DIPLOMA PACKAGE PICK UP
All diploma packages will be available for pick up starting the first week of July. Diploma packages will contain O.S.S.D's, transcripts, report cards, Ontario Scholar certificates, SHSM certificates, awards, class photo composites.
Please Note: Diplomas cannot be mailed and must be picked up in person. If you cannot pick up your own package, please advise the main office who has permission to do so on your behalf.
POST-TAB CONTACT INFO
All graduating students will lose access to their HDSB email at the end of the year. It is important that we have another contact email through which to contact you after you leave TAB. (Yearbook pick up, diploma package pick up, scholarship info, textbook return, lost item info etc.)
For this reason, in the spring, we sent out a google form to all the potential graduates asking you to let us know whether you would be returning in the fall and to share an alternate email if you would be leaving. Also to provide the name of anyone who you would like to be permitted to pick up your diploma package on your behalf. Please click on this link to fill out the POST-TAB CONTACT INFO google form or click on the QR code.➡️
As of July 12, 2025 students who are not returning for the 2025-2026 school year, including those graduating from the HDSB, will lose access to the HDSB Network & Google Workspace for Education applications, data, and email. Note that this includes both Gmail and Drive.
IMPORTANT: If you have used your HDSB email when applying for post secondary, resume development, job applications, etc. you will need to update your information and change it to a personal email address before access to your HDSB account is lost.
To retain your Google Workspace data please see one of the options below:
Transfer email and Drive files to a personal Google Account using Transfer Your Content - see Transfer their content
Personal Gmail accounts only have 15 GB free drive space
All files in your My Drive will count toward your quota
Archive data using Google Takeout
The traditional Takeout is also available to create an archive of all their data in Google Workspace.
This will enable you to easily retain your email, essays, resumes, science projects, and any other files stored on Google Drive before access has been removed to your HDSB account.
This must be completed before July 12, 2025.
If you require further information or assistance, please ask a staff member at your school to open a TOPdesk request.
This presentation was given to parents on September 28th and to all the Grade 12 classes in the first week of October.
