Student Census

The HDSB is conducting a Student Census throughout the winter of 2021 as required by the Anti-Racism Act, 2017 and Ontario’s Education Equity Action Plan. Students in Grade 4 - 12 will complete the electronic census independently during provided class time. For students in Kindergarten to Grade 3, parent(s)/guardian(s) will complete the census on behalf of their child.

It is important that the Student Census reflects the voices of all students, therefore the more responses we receive, the more effective the data will be to help inform and improve programming and learning environments. The Student Census is voluntary and students and parents/guardians can skip any question they do not want to answer. If you have concerns about your child’s participation, please email studentcensus@hdsb.ca.

For additional information, please view the recording of the virtual HDSB Student Census Information Session held on Dec. 8, 2020 as well as the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the Student Census webpage for detailed information.

Please be advised that Pineland Public School is currently closed due to the Province of Ontario four-week province-wide shutdown. School will reopen to in-person learners on Monday, January 11 2021. We are working remotely and staff can be reached by email.

For information on the Ontario school closure, please visit: https://hdsb.ca/students/Pages/Health%20and%20Well-Being/COVID-19.aspx

If you are new to the Halton District School Board and wish to register your child(ren) for school, please visit: https://hdsb.ca/parents/Pages/Register-My-Child-for-School.aspx

While in-person schools are closed, we encourage families to continue to check for updates from us and the HDSB through email (SchoolMessenger), www.hdsb.ca, and the Board’s social media pages (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram).

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

In Partnership,

Pineland Public School Staff

Due to Covid 19 we will not be having a school wide Terry Fox event this year.

In its place we have added a series of Terry Fox videos to the morning announcements. for the week of September 28th to October 2nd.

2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope.

The Tuesday video is a What's Your 40 Challenge which classroom teachers may choose to participate in. We wanted to give teachers a heads up before the Tuesday announcement.

It’s the 40th Anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope and we are excited to launch “What’s Your 40?” classroom/individual based Terry activities, to help you celebrate safely and have fun. Choose any fun activity from the suggestions below or create your own from our full list of suggestions here. You can even get a friendly classroom competition going by printing out a “What’s Your 40?” poster to show everyone walking by your activity.
