I am and always was a strong advocate for people taking mental health days. when i worked for HRCE i took a lot of them , they tried to book them as sick days and i insisted that they record them as mental health days (I also lost pay as they do not recognize mental health as a health issue) I quit

kind of funny my wife (an LSS with HRCE) has a teacher at one of her schools that she use to babysit when she was a teenager. That made her feel old.

HRCE is no better , this seems to be a province wide failure of the education system Houston and the NSPC party government seem to be ensuring that the kids are not getting an education and will therefore become PC supporters in the future. This is maddening that they are throwing away their future

yeah, i'm not comfortable with it. especially with all HRCE changing their busing policies these year to mean that many many more students are using transit than provided school buses. don't approach minor children at bus stops!

short version:
"eligible" = "all HRCE students grades 7 - 12"
no physical passes will be distributed; they'll be tied to the kids' school email accounts and the passes will be uploaded to their HFXGo account. so you do need a phone and a data plan.

Any other HRCE parents having issues with School Cash Online? I've tried a few times now, and one day it was "unable to process payment" and now today it's "item is sold out" (it's school fees).

Left in limbo adds stress for these families!
They have reverted to the old HRCE policy: eligibility is by distance ie more than 2.4 km for jr/sr high & more than 1.6 km for pp-elementary.
I got into the bus planner website to get status for my teen. (Resetting pw as required takes 48 hours)

I posted on his FB page to ask where the announcement is... and he replied "I will request an update".
So sounds to me like he jumped the gun on saying the student pass program is coming back.

Svaka ti cast! To je jako lijepo i nobl od tebe.
Na srecu, hrce samo kad je bas jako umoran ili prehladjen, inace bih ga vec davno natjerao da ode na pregled i dobije onaj aparat za spavanje.

Viš, meni je baš hrkanje razlog da spavamo u istom krevetu (queen, NE king!) kako bih ga mogla okretati/korigirati čim čujem da počinje disati na usta. Ideja da mi hrče (ili otherwise loše diše) u krevetu na drugom kraju sobe nedosegljivom mojim t-rex ručicama mi je osobni pakao.

I ran into the HRCE school supervisor while at Halifax West High School a couple years ago. Said I had a background in digital and physical security, and that HWHS was an incredibly soft target. Offered to provide info pro bono. Gave me his card and ghosted me ever since. People really don’t care.
