Wednesday, June 29th, 2016 - Early Dismissal in Elementary Schools

         All schools in the York Region District School Board are committed to improving student achievement and well-being. On Wednesday, June 29th, 2016, an early release day will take place to allow elementary teachers and support staff to take part in meetings during the afternoon of that day. These meetings will allow for school staff to engage in culminating activities regarding the review and revision of the School’s Improvement Plan as well as year-end and transition activities that support student success.
         As has been our practice in the past, students will attend school during the morning of Wednesday, June 29th, 2016, only. Students will be dismissed early that day at 11:15 a.m. Arrangements will be made to ensure that students who are normally bused to and from school will receive transportation at this time. Parents/guardians whose children attend after school child care should make appropriate arrangements to address this change in schedule.

Mental Health with Michelle Cassidy

On Thursday, May 12, 2016, Michelle Cassidy presented an informative and engaging workshop on Supporting Your Child's Mental Health.  She shared key strategies and practical activities that can be easily applied in our busy lives to help de-stress, reduce anxiety, and remain calm in the moment.

We received such positive parent feedback from this evening's event, that we would like to extend the learning from Michelle Cassidy's presentation by sharing her slides with our school community.
