We wish all students, staff and families a fun and relaxing summer! School offices reopen Monday, Aug. 18. The first day of school for students is Wednesday, Sept. 3.
Halton Food for Thought (HFFT) is dedicated to feeding the success of our students, one healthy, happy student tummy at a time.
In partnership with the school boards and our community, HFFT is the sole provider of Student Nutrition Programs in schools across Halton Region.
Student Nutrition Programs include nutritious meals and snacks and are available before or during school hours at no cost. These programs are a safe and reliable source of healthy food and are open to all students in a school’s community from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12. Halton Food for Thought believes that through the provision of healthy food, every student has the best chance at success.
We want all children to reach their full potential and lead healthy, active lives.
To help support student success, please consider volunteering with, or donating to Halton Food for Thought.

On Professional Activity (PA) days, staff engage in professional development. Our school, along with all schools in the Halton District School Board (HDSB) have several Professional Activity (PA) Days throughout the school year. The purpose of these days is to enhance student success. Staff focus on professional development activities, participate in training or planning sessions. There are no classes for students on these days.
To learn about what schools across the HDSB are focusing on during each PA Day, visit HDSB PA Days 2024-2025
For a detailed description of what our school will be focusing on please see the following information.
Topic: Provincial Education Priorities - Keeping Schools Safe and School Resource Officer Program

Description: School teams will review policy requirements and supports for safe schools regarding the Provincial Code of Conduct, violence prevention, violent incident reporting and debriefing, gender-based violence and the Provincial Model for a Local Police/School Board Protocol. The content will include the role of police in providing high-quality, age-appropriate educational public safety presentations to students on subjects such as cybercrime, human trafficking, road safety and more.
