October 2025

Dear Wolverine Families,

It was great to see so many people come to our Open House last night! Thank you for visiting your child’s learning spaces and taking the time to let them show you their samples of learning, introduce you to their friends and their educators. We hope you’ll consider coming back next Monday (Oct 6th) for School Council at 6pm.

We currently have Flag Football, Cross Country, Colouring Club, Green Team and Choir underway. The Assembly Team led their first Character Recognition Assembly this morning and several students were recognized for their commitment to character. Keep demonstrating kindness, empathy, responsibility and respect!

If you would like to order Wolverine Spirit Wear – orders can be placed at https://harrietttoddpublicschool.entripyshops.com. There is a wide range of products and colours available. Show your school spirit and grab some HT gear!

Every year we practice drills for emergency situations. This Friday, October 3rd, we are going to practice our Hold & Secure, Lockdown, Tornado and Fire Drill. We will be practicing them toward the end of the day.
