From the Director's Desk: June Edition

Dear HWDSB Community,  

June is a meaningful month for many reasons. It marks the beginning of the last instructional month for the 2025-2026 school year, bringing with it a season of transition, achievement, and new beginnings. It also marks the beginning of Pride Month, a time to celebrate 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, as well as Ontario Day, when we reflect on what it means to call this province home.

Memorial's Scholastic book fair was a big success this week. We sold over $3,500 worth of books and items. The money fundraised through this event will go directly back into the Memorial school library. Through student and staff feedback we will purchase popular books to add to our collection. 

Thank you to all families who were able to support the Scholastic book fair!

New HWDSB Websites: Coming Soon!

Dear HWDSB Community,

We are excited to share that new websites are coming for our school board and all 93 HWDSB schools the first week of May. These refreshed sites are designed to be easier to use, more accessible, and make it simpler for families to find the information they need. This work is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance how we share information, connect, and collaborate with families, staff, and communities across the system.
