The following is the Re-entry plan for Hazelton Secondary School students. These rules are based off Dr. Bonnie Henry of the provincial health office and the ministry’s safety protocols. Regardless of personal beliefs, we ask that you respect the rights of others and follow the physical distancing rules as laid out by Dr. Henry and the ministry. At HSS, we take our students’ and staff’s safety very seriously. Failure to follow these rules will result in students being sent home where they will continue their learning remotely.
