Get Ready for Secondary: Grade 9 Virtual Information Sessions

It’s been a year unlike any other, but one thing is certain: Grand Erie’s secondary schools are ready to welcome future Grade 9 students! Information sessions will be held virtually this year, and secondary school staff are eager to ensure students and parents are supported throughout this transition process. The virtual information sessions begin with specialized programs. To attend a session from home, please follow the instructions provided for each school below as to how to access a virtual invitation. 

For Grand Erie Grade 8 students, information will be sent directly to students/families by the feeder school via a link prior to the date posted. Each secondary school will indicate if they are offering a Teams Live session, and how families may register for that session as part of the information shared.

For out-of-board registrations, please contact the school directly for information to be sent to you. We welcome and encourage non-Grand Erie families to connect directly with our secondary schools about all of the amazing opportunities that are available.

Thank you Queensview Retirement Community for donating $1,000 to our playground fundraiser

In an effort to build a better school playground we are trying to raise money for two playground structures with landscaping. This project will make a positive difference for 400+ elementary students at North Ward School. The estimated costs to complete the project is $75,000 to $100,000. Our school has raised approximately $11,000 through our recent Danceathon. Thank you to Queensview Retirement Community and R.T . Systems Inc. for donating $1000 each to our important cause.

For charitable donations of $1,000 or more, we can provide a charitable donation receipt, an acknowledgement on our outdoor school sign (see photo) and an acknowledgement in our school website. We will also include the name of the business or community group on a permanent plaque displayed inside our school.

For further information on donating to our playground project please contact the Ms. Shaheen or Mr. Holmes at: 519-442-2311.

Together, let's build a better playground!
