Welcome back to another school year.
I am happy to extend a warm welcome to our returning students
and families and those who are new to our Board. I am the trustee for your
child’s school and your representative on the York Region District School Board
of Trustees.
I am looking forward to continuing my work to ensure that
all YRDSB students receive a high-quality education within safe, caring and
inclusive learning environments.
In the coming year,
trustees will continue to focus on the priorities that we set out in our
Multi-Year Plan: student achievement and well-being, the delivery of effective
and sustainable educational programs and the responsible stewardship of Board
resources.
We know that partnerships with families are essential to
achieving this goal. Good schools become better schools when they are connected
to parents and families.
I hope that you will find
positive and meaningful ways to engage with your child’s school over the course
of the year. There will be many events and activities to look forward to
throughout the year and many opportunities across the Region that support
parent engagement.
2015-16 promises to be an exciting year. All the best for the
upcoming school year!
