Hello,
We hope that this blog finds you, your families, and loved ones well.
Normally at this time of year we begin the process to set classrooms for September. However, all schools have been asked to hold off on the process for now as the board investigates the possibility of permanent virtual options for families. This will be a family decision.
Please continue to inform us of any change of address.
And, join and follow the conversation online at #copingcaringconnecting and see how schools are supporting mental health and well-being with their students.
Parents/Guardians, Hodgson Transition Information:
Every year Hodgson welcomes over a third of our students
transitioning from grade 5 to grade 6 from our 4 feeder schools: Davisville
JPS, Eglinton JPS, Maurice Cody JPS and Oriole Park PS. We would normally
host a parent evening and invite our students to attend a transitions event as
well. This year however, public health measures have hindered our normal
process and how we welcome our students into Hodgson Middle School. Our
transitions team is in the process of making a film that will be shared with
our feeder schools and is scheduled to be posted and released the first week of
June. This way families can watch at a time that is convenient for them
and classroom teachers can post on their google classrooms offering students
and caregivers more than one opportunity to watch. Our grade 8 Extended
French class has put together a fantastic virtual tour of the inside of the
school that will also be included. We are anticipating that there will be
many questions as the transition to middle school is both exciting and can
create some anxiousness. We will be asking our feeder school parents to
view our film and direct questions to the administrative team at Hodgson.
We will then formulate answers to those questions and post them on our website
and forward a Q and A to our feeder school principals. Students and
caregivers will also receive a welcome package with all the information needed
for a successful transition to middle school at the end of June. As
always, we are so excited to welcome our incoming grade 6s to Hodgson Middle
school.
