Some staff updates

RE: Class Reorganization

This school year has presented unique challenges to Ontario schools, as well as new options for students to learn in-person or remotely.

Each fall, HWDSB reviews elementary student enrolment in schools, and reorganizes staffing if actual enrolment differs from spring projections. It is normal for student enrolment to fluctuate a little.

This year, the fall reorganization is more widespread due to the in-person/remote option for students, as well as the ongoing need to meet provincial class size requirements.  Fortunately our enrolment at Yorkview remained stable.

Specifically, at our school, the reorganization will mean that Ms. Blaskivich will be leaving us and a new DECE, Ms. Gupta, will be taking her place.  Many permanent DECEs throughout the system had to be placed into postings that are currently being held by Long Term Occasional staff such as Ms. B.  We are sorry to see her go but know we will see her around Yorkview halls on a temporary basis from time to time.  Ms. Gupta is an experienced DECE joining us from Holbrook School where they are very upset to be losing one of their very cherished staff members.  These changes will take place on Tuesday November 3rd, although Ms. Gupta will join us Monday November 2nd to transition.

We apologize for any disruption this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

As always, our team of dedicated educators will work with you to ensure your child is well cared for and experiences educational success.

Halloween was a success! You will receive pictures from your child’s classroom teacher so everyone can see the wonderful costumes of the day!

Please return the signed portion of your child’s progress report as soon as possible.

Have a fantastic weekend!
