Good afternoon Humberside returning, new students and families,
Welcome to the 2026-2027 Academic School Year! The HCI staff is looking forward to welcoming students on the first day of school, Tuesday September 8th, 2026. We will be following a Regular Day 2 Schedule. Below you will find important information as you plan for the return to school. Each Friday I will send the community a bulletin that highlights upcoming events, celebrates school accomplishments and provides the information you need to stay connected. More detailed information will be included in next week's bulletin.
Until then, we hope you hold onto the final few weeks of summer with family and friends!

A Message from HCI Guidance

Students may request a guidance appointment to withdraw or make a course change if:
- Students have an incomplete timetable
- Students completed summer school and need to make a change as a result
- Grade 12 students with 24 earned credits wish to request a spare

- Level Changes
Course Requests Changes WILL NOT be accepted for:
- Preference of course i.e. one elective course for another

From Tuesday, September 8th - Friday, September 11th, students who would like to book a guidance appointment will go to the Library before school, during Lunch, and after school to see a Guidance Counsellor to request the booking.
Students MUST follow their current timetable while they are waiting for their request to be processed.
