Principal’s Message

Dear HWW Students, Families and Community members, 

January 24 is UNESCO’s International Day of Education. We acknowledge the role that education plays in the lives of each of our children and across the broader society. Thank you for your ongoing educational partnership.

This Monday, January 27, we will welcome our Grade 9s for Tours of Henry Wise Wood. What a joy to share the opportunities that await our new students who will be coming to Henry Wise Wood next year. We do anticipate continuing to have a CLOSED status for next year. The only reason for transfer will be for IB. We will serve our regular program catchment students and in-area IB applications first, then consider applications from the larger IB catchment area. We continue to be a growing Warrior Family. 

It has been a busy week with exams, credit recovery and writing report cards. We have been so pleased to see so many students taking advantage of the credit recovery opportunities to get things done! Report cards are “live” on January 27.  If you have a question about your student’s mark calculation, please reach out during Appeals time January 27 from 8am-12pm by calling the school or reaching out to your student's teacher directly.

The first day of Semester 2 is Tuesday, January 28. Students can see their schedule on PowerSchool. Warrior Connect teachers remain the same for Semester 2. 

Our exam session is well underway. We are proud of the students as they prioritize a thoughtful and dedicated approach to this exam session. If you are available to support Fuel Your Brain, see the information later in this newsletter for sign up.

Best to the students as they write their remaining exams this week. Go, Warriors!
