Cafeteria ServicesFor those of you that want order food from the cafeteria, this year we are asking all students to preorder by break time.

You will need to set up an account that will allow you to order and prepay to limit the amount of contact between cafeteria staff and students.

Wellness Practices
Handwashing
- All students will be required to
wash/sanitize their hands each time they enter the building. K-5 students will wash
their hands in their classroom, while 6-12 students will have access to hand
sanitizer in their classrooms. Students are encouraged to carry a small bottle
of hand sanitizer with them for when handwashing is not possible. We will be
providing hand sanitizer in all common areas, as well as the gyms.
Community
Masks – K – 5 students will be
encouraged to wear a community mask when they are inside the school in common
areas or outside of their classroom. 6 – 12 students will be required to wear a
community mask whenever they are outside of their classrooms. K – 8 students
will not be required to wear a community mask while in classrooms. 9 –
12 students will only be required to wear a community mask in a classroom if a
physical distance of 1 meter cannot be maintained.
Students
are encouraged to have more than one community mask, if possible, and it should
be cleaned each evening. Staff will also be required to wear community masks
while in all common areas and when 1 meter of physical distancing (high school)
is not possible. All visitors, with pre-arranged appointments, must wear a
community mask as well while in the school.
Water
Bottles – All students are encouraged
to have their own water bottle, clearly labelled with their name on it.
Students will not have access to water fountains, but will have access to
bottle refill stations in various areas throughout the school.
Washroom
Access – All washrooms at HCS will be
limited to 3 people at a time in order to accommodate the required physical
distancing recommendations. All washrooms will be cleaned at least 3 times per
day.
Cleaning – EECD has agreed to provide schools with extra
custodial time to allow for more frequent cleaning of our schools throughout
the day. All handrails, doorknobs, etc. (high touch areas) will be cleaned throughout
the day at least twice and bathrooms will be cleaned three times per day. High
school students will be asked to clean their desks at the end of each period
before another class enters the room to limit the potential spread of Covid-19.
Younger students will also be asked to keep their desks clean and may help
teachers with the cleaning, if needed.
Symptoms – Parents/guardians
are expected to screen their children each day prior to sending them to school.
If a student is displaying 2 or more symptoms of Covid-19, the student is not
to attend school and you are to call 811 for guidance. If a student displays 2
or more symptoms at school, they will be taken to the health room, be required
to wear a mask and parents/guardians must come to the school immediatel

Student Days @ HCS
K- 5
Students – all K – 5 students will be
attending HCS every day, starting on Thursday, September 10th. On
Tuesday, September 8th half of each class will be attending while
the other half remains at home. On Wednesday, the other half will come to
school and the first group will remain at home. This is to allow teachers
the opportunity to work with students in small groups to go over expectations
and how we will be operating as a school throughout the school year. Teachers
will be contacting all parents in their homerooms to explain the days they
attend the week of August 31st.
A typical day at HCS will start with
students going directly to their homerooms once they get off the bus or are
dropped off (parents will not be entering the building with their child). Once
the student have washed their hands and arranged their items, they can hang
things on their hook. The school day will look the same for the most part, except
students will be eating lunches in their rooms. Half our students will be
outside enjoying recess from 11:30 – 11:55 while the other half are eating.
From 12:00 – 12:25 they will switch. Our K – 5 students will remain together as
a class throughout the day and will not be able to interact with other classes,
this includes at noon recess.

go during their recess time. Our middle school students will remain together as
a class throughout the day and will not be able to interact with other classes.
9 – 12
Students – our high school students’
days will look a little different this year for some of our students. We have
been instructed that high school classes be limited to 17 students max as they
must intermix due to course selections. Our goal is to get as many students as possible
in our building every day. With that goal in mind and the various class sizes,
we have been able to schedule all our grade 12s to be at school every day. Part
of our grade 11s and 10s will be able to attend every day, based on course
selections. The half of the 11s and 10s will be attending every other day. Our
grade 9s will be attending every other day, at this time. Teachers will be
calling each home the week of August 31st to inform parents and
students of their potential schedule. High school students will have a similar
lunch time to previous years but will be required to eat in their rooms and
wear a community face mask whenever they are not eating or physically distanced
from others. Our grade 11s and 12s will be allowed to leave school property as
per normal and grade 10s may, with a written note from home.
Meet the
Teacher - Due to Covid 19
restrictions, we will not be hosting a meet the teacher night, except for our
kindergarten classes. The kindergarten teachers will be contacting their
families to arrange a time for a parent/guardian and the student to come to the
school to meet the teacher and see the building. All homeroom teachers of other
grades will be contacting students/parents to inform them of their homeroom
class and their first day of school.
