The electronic translation service on the Toronto District School Board website is hosted by Google Translate, a third party service. The TDSB does not guarantee or warrant the reliability, accuracy or completeness of any translated information.
The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 100 languages, but does not capture all languages or dialects.
The basic translation goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material. Before you act on translated information, we encourage you to confirm any facts that are important to you or may affect any decisions you make.
The Toronto District School Board is committed to equity and community engagement, and by providing this tool, we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English.
North Kipling serves a multi-ethnic community, diversity is a reality, not an issue. Many of our families are new Canadians who speak different languages such as Punjabi, Tamil, Urdu, Hindi and Creole, in addition to English. We have 1 Settlement Worker at North Kipling JMS, 2 days a week, Thursday and Friday, to assist newcomer families. We are dedicated to teaching our students and working closely with their families and the community. We are committed to teaching responsibility and respect in a peaceful atmosphere, to providing a strong program with a foundation in literacy, numeracy, equity and anti-racist education and to providing every student with the opportunity to succeed. Our mascot is the cougar cub and our logo is a paw print.
In our primary division, we have incorporated the program "From 3 to 3" which improves literacy through the development of language and social reasoning. Students learn poems, chants, stories and listen to stories with underlying themes. We have made a major commitment to providing the most up-to-date technology to improve our students' literacy and numeracy skills. We have a television and VCR/DVD, overhead projector, computer with a printer and an internal phone in every classroom. During the past three years, we have added three SMARTBOARDS and an ELMO for each division through our participation with the Model Schools for Inner Cities Initiative. The morning announcements are produced by the students and broadcast to every classroom.
