Reaching Out and Looking Forward

Following the announcement from Premier Ford on March 31, 2020 indicating the closure of schools until at least May 4, 2020 for the sake of the health and safety of students, staff and families, your Eastside Secondary School team has put in motion a plan to connect with all students.  Students are asked to please check their Google Classrooms and the @apps.hpedsb.on.ca email accounts for messages from teachers.

Our teachers are anxious to connect with students and to collectively move forward during this unprecedented time in public education.

For further information on HPEDSB's response to COVID-19 please click here.  

Experiential learning students will not attend their Coop/OYAP placements or any Dual Credit Classes at Loyalist College during the school closure. More information is available on the HPEschools website. Follow @HPEschools for updates. 

Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) has been collaborating with partners at all levels of government, acute care and community health care providers, and school communities including HPEDSB to prepare for local cases of COVID-19.  School staff are working hard to ensure that our communities remain healthy, safe spaces for learning and growing.  For further information about steps being taken in HPEDSB schools, please click here.

Hey Ravens!  Semester Two is a great time to re-energize by getting involved in your school community.  Think about sharing your skills by completing your Community Involvement hours.  Make friends and memories by joining a sports team or club.  Open your eyes to new experiences by trying a fun, different extracurricular activity.  There is still lots of time to make the 2019-2020 school year the one that shows off your Raven pride!
