GLH will have student locker contents in tagged bags available for pickup Thursday, April 16 and Friday, April 17 from 9 am -12 pm. Students/parents can drive up near the back paved ramp at the NW exit in the gymnasium to pick up. Our EA staff will be there each of the two mornings to place the bag outside the gym therefore abiding with social distancing requirements. No students will be entering the gym at all; they take their bag from the paved ramp and leave.

In our continued effort to support families during these difficult times, the MVSD Student Services Team has launched a HELP Line for parents/guardians. The HELP Line provides support for stress management, coping skills, and advice on how to talk with your children about COVID-19. Our clinicians can also provide parents/guardians with guidance on how to support their children during the suspension of classes and connect families with the appropriate school team members.

We will continue to post updates regarding COVID-19 implications on the website at www.mvsd.ca and via social media. You may reach the school division at 204-638-3001 or [email protected].

This week many of our MVSD staff have been working on a community-building wellness project - check out their video by clicking on the above link! During this process, staff were able to practice their tech skills in video production, Office 365 collaboration and OneDrive file management. Great job! We're all in this together!

Use of playground equipment is prohibited at this time to limit the spread of COVID-19. We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to use nearby greenspaces.
