Be sure to visit us during the evening of Thursday, April 5^th from 6:00-7:00 pm to explore the wonderful world of Science.

Be amazed as you travel through different pavilions focusing on Science! Learn about the incredible variety of habitats around the world. Think of the unbelievable possibilities and potential related to the study of robotics and coding. Investigate the complexities of the human body systems. Baffle at the incredible biodiversity of living things within our planet. And finally, be amazed at the inventions displayed and experiments performed before your very eyes.

We hope to see you at the Science Expo on Thursday, April 5^th, 2018 from 6:00-7:00 pm. Visit all of the pavilions and collect stamps to be entered in a raffle for a fantastic science-themed prize.

York Region District School Board is revisioning its Multi-Year Plan (MYP) and Board Improvement Plan for Student Achievement and Well-being. The Board of Trustees is responsible for setting the strategic direction of public education in York Region public schools. The MYP incorporates the direction established by the Trustees with feedback received from all stakeholders, and will inform decision making at the Board in the years to come. Town halls will be taking place across the region and feedback collected from families and community members will inform the creation of a new MYP. Your voice is important and your input and feedback will help York Region District School Board support student achievement and well-being. There will also be other opportunities, including a survey available in April, to share your thoughts if you are unable to attend a town hall.
