Grand Erie Ready to Welcome Students Back on September 3
Back to school officially begins for all Grand Erie students on Tuesday, September 3, with staff ready to welcome new and returning students for the 2019-20 school year.
“We’re thrilled for the return of our students and their families to our school communities across Grand Erie,” said Brenda Blancher, Director of Education. “During the summer months, an enormous amount of work takes place to prepare our schools and support centers for the new year. Thanks to the efforts of many, we’re ready for Tuesday and can’t wait to kickoff 2019-20.”
Back to School – Important Information to Know:
Grand Erie District School Board represents more than 25,000 students in 58 elementary and 14 secondary schools within the City of Brantford and Brant, Haldimand, and Norfolk counties. With a dedicated staff of more than 2,000, Grand Erie remains committed to its goal of Success for Every Student.
Happy “new year”! I hope everyone had a pleasant summer holiday. It’s been nice to talk to students and parents this week about all the things you’ve done over the past two months. I’ve heard lots of stories of fun trips and relaxation. I’ve also heard a few about some more stressful experiences that life seems to always present. Whatever the past 2 months brought for you, I’m looking forward to working together again as a Boston School Family to support each other. September brings the opportunity for fresh starts and lots of reason for optimism. Each and every student is full of potential, and on a pathway that is their own unique success story (always in progress)!
This year you’ll notice that the
staff is mostly the same with a few exceptions.
Mrs. Huffman is off this year with her new baby. We would like to
welcome Ms. Agius, who has joined us to teach the 3/4 class. We are excited to have her back as part of
the Boston team! We would also like to
welcome Mrs. Trembley as our new custodian.
We are all in good hands with her making sure the building is in good shape!
On the first day, we had a
Welcome-Back Assembly in which we committed to two very simple things this
year: 1) We will always do our best
2) We will always be kind
I believe those two simple
statements can guide every decision we make every day, and I’ve asked every
Blazer to consider them when they are making choices.
Once again, welcome to a new school year. It’s good to be back!
