Dear Families,
Today, we were shocked and horrified to learn of a tragic homicide in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. We have read media reports about the incident being connected to an after-prom party, it is important that we not speculate or jump to conclusions or make assumptions. We are supporting the efforts of York Regional Police in their investigation and all official information and confirmation will come from them as they conclude this investigation.

Dear Families,
The Ontario government has made a number of announcements that will affect how publicly funded education is delivered in this province and in our board. This includes changes to class sizes, curriculum and Board budgets.
We recognize that you may have questions about what these changes may mean for your children and your family. While we do not have all the answers, we do know that this will have an effect on our Board.

As you may have seen or heard through the media, or through your devices, yesterday, there was an amber alert for one of our Kindergarten students in Markham. A missing child is every parent’s worst nightmare. Words can’t express the depth of concern all of our staff members, both at the school and our Board offices, shared for the safety of our student yesterday.
We are so relieved that the child was found and is safe. Today, support staff, including psychologists and social workers, are available for our school community and will continue to support the student and her family.
