The Rousseau Events Calendar clarified
In an effort to share a consistent message with the Rousseau community, the Calendar on our school website will share information relevant to students, staff and parents/ guardians/ caregivers. It is for this reason that you might see our staff meeting dates, or times when staff might be out of the building for training as well as events that are particularly relevant to parents and students.
Searching our School Website
When looking for specific information about a topic, don’t forget that our website has a “search bar” at the top of the home page. If you are looking for information about volunteering, for example, you could type the word “volunteering” in the search bar and relevant posts would appear on your screen. The HWDSB website offers this same feature.

Smart Steps – Free Tutoring
Smart Steps is a registered non-profit organization that aims to assist students grades 1-8 in university cities. We aspire to provide children with more opportunities to advance their academic accomplishments by offering a free tutoring service in various subjects! Our mission is to educate, guide and mentor the children of today by providing an institutional atmosphere and adequate resources for academic development and growth.
Our hope is that our tutors and tutees will meet for approximately 2 hours per week, in accommodation to the child’s needs. The tutoring sessions will take place at one of the McMaster University Libraries available on campus.
More information is available at Smart Steps.
