It is Locker Clean Out Day this Tuesday, June 16th! Time will be given at the end of Period 5 to clean out your locker. Students will have 15 minutes at the end of Period 5, your teacher will excuse you at this time.

Please ensure everything is cleaned out of your locker and that you take your lock with you. All items left in the lockers, including locks, will be disposed of during the summer.

If there are any textbooks or library books to be returned, please bring them to the Library.

Come see us at the Main Office if you have any questions!

Exam Schedule

Final evaluations begin on June 18th and will follow this Final Evaluation Schedule. Please reach out to teachers if you have any questions about the schedule.

Courtesy Seats – 2026/2027 School Year

Annually, under the Halton Student Transportation Services (HSTS) Procedure HS-1-004-Courtesy Seats, households with students not typically eligible for busing may request a courtesy seat for their daily commute.

Submissions for the HSTS online application remain open until 5:00 p.m. on June 30, 2026. To ensure that confirmed students can begin riding on the first day of school in September 2026, HSTS will finalize the review and seat assignments during the summer months.

Transportation Information 2026/27 School Year

Transportation planning is currently underway for September.  HSTS uses a CALL CENTRE to answer phones from mid August until the end of October.  During this time, HSTS staff can be reached directly by school staff via the HSTS confidential staff directory.  All other inquiries from families should be directed to our main HSTS line.  This allows HSTS staff to prioritize school requests.

• Main Line: 905-637-4009

• Toll Free: 1-888-803-8660

If you do call the main line during this time, the Call Centre has been directed to put calls through from school/Board staff.

Please provide them with your name, position and school and ask that they put your call through to HSTS. Or send us an email and HSTS staff will contact you.

The most current school listing by HSTS Transportation Officer by school can also be accessed in the HSTS staff directory found on the School Staff Page on haltonbus.ca.

HLF - Thank a Teacher Campaign

As the school year winds down, the Halton Learning Foundation (HLF) invites families to take part in the ‘Thank a Teacher’ campaign, a meaningful initiative to recognize the incredible contributions of teachers and school staff across HDSB.

Beyond lessons and assignments, students are learning how to be kind, how to persevere, and how to believe in themselves. Much of that learning is made possible by educators who show up in quiet but powerful ways.

It may be the teacher who noticed a student struggling and offered encouragement.

The staff member who made a child feel included.

The educator who stayed a little longer to help something click.

Or a retiring teacher whose years of care have shaped countless lives.

These moments may not always be visible, but they are deeply felt.

Through the Thank a Teacher campaign, you are invited to honour an educator, a staff member, or a retiree with a donation in their name. Your gratitude becomes meaningful support for students in need across our community.

When a gift is made, you can send a personalized card and message to the honoured educator, letting them know someone recognized their compassion and paid it forward.

Honour an educator by visiting thankmyteacher.ca
