the english curriculum is a waste of time, no teachers know how to teach it properly and shakespeare is getting old and boring

It oks. But its not that good. :( They do not have much activites due to their budget. Our halloween fair, the one that we host every year, is cancelled due to our budget. It was so much fun and the school also made so much money off of it. It was a way to bring families together. Also , they are trying to stop bullying, but they are hippocrits themselves, when bullying activies like choking each other is happing around school , and they say '' oh, were stoping it.'' Also, we order from pizza pizza , you should check my review on that. Our school is the 2nd best / in our opinion best rescouce rescuer team. Our school is good though! Its just the board thats not that good.

Hwcdsb's school are destroying creativity & being intellectually abusive to (some) students! these schools think that TESTS will tell a students future, also why do they teach the SAME thing to students every year & more Everyone haves different ability's & skills. And why do schhools only judge on how smart anyone is!?

The waterfront area in Hamilton is amazing,it let's U see a very Beautiful side of Hamilton that is not well known 2outsiders.

The board is well put together and they know what there doing they treat everybody the same and every school the same

REPORTING LIVE IT S CHOP! I m going to give this a 5/5 because Miss Lenjosek is the best teacher to exist in the planet because you already know who it is..Starts with a D then a A. A chiefs kiss.

The schools are great and all and they do a good job at opening new schools, but this new rule how now they are banning outside electronics similarly to how restaurants ban outside food has really messed up how teachers and students learn and teach. I mean it makes sense but I think it would be better to just ease the schools into this new rule instead of just suddenly saying that no one is allowed electronics, especially since last year students and teachers were allowed to use electronics in there teaching/learning experience.

When you look at the fact nurses are getting their vacations ripped away and are forced to work due to the pandemic to meet the needs of the public i wonder how you enjoyed your 2 weeks off and decided to start figuring out how to go about online learning on the Monday AFTER the Christmas break rather than BEFORE or even ONE day sooner... that would make too much sense.

I have wasted my entire day screwing around with acrashed site and misinformation since the teachers are just figuring things out AFTER the break when they KNEW this was likely to happen. Nobody above them prepared for this... its left to last minute. This pandemic started almost a year ago and there's been plenty of time to prepare and anticipate the worst... maybe you should hire the people Higher up in healthcare to manage your organization so you understand how to be prepared when people depend on you!!!

The disorganization, and lack of planning is strongly evident. I'm happy to hear you got a nice two week break where you didn't have to think about work. Now hundreds of people who work for a living and have multiple children get to pay the price.

This rating is based on the registraton process for summer school
Registration was open from 8am. So at 8 am tried to register for a course. Received notification that it was not open yet. Tried for 15 min non stop. Then at 8:16 am, finally opened up only to be told the course was full an we were placed on a wait list!!! How is this possible to fill up in less than a minute of being open for registration. Ridiculous process. Now we are in limbo and this course is a needed in order to take another course during the next school year. How long are we supposed to wait? Causing nothing more than stress and anxiety to my child. We have enough to deal with already.

Last year St Brigid was a terrific school.This year not so much. Changing the name to St Patrick's was freaking useless especially considering they are supposedly rebuilding St Patrick's. The transfer of the principal and the replacement with the "interim principal" was a big mistake. This "interim principal" has banned the kids from being dropped off in the playground and they now are herded to the front of the school where it is very dangerous and unsafe with all the traffic and people trying to drop thier kids off. Parents have also been banned from entering the school. The way it was done was abrupt and quite rude. She also has an issue with phoning people's ex spouses and trying to create tension on home fronts when she does not like the parent with custody. Accusing parents of lying, and harassing them with mutiple phone calls which are unwarranted.
Also these consent forms they expect you to sign when they bring your child off property. READ them and they actually state they are not responsible for your childs well being and absolve the teachers from any responsibility for injury, frost bite, sun stroke, death... all totally controllable conditions. This school has become a freaking joke. 3 seperate instances this year had to be escalated to the school board by myself alone. Pathetic.
