Cootes Paradise School Re-Organization

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board reviews its student enrolment numbers in each school at this time of year. The enrolment numbers are compared to the projected enrolment numbers determined at the end of the previous school year, which initiates the staffing process.

As we look to meet the provincial class size requirements and finalize the enrolment numbers for this school year, it’s typical for student enrolment to fluctuate.

There is a need to make some adjustments to our school classroom organizations based on our confirmed enrolment. Specifically, at our school we will be moving a number of students to new classes. Transitions will take place on October 3rd and students will begin in their new classrooms on October 4th.

Teachers have worked together on deciding which students will be moving, taking into consideration all student needs and balancing classes as best as possible.

We apologize in advance for any disruption this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we finalize class organizations for this school year. As always, our team of dedicated professional educators will partner with you to ensure students are well cared for and experience educational success.

Letters will be going home this week to all students who are affected by this move.

Thank you!
