ... https://childrenscolorado.org/stigma

Concussion Protocol
Results of Medical Examination
In the event of a head injury, school staff will use a quick reference tool (at the time of incident) to help identify a suspected concussion and to communicate this information to a parent/guardian. However, concussion symptoms can occur later within a 24 hour period. Therefore, the C3 - Documentation of Monitoring/Medical Examination Form must be signed and returned after the 24 hour monitoring period/medical examination upon your child's return.
Diagnosed Concussion?
If your child has been diagnosed with a concussion, the C4 - Documentation for a Diagnosed Concussion form should be used by parents/guardians to communicate the child’s progress through the plan.
Further concussion protocol information and resources can be found HERE.
What immunizations (shots, vaccines, needles) does your child need for school?
Refer to the Halton Region Health Department and the Ontario Immunization Schedule for the immunizations (shots, vaccines, needles) needed for school.
Report your child's immunization records
It's your responsibility to report your child's updated immunization records to the Halton Region Public Health Department. Your healthcare provider does not report these records for you. ONLINE REPORTING
