MESSAGE FROM OUR SCHOOL TRUSTEE
December 2025
As trustees, it is a privilege to work alongside families and schools. Every day, we see incredible successes - big and small - taking place in classrooms and learning spaces across our Board. We are committed to celebrating those achievements and supporting families as you navigate the system to access the resources, programs and information you need.
Our schools and the Board host many events throughout the year for families—from information nights to cultural celebrations and community activities. These events provide wonderful opportunities to connect, learn and engage with the community. We encourage you to check your school’s calendar and the Board calendar regularly so you don’t miss these opportunities.
There are also some important registration dates coming up, including Kindergarten and French Immersion in January. Course selection also takes place in the coming months, which is a great time for students entering or currently in secondary school to explore the many options available to them.
Visit our school programs page for deadlines, details and to learn more about the many programs available to YRDSB students. These programs allow students to explore their interests, gain valuable experience and build transferable skills for the future.
We meet regularly as a Board of Trustees through monthly Board meetings and at regular committee meetings. Agendas and minutes are posted publicly so community members can stay informed.
A highlight of each monthly meeting is the Applause Awards, where we celebrate students, staff and community partners who are making a meaningful difference in our schools. These inspiring stories showcase student achievement, perseverance, and the power of communities coming together to support student learning and well-being
We also take time during our meetings to recognize Heritage months that reflect the diversity of our region and honour the identities of students, staff and families. This month, we recognize Christian Heritage Month; in January, we will celebrate Tamil Heritage Month, and in February, Black History Month. These observances give us an opportunity to pause and reflect on the contributions of these communities.
As we go into December, we want to take this opportunity to wish all families the very best for the holiday season and to wish you a safe, restful and enjoyable winter break.

RECOGNITION OF WHITE ORCHID DRY CLEANERS AND ALTERATIONSWe would like to sincerely thank this local business for donating their services to us unexpectedly! We took our Athletic Jerseys for repair, expecting to pay, but when they saw that the jerseys were for a school, they provided complimentary services, stating that they “wanted to support the community”. We wanted to share this with you all and perhaps you can consider them for your next dry cleaning/alternation services, to continue to “support our community”.

HOLIDAY HEROES FOOD DRIVE
We want to make a difference this holiday season and give back to the Thornhill/York Region community. This year we are supporting YRP’s Holiday Heroes Campaign.
We are asking for families to donate non-perishables or grocery gift cards to our food drive, running from November 25th to December 8th 2025.
The donations will be distributed through YRP’s community partners: Salvation Army, Victim Services of York Region and the York Region Centre for Community Safety.
Below is a message of most needed items.
Monetary and gift cards are the best, as they ensure items needed most can be purchased. Monetary donations also mean families can continue to receive support long after the holiday season.
The need for grocery gift cards is also higher than ever as the cost of groceries continues to rise.
Ideas for babies include, diapers, wipes, food pouches, formula, clothing, blanket and development games.
Thank you in advance for your support.
The Student Leadership Team
