THANK YOU FAMILIES FOR JOINING US AT OUR OPEN HOUSE!
Thank you to all families who attended and parent volunteers who worked so diligently on our inaugural Open House held this past Thursday evening (Jan 20th).
We were delighted to see the overwhelming interest in our school and truly enjoyed sharing our holistic approach to education and parent engagement with you.
In case you may have missed it, we’ve posted the Holistic Education Summary handout (PDF) here for you. For those who wanted more information on the Grade 7 curriculum, you can find more details at http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/grade7.html.
Although many families did complete the application form on Thursday evening, an online copy is available for download at www.tdsb.on.ca (PDF). If you would like more information on optional attendance, you can also refer to the TDSB website page.
Just a reminder of the IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINNING SEPT. 2011
- Applications must be received by Friday, 18 February 2011. A lottery, if necessary, will be held the first week in March 2011.
- Parents/guardians will be informed of acceptance or non-acceptance prior to March Break (no later than Friday, 11 March 2011).
- Parents/guardians must inform the requested school of their acceptance of the offer by Friday, 8 April 2011
- No student will be admitted into an elementary school through Optional Attendance after Friday, 6 May 2011.
We will also be hosting an information/welcome night for those who are accepted, so there will be yet another opportunity to ask questions of our teachers.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Warren Huska, our Communications Committee Chair, at warrenhuska(at)gmail.com.
