“You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits."

Dear Henry Wise Wood Students, Parent/Guardians, and Community,
Today I would like to draw your particular attention to our upcoming May 19 full school virtual assembly and follow up May 30 and June 6 lunch hour sessions around the issues of consent, sexual assault, reporting and available supports.. This is in response to the two student walkouts this year, during which the students raised concerns and questions about these matters. Our students have gathered in Warrior Voice Cafes to build a supportive response plan. Please see the attached letter for further details. Thank you for your support of our Warrior community and our continued creation of our welcome, safe, caring and respectful learning environment.
