Our primary responsibility during this labour dispute is to ensure health and safety is maintained for HWDSB students and staff. We know this is a difficult time and we appreciate everyone’s patience.

This means that HWDSB schools will return to in-person learning on Monday, November 21, 2022. In addition to our focus on student achievement, well-being, and safety, we place a high priority on our relationship with staff, including CUPE caretakers and maintenance workers. 2/3

Schools will be OPEN for in-person learning tomorrow, Monday, November 21, 2022. All child care, extra-curricular activities, and rental permits at HWDSB will continue to operate as normal. Read letter from Sheryl Robinson Petrazzini to families: hwdsb.on.ca/blog/labour-up…

Been a while since I’ve tweeted, just a little update. I expanded to a 1.0 role this year at Viola Desmond teaching a 5/6 class. I’ve had the best year imaginable with an incredible group of kids. New Years Resolution? To tweet more coverage of what’s happening in 5/6A!
