Important Principal Announcement

November 12, 2020

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I am writing to inform you that as of December 7, I will be transferring from Yorkview to serve as System Principal, Equity for HWDSB. My last day as Principal of Yorkview will be Friday, December 4. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Yorkview and will miss the students, staff and families that I have come to know so well.

I know that the staff and community will join me in welcoming Ms. Laura Barkiw, who will serve as Principal at both Yorkview and Dundas Central Elementary Schools. The two schools will remain as separate schools with respect to operations, staffing and school councils.

Ms. Barkiw will be joined by Ms. Suzana Milinovich, who will serve as Vice-Principal and on-site administrator at Yorkview beginning December 7. Both Ms. Barkiw and Ms. Milinovich bring a wealth of experience and will provide outstanding leadership to ensure that Yorkview continues to be a safe, caring learning environment for all. I will be working with both school leaders over the next few weeks to ensure a smooth transition.

Thank you to everyone, staff, students and families, for your support and encouragement over my last year at Yorkview. I would like to wish you all well in your future endeavours.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this information, please feel free to contact me at the school.

Sincerely,

Michelle Rodney-Bartalos
Principal
