John Young ES

Here are some of the great events coming up in the next few weeks!

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) values parental engagement. When parents share their ideas and offer constructive feedback, the school system is improved and students succeed. We are seeking your input regarding school climate at John Young Elementary School (Grades JK to 6). By completing our School Climate Survey for parents/guardians, your feedback will assist us in developing strategies to prevent bullying and to promote safe and inclusive schools for all students.

Tutoring, reading support, and homework help at the Hazeldean Branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Ages 6 - 12. Led by Frontier College. Wednesdays 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Drop-in.

The JYES educators and I will be planning class lists for next year in the coming weeks. There are a variety of factors that we use to determine placement (ie: grade level, special education needs, social considerations, academic strengths and needs, gender etc....). If you would like to share some information that we should consider before placing your child in a class, please send me a written request (paper or electronic) no later than April 30, 2018. Unfortunately, we may not be able to accommodate all parent requests. We will be unable to share this placement with you until the first day of school, due to changing numbers over the summer months, and all placements will be final in September except for very exceptional personal circumstances. Thank you for sharing information with us for our consideration.
