We would like to extend a warm welcome to our new and returning students.
The school team at Blue Willow Public School have been busily preparing the school for the return of classes on Tuesday, September 3, 2019. Much effort has been placed on ensuring a smooth start to the school year. Teachers have created welcoming and inviting spaces in their classrooms. The caretaking team has been working diligently all summer long to ensure that the building is just right for the first day of school. The office staff have completed many important administrative tasks necessary for a positive start to the school year.
We would like to take this time to welcome school members new and returning to our school.

A Message from Our Trustee
Hello/Welcome/Bonjour,
As your elected school board trustee for Wards 3 and 4, I
would like to welcome you back from the summer holidays. I hope you had a great
and fun filled summer, with many lasting memories.
As a parent and grandparent, added to my skills from my
former role as Superintendent of Education, and now as your Trustee for the
York Region District School Board, over the last few months I have had the opportunity
to witness, advocate, praise and encourage the achievements and success of the
many students and staff across the system.
I am committed to the educational success of all students
and wish to continue this very vital endeavour. Please be assured that in my
role as trustee I am here to serve all members of the community of Wards 3 and
4 in Vaughan.
I am so pleased to welcome all of our new and returning
families to another school year. As your school board trustee, it is my role to
advocate for quality public education in York Region, and to ensure that our
students remain at the centre of all of our decision making. The Board of Trustees
makes policy
and budget
decisions, and communicates with the public, among other responsibilities.
We are also responsible for setting direction for the school
board, through our Multi-Year
Strategic Plan. This plan sets out four priorities: Foster Well-Being and
Mental Health, Build Collaborative Relationships, Champion Equity and
Inclusivity, and Empower Ethical Leadership.
As we start the new school year, I want to highlight the
importance of relationships. We want to build and maintain relationships with
our families that are built on trust, respect and responsive communication. To
support that, I will continue to keep you informed of our work and priorities,
and I encourage you to contact me if
you have any questions or concerns. You can also find the message
from the Chair of the Board on the Board’s website.
In addition, I invite you to share your feedback on our
Board policies. Policies govern everything from field trips, school volunteers,
equity and inclusive education, student discipline and much more, and we
greatly value input from families on these important matters. We regularly post
on our website the policies
that are under review and available for comment as well as information
about how to share your feedback. I hope you will take a look.
I know school staff are excited to welcome back students,
and I look forward to meeting more of our families throughout the upcoming
school year. I encourage you to build a relationship with the staff members and
community at your school. There are so many different ways to
get involved and support your child’s education. I hope you have a great
start to the school year and wish you a happy, safe and successful year
ahead.
Dr. Elizabeth Sinclair
Trustee, Vaughan Wards 3 and 4
