School Updates
The Ontario Ministry of Education announced that Ontario schools will not return to in-person learning this month. As a result, all HDSB students will continue learning remotely/virtually for the remainder of the school year.
If you are new to the Halton District School Board and wish to register your child(ren) for school, please visit: https://hdsb.ca/parents/Pages/Register-My-Child-for-School.aspx.
We encourage families to continue to check for updates from us and the HDSB through email (SchoolMessenger), www.hdsb.ca, and the Board’s social media pages (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram). Thank you for your patience and understanding.
