MARSHVIEW PS @ CHPS: Marshview Public School will not be ready for opening in September, with a
projected opening for November 2022. This Fall, Marshview Public School will be housed at both Chris
Hadfield Public School (Grades 1-3; 7-8) and WH Day (Kindergarten; Grades 4-6). Marshview Public School
will run as a separate school within the two holding schools, inclusive of their own schedule and recess
breaks. The Chris Hadfield Team welcomes the Marshview staff and students! We look forward to
collaborating and learning together as two wonderful school communities!
RAPID ANTIGEN TESTS: Rapid Antigen tests were distributed to families recently, however, we still have a
limited supply of these tests available in the school. If you would like to request one, please let your child’s
teacher know and we will send some home with them (dependent on availability).
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. 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. Furthermore, we
would ask that our families do not block our neighbour’s driveway when picking up or dropping off students.
We have heard from our By-Law officers who have shared that this has been a growing concern in our
community.
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> | | | |

| Administrative Team Update | http://had.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/275 | Administrative Team Update | <p>May 26th, 2022.
Dear Chris Hadfield Families,</p><p> I am writing to you at this time to share an update about the administrative team at our school.
As I communicated with you this past February, at the end of the school year, I will assume duties as Principal
of South Bradford Elementary School. As a result, Heather Rocca has been appointed as the Principal of Chris
Hadfield Public School for the 2022-2023 school year. Ms. Rocca is an experienced educator and administrator
with Simcoe County District School Board. Currently, she is serving as Principal of Codrington Public School
and is excited to be part of the CHPS community. I know that you will welcome her to our community, the
same way that you welcomed me, five years ago.
To provide some consistency for our school community, Ms. Telesco will remain as Vice Principal of Chris
Hadfield Public School, working alongside Ms. Rocca. Ms. Telesco’s professionalism, relationships with
students, staff and families, along with her passion for education will ensure a smooth transition process.
Furthermore, Mr. Cranston has been appointed Vice Principal of Cookstown Public School. While we
congratulate Mr. Cranston on his new position, we will miss his positive mindset, energy and dedication in
supporting student achievement and well-being. We know how fortunate the Cookstown Public School
Community will be to have Mr. Cranston as part of their team.
These past five years at Chris Hadfield Public School have been some of the best of my professional career.
Working alongside a dedicated staff, hard-working families and wonderful students has been the highlight of
my Chris Hadfield experience. I look forward to continuing to work with this outstanding community in the
weeks ahead as I conclude my leadership at Chris Hadfield Public School.
Thank you,
Robin Dashnay
