School Council
School councils play an important role in building school, family and community partnerships by providing input into relevant Board and school-level decisions and by encouraging the involvement of all members of the school community in support of student learning, achievement and well-being.
Join us for the first School Council meeting! At this meeting the School Council executive and members will be established. All parents are invited to attend this and all School Council meetings. You do not need to hold a formal position to be present, engaged and involved! We look forward to seeing you then and there.

A Shared Commitment to Respectful Communication
Our school values strong, respectful partnerships between students, staff, families, and our wider community. We recognize that questions and concerns may arise, and we are committed to listening and working together to support student learning and well-being.
We kindly remind all members of our school community that interactions with school staff, whether in person, by phone, or in writing, are expected to reflect the York Region District School Board’s Code of Conduct. This includes communicating in a civil, respectful, and professional manner, even during times of disagreement or frustration.
Our staff are dedicated professionals who work collaboratively to ensure a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for all students. Respectful communication helps us address concerns more effectively and maintain a positive working and learning environment for everyone.
We appreciate your cooperation and continued partnership as we uphold these shared expectations.
