Dear families,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year. It is our great pleasure to welcome both new and returning families. Our dedicated staff members have been working hard to prepare for a positive start to the school year and to create welcoming environments for students and families.
At York Region District School Board, we are committed to providing every student with a high quality public education - one where they feel safe, valued and supported, and that prepares them for the future. We believe that every child can be successful given the right support, opportunities and learning environment and we strive to provide that for each student.
Education is a partnership. We are grateful for the trust you have in us each and every day and see this trust as both a responsibility and a privilege. We will continue working together with you to support your child’s learning, achievement and well-being.
We encourage you to connect with your child’s educators and to explore the many ways you can stay connected with the school board - through social media, our newsroom and podcast. If you haven’t already, we invite you to sign up for the Family Dashboard, which provides one-stop access to important information and applications related to your child’s education.
Our work is guided by the Board of Trustees’ Multi-Year Strategic Plan and District Action Plan, which focus: student achievement, health and well-being, and human rights and inclusive education. We invite you to learn more about this important work on our website.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and we wish you all a wonderful start to the 2025-2026 school year.
Ron Lynn, Chair
Bill Cober, Director of Education
