Welcome to the 2019-20 school year! Today has been a busy, but successful first day here at the Toronto District School Board as we welcomed new and returning students into our schools for another year of learning and experiences.

To help you throughout the year, we have developed a webpage that will provide you with resources for both parents and students, including homework tips, the school-year calendar, transportation information and updates, and supports for mental health, healthy living and bullying. Here, you will also find ways you can get involved in your child’s education and school life, such as taking part in your local school council, volunteering to coach sports or supervising field trips. Your involvement in your child’s education and school life can contribute to their success.

This year, we are pleased to continue the important work of the Multi-Year Strategic Plan. This plan, and the many action plans that accompany it, will help us provide students with equitable access to programs and resources, and increased opportunities for success.

To join the conversation and keep up-to-date on all the great work that is happening at the TDSB, we encourage you to follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. From board-wide updates to school activities, good news stories and more, our social media accounts are the perfect way to stay informed. And, if you’re looking for more great things happening at the Board, you should check out Trending@TDSB.

Throughout the year, we will also keep you updated via email, webcasts and ward forums.

This is an exciting time for everyone at the TDSB and we wish you a great year ahead!
