Wes Hosford School has an excellent reputation for the exceptional work of its staff and for the hard work and positive attitude shown by its students in all facets of school life.

Principal's Message
Welcome to Wes Hosford School! We invite you to tour our website and get to know our team! The students are very involved in music, art, drama and physical activity. Over the summer we have seen some changes to our physical plant, we invite you to stop by and see our new office set up and some of the other changes we have made.
Although we have had changes to the school building, the biggest change is all the new faces on our staff! We have eight new people on staff working with the students!
We invite you to visit our site on a regular basis to see the exciting events and changes that occur at our school.
Our monthly newsletters will be up on the website the first Friday after the staff meeting and will feature a number of information items, parent council updates as well as the activities that are happening in the school.
We look forward to many exciting events this year!

Inclement Weather Policy/Recesses
Even when the buses are not running, schools are OPEN. Parents of bus students will be notified by the bus driver if the bus will not be running. In the event that buses are not running, parents of bus students do not need to call in as we know your child will be away. However, if parents choose to keep non bus students home, the school must be notified (780-464-1711).
At all other times, if any parent chooses to keep a child at home, the school must be notified. Thank you for helping us to keep our students safe and warm.

In addition to EIPS' Inclement Weather Policy, Wes Hosford School has adopted the following policy regarding outdoor recesses. Should the temperature by itself or with a wind chill reach lower than -20 degrees, students will stay inside for the balance of any recess or lunch break. The school closely monitors the weather in Sherwood Park with aid from a local reporting system. It clearly tells temperature, wind chill and relative humidity. Based on its information we can more efficiently make a judgement about our local weather instead of having to rely on the Edmonton International Airport or the City Centre Airport which are quite a distance away. For more information go to www.sherwoodparkweather.com.
