Due to the forecast for severe weather in our region & the potential for poor road conditions, all SCDSB schools & facilities, incl. child care centres, will be closed to students & staff tomorrow, Dec. 23. Students may access asynchronous learning through their digital platform.

The final station of the Winter Wonderland event was build a snow person ⛄️. The structure was made by students trained in the wood shop by Ryan Laurin. Ss then decorated them and gave them as gifts to family members 🤗. Happy Holidays Hawks! Andrew Hunter E.S. #scdsbBestKeptSecret MacDonald / Hebbard
