Hyland Heights News for May 20th
Happy Long Week Hawk Families!
We want to remind all of our families that we will see everyone back at school on Tuesday, May 24th at 850am. We hope you have a wonderful long weekend filled with fun and rest.
Just a reminder that grade seven and eight students are the only students who are allowed to leave school property for lunch. They must, however, have permission from a parent/guardian to do so. All other students in grades K-6 must stay on property for lunch.
Reminders:
Grade 6/7/8 Summer Learning Opportunity:
Upper Grand DSB offers Grade 6, 7, and 8 students requiring additional support with the Ontario curriculum, particularly in the areas of Literacy and Numeracy, an opportunity to participate in an 8-day non-credit remediation program.
The program is intended for students whose achievement of expectations in Grade 6, 7or 8 Language and/or Mathematics indicates that they are likely to experience difficulty in the next school year. Students who are achieving a Level 2 or below in Language and/or Mathematics at their grade level, and are recommended by their Principal, are eligible to participate in the program. Parents of Grade 6, 7, and 8 can contact their home school to indicate their interest in the program. Please contact your child’s teacher first to see if they will be a good fit and then Mrs. Papavasiliou will call you to register your child.
These support programs are half-day in length so it is possible for students to participate in both the literacy and the numeracy support program. Session Dates: Tuesday, July 5th – Thursday, July 14th, 2022. Literacy and Numeracy support programs are being offered at John F Ross CVI (Guelph) or Grant Evans Education Centre (Orangeville). All programs are dependent on sufficient enrolment. Transportation is not provided.

COVID Screening Tool & Mask Guidance:
The Ministry provides COVID-19 guidance; the best and most current information is embedded within the screening tool. The tool also accounts for individuals who tested positive in the last 90 days, who have traveled etc. COVID 19 School Screening
Highlights to current changes:
Masking is now no longer required, but encouraged by the UGDSB. There are exceptions for a few specific circumstances. Please ensure that your child wears a mask if they fall into the following groups:
- For 6-10 days after a self-isolation period of five days after having COVID-19
- If you are identified as a close contact of someone with COVID-19
- In public spaces, including schools and child cares, for the first 14 days
Please continue to use the COVID Screening tool daily before your child attends school https://covid-19.ontario.ca/school-screening/ . It will continue to be important for students with illness of any kind to remain home while they have symptoms.
