Early Dismissal Thursday, June 27th

All schools in the York Region District School Board are committed to improving student achievement and well-being.  On Thursday, June 27, 2024, an early release day will take place to allow elementary 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 Thursday, June 27, 2024 only.  Students will be dismissed early that day at 12:00pm.  Arrangements will be made to ensure that students who are normally bused to and from school will receive transportation at this time.  Families whose children attend after school child care should make appropriate arrangements to address this change in schedule.

Adult Non-Credit English as a Second Language (ESL) Classes

Adult Non-Credit English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are available on an ongoing basis including the summer semester from June 17 to July 26, 2024. Online and in-person classes throughout York Region are available from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. & 6 to 9 p.m.
