Ottawa Carleton District School Board

We have been informed of a series of allegations relating to the school climate at Nepean High School. The allegations span a period of several years and involve both current and former students and staff. The allegations address issues of racism and inappropriate conduct of staff involving students.

We have been hearing your questions about COVID-19 and have assembled a list of questions and answers for you.

With so much emphasis on online learning, it is important for students to realize the responsibilities that are associated with the internet.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is proud to announce the launch of our new Indigenous, Equity and Human Rights Roadmap - 2020-2023.

The rise in cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa is concerning. Right now, some students are already in 14-day self-isolation while others are at home awaiting test results. While we all must continue to do our part to stop the spread of COVID into schools, more families will experience this in the weeks ahead.

The OCDSB is looking for parents and interested community members to serve on its Parent Involvement Committee (PIC). The committee meets 6 times per year to advise on policies and issues of concern to parents, and to make suggestions to the Board regarding parent engagement that supports student achievement.

We know how important it was for students, families and staff to get back to school. It's been a good start and there has been lots of change. We'd like to hear from OCDSB students, parents/guardians, educators and staff on your experiences so far this year.
