the health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority. As an additional precaution, we continue
to ask that all parents and guardians who are dropping off or picking up students at our school, ensure they
are wearing a mask or face covering. Arrival and dismissal times are very busy, and we would appreciate
that the adults dropping off and picking up students, wear masks for this brief period of time to support all
of our community members’ health and safety. With the recent positive Covid-19 cases in our school, it is
important that we are all vigilant in doing our part. Thank you for your continued support and co-operation. </p><p>PARKING LOT: The entrance coming into our school on West Park Avenue is closed from 9:00 a.m. until 3:45
p.m. This entrance will be used for bussing and Emergency vehicles only during this time. We have had to
make this decision due to the number of vehicles speeding through this area, creating unsafe conditions.
There have also been numerous occasions where people have parked in the fire safety zones preventing
Emergency vehicles from accessing these locations. Visitors can access our parking lot behind the school
using the Miller Park Avenue entrance during school hours. We would ask that parents/guardians please
follow the directions of our staff on duty in the parking lot, before and after school. We are providing
direction in the interest of student safety. We would also ask that our disabled parking spaces are not
blocked. The parking lot continues be closed from 3:20 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. each day to ensure minimal traffic
on school property during dismissal time. We have connected with South Simcoe Police and By-Law officers
who have informed us that they will be monitoring our school neighbourhood regularly during school entry
and exit times.</p><p>
Walking To School: As our school and community continues to grow, traffic congestion within our school
parking lot and surrounding streets is a safety concern for our students and families. Chris Hadfield Public
School is a designated walking school and we would ask that families make a concerted effort to have
students walk to and from school. This would establish healthy routines for students and promote an
environmentally friendly practice. We continue to work with our partners at South Simcoe Police and the
town of Bradford to ensure the safety of all of our community stakeholders. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter.<br></p> | | | |

2022 school year. On the first day of school, students will be assigned tentative classroom placements. Our
current student enrolment continues to grow, so therefore classes will need to be reorganized to balance
out class sizes and adhere to Ministry class sizes. This also allows for the possibility of new classes being
created for September 28th. We also anticipate staffing changes throughout the month of September, so
students and families should be prepared for these changes. Classes will change again in February when
students are able to choose a different learning platform at this time, so the reality of students changing
classes and educators throughout the year is likely. </p><p>September 30th – School Council Meeting (Virtual) at 6:00 p.m. – Details to follow </p><p>Messages: </p><p>CHPS TERRY FOX RUN - Chris Hadfield Public School is proud to take part in this year’s 40th Anniversary of
