In January and February 2022, schools across the District are hosting virtual parent information nights for families of students entering kindergarten and high school. These sessions invite families to learn about our schools, meet school administrative teams, register their child, and get answers to their questions about supporting their child’s education journey.
The virtual information night schedule for kindergarten and high school is available on the District website, along with helpful tips and resources for families. Each school website also includes details about its information night. Families can join the events live or watch the recordings afterwards.
School councils are encouraged to spread the word to their networks and local communities. Here are a few tips and resources:
- Do you know a family with kindergarten-aged children or children in grade 8? Encourage them to check out the District website (ocdsb.ca/kindergarten or ocdsb.ca/highschool) or your school website, where they can join the information session.
- Share or tag your friends in our OCDSB social media posts below. If your school has a social media account, be sure to share their posts as well.
- We’ve launched our new podcast, In Conversation with OCDSB, with a debut episode that’s all about getting ready for Kindergarten. Listen, subscribe and share!
- The OCDSB PDF Kindergarten Guide is available in multiple languages. Share this resource with your community in English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), French, Inuktitut, Somali, and Urdu.
- Use the template social media posts below to spread the word on your school council social media accounts:
