  • Possible School Closure After Upcoming Long Weekend.


    March 31, 2021

    Dear Students, Families and Staff:

    Preparing for the long weekend, please take personal belongings home from school.


    The long weekend is almost here, a welcome break for all. Even so, it will look different this year throughout the province due to COVID-19 social gathering and other limitations, and specifically in Hastings County and Prince Edward County, as ordered by Piotr Oglaza, Medical Officer of Health, on March 29, 2021.

    On Thursday, April 1, 2021, as a precautionary measure, it is recommended that students and staff take home personal effects, including eyeglasses, shoes, and materials required for teaching and learning remotely, such as technology/SEA equipment, before heading out for the long weekend.

    At this time, it is anticipated that students and staff who are currently learning and working inperson will return to school on Tuesday, April 6; however, we want staff and families to be ready and supported if the Ministry of Education and provincial Medical Officer of Health announce a shift to remote learning for all students.

    While this is not intended to cause speculation or added anxiety, our purpose is for students, families and staff to be as prepared as possible after the long weekend. Our hope is that this approach allows everyone to prepare for whatever scenario we may face in the coming days and weeks.

    The Hastings Prince Edward Public Health website has information and several resources about the COVID-19 pandemic.

    We will share updates as information becomes available. Please continue to monitor our social media (@HPEschools), school social media and the local media.

    Thank you for your understanding and support of Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. If you have any questions, or need further clarification, please contact your child’s principal.

    Sincerely,


    Sean Monteith
    Director of Education

Carcillo

Daniel Carcillo is a two-time Stanley Cup champion and mental health advocate.  After winning the 2015 Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks, Daniel retired due to mental health issues in combination with post concussion syndrome.  Since his retirement in 2015, he has become a mental health advocate and speaks openly about his struggles, along with how he overcame them. Ms. Stewart's leadership class will be supporting Mr. Carcillo's talk as we host him during second period on Friday, February 28th.

 
 
 

Attendance 

Regular daily attendance is important. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to be successful in their classes, have a sense of belonging, and remain involved and committed to school.  Make school a priority and come to school rested and ready to learn.  Our dedicated staff at CHSS are waiting for you.   If your child will be absent, please call us at 613-473-4251 to let us know.
