Academic and Mental Health Support for Students
THUNDER BAY – As the efforts to end the stream of threats against Hammarskjold High School continue. Teachers and staff at Hammarskjold High School are taking pro-active action to ensure students can keep on on their classes.
Academic Support for Hammarskjold
Hammarskjold High School staff have been posting materials, lessons and other activities online to support students who have missed class due to school closures.
The efforts if maintained can likely benefit students who after this current problem is resolved, who are home with an illness or when winter weather causes school closures.
Students can log in to two online portals, Edsby and Classroom Websites, both of which are linked from our main page under the Students panel at www.lakeheadschools.ca

Password – the first initials of the first and last name, followed by a dash, followed by the last six numbers of the student number.
