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.
