Ottawa Carleton District School Board

Hello Students, We hope you had a wonderful March Break, and that you have enjoyed this first week back at school. Here are a few things to note for the week ahead.

Hello Students, Wishing you all a safe and happy March Break. A reminder that Daylight Savings begins on Sunday, March 12th, so don’t forget to set your clocks ahead one hour!

Hello Students, There is just one week left until March Break! Whatever your plans are, we hope you’ll be able to enjoy some restful time away from school. Please remember that if you are finding this time of year to be stressful, you are not alone. Talking about your concerns can help, and there are many local groups available to help.

Hello Students, Thank you to everyone who brought $2 or more to school in support of Toonie Tuesday this week.

Mental Health Matters - Understanding mental health and how to get support when you need it is so important. The OCDSB’s Youth Action Committee on Mental Health (Y.A.C) has created a poster to share information about local organizations that are here to support you. Our mental health professionals have also compiled this resource list to support families looking for information and support.

Hello Students, A reminder that next Friday, February 17th, will be a Professional Activity Day at all our schools. Monday, February 20th is Family Day. There will be no classes for students on either of these days.

Hello Students, Thank you to everyone who has participated in the OCDSB 2023-2027 strategic plan consultation process. It has been so energizing to connect with you and have a chance to hear your stories, thoughts and ideas. It is critical that our staff listen carefully to the experiences and ideas of students as we consider this path forward, in order to ensure we can shape a future for the OCDSB that is meaningful to you.

Hello Students, Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which honours and remembers the over six million Jews murdered and countless other victims of the Holocaust. At the OCDSB, it is our obligation to educate, prevent, challenge and address antisemitism in all its forms.
