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.
