School Information and Student Demographics Reporting

All schools in Ontario are required to submit student demographic information for JK-12 students for the Ministry of Education’s reports on school information and student demographics. We are asking parents to submit this information to us by February 24th, 2023 so that our Ministry report is up to date and accurate.  Please complete ONE submission for each child you have enrolled at Havergal College.  The submission form can be found here.  Please direct any questions you have to data.services@havergal.on.ca.  Thank you for helping us complete this important information.

Updating Your Daughter’s Vaccines – TPH is coming to Havergal

On Friday. March 3, nurses from Toronto Public Health will be at Havergal to provide vaccinations to students. This optional catch-up clinic will take place during school hours, and will offer Meningococcal, Hepatitis B and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. These vaccines prevent cancers and meningitis, protect students against serious infections, and are usually offered to students in Grade 7. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, some students did not receive these life saving vaccines, especially those students currently enrolled in Grades 9 and 10.

If your child is missing any doses of these vaccines, they can still catch up! To have your child vaccinated, be sure to complete and return your signed consent form. The consent form must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. Students won’t be able to receive these important vaccines at the school clinic without a signed consent form. On the day of the clinic, we ask that students remember to wear a loose sleeved shirt, eat something before the clinic, and bring a mask. Also bring valid ID or a health card and their yellow immunization card, if available.

Parents and students can review an information package and access the consent form by clicking the links below. Please print the completed consent form, sign it, and have your child bring it to Ms. Danto in room B10 by Wednesday, March 1, 2023. Students will sign up for a time slot on their Veracross page. Sign up details will be communicated directly to the students.
