Homework Help

The OCDSB, the Ontario Ministry of Education and the Independent Learning Centre are pleased to partner to continue to offer Math Homework Help to students. This free website focuses on providing live one-to-one math help from Ontario-certified math teachers for students taking Grades 7, 8, 9, and 10 math. This free tutoring service is available Sunday through Thursday from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM. For more information on Homework Help, please visit http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/elearning/homework.html or visit the site directly at http://HomeworkHelp.ilc.org. If you wish to register your child at home you will need their OEN number which can be found on their report card or timetable. If you would prefer that your son or daughter not register, please contact your school’s Principal.

For additional Kindergarten to grade 12 curricular resources visit the Ontario Educational Resource Bank (OERB): http://resources.elearningontario.ca. Parents are authorized to access the oerb using the student username and password.

Healthy Schools 2020 Initiative
The OCDSB is one of nine school boards working in partnership with the Champlain Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Network (CCPN). We are creating healthy school environments, and teaching students about the importance of physical activity and making healthy food choices every day. Healthy Schools 2020 workshops co-hosted by the CCPN, public health units, and school boards focused on three priority areas: healthy lunch programs, healthy fundraising, and healthy classroom rewards. Parents/guardians and educators can find a wealth of information and resources on the Healthy Schools 2020 initiative at www.healthyschools2020.ca.
