Cole Harbour District High School

Message to Parents

Good evening CHDHS families;
• We are continuing our opening set up.  Many thanks for all the work our school staff and teachers have been doing to get ready.
• When your child arrives on Sept. 8, they will enter via the gym doors to find teachers ready to help them find their class room if they do not know how to find it.
• We will soon have an outdoor class room available for teachers to sign out for use with their classes
• Schedules were emailed to parents and students today. If you did not receive it, please contact the main office. Students will need their schedule when they arrive for quick help from teachers.
• Power School is now open if you do not have access, please contact the main office and speak with our administrative assistant.
• You will notice that students have extended half-day blocks in this years’ schedule to reduce contact and movement and keep our students as safe as possible.
• Before coming to school each day, it is important that parents and guardians use the screening tool, found here, https://novascotia.ca/CoronaVirus/docs/ Daily-COVID-checklist-en.pdf
• Please see the full guide for back to school here:

• A reminder that students cannot share supplies at school and will need to bring their own.  If students forget them, they can see administration or guidance for support getting what they need.
• A reminder that we do not have cafeteria service for the month of September. Students will be provided classroom space to eat during the lunch hour.
• Students leaving the building for the lunch hour must be prepared to return at the bell, as gathering in common areas is not permitted.  Students are expected to go directly to class.

Thank you and have a good evening,

Dunovan Kalberlah
