Holiday Heroes Campaign

Have you ever wanted to be a hero? Now is your chance!

Starting Nov 17th to Dec 18th, Trillium Woods students in partnership with York Region police are participating in Holiday Heroes Food Campaign. Bring in your non-perishable food items to the boxes in the foyer between Nov. 17-Dec. 18. 

You should donate because you can become a holiday hero and help families that need support in York Region.

Sincerely,

The Holiday Heroes Student Crew

The York Region District School Board welcomes you and your child to our schools. We are proud to be one of Ontario’s top achieving school districts and to provide quality educational programs for all our students. Kindergarten is a big step on the journey of learning and this is an exciting time for you and your child. We strongly believe that forming strong partnerships with our parent community is a main factor in achieving success; and encourage you to engage in your child’s education.

The York Region District School Board’s mission is to advance student achievement and well-being through public education, which motivates learners, fosters inclusion, inspires innovation and builds community. We look forward to having your child join us and working with you toward his/her success.

Progress Reports and Parent Teacher Interviews

Posted below is important information as our school returns to normal working conditions following the recent job action.

Elementary Progress Reports

Our teachers are currently completing the fall progress report for students in Grades 1-8. As referenced in the Director of Education’s letter on November 3, 2015, these reports will be distributed in our school on December 11.  If your child’s teacher has concerns with your child’s progress, she/he will contact you to set up a meeting. If you have questions about your child’s progress and a meeting has not been set up, please speak with your child’s teacher. Please note that because progress is tracked differently, reports are not being completed for distribution to students in Junior or Senior Kindergarten.

Parent Teacher Interviews

These meetings will be initiated by your child’s teacher where there are concerns regarding student progress and may occur on the evening of Thursday, November 26, 2015 or during the day on Friday, November 27, 2015. Teachers remain committed to ongoing communication with parents regarding student progress.

Kindergarten Progress

Your child’s teacher will initiate a meeting with you if there are concerns regarding progress. As always, if you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher directly.

Individual Education Plans

If your child has an individual education plan (IEP), you will receive an updated copy during the next reporting cycle in January. If you recently had an individual placement and review committee meeting, your child’s IEP will be provided to you prior to January. Please contact your child’s special education resource teacher (SERT) if you have any questions.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our parent community for your ongoing commitment to Trillium Woods and for your patience through the recent labour situation.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the main office.
