The HPEDSB Parent Involvement Committee will meet on Thursday Oct 26 at 6pm - Parents from the Centre Hastings area are welcome to join through video confencing at CHSS.

The Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) is a formal structure and an important advisory body, established in accordance with Ontario Regulation 612/00 and Board Policy 11-K: Parent Involvement Committee. The purpose of the PIC is to support, encourage and enhance parent engagement at the board level in order to improve student achievement and well-being. The PIC does this by providing information and advice to the Board on parent engagement, communicating with and supporting school councils and undertaking activities to help parents support their children’s learning.

Fixing the Sled

Students in Mr. Ross's Manufacturing class have been working together to repair a damaged football sled. During the winter, the snowplow struck the sled and caused a severe misalignment. Today Mr. Ross helped the students create a jig to guide the metal as they heated and bent it back into place.

Learning Commons

We had an action packed day in the Learning Commons today. We had several classes complete work in the morning, our new whiteboard delivered, and we ran a successful Google Read and Write Session with Ms. Saunders’ class. The day ended with us hanging the first artwork  in the LC, created by Ms. Chalmers’ PLP class. The class posed with their art and played two digital breakout games. A great day overall.
