Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Resources
This is a difficult time for many
in our community. I want to remind you that Employee and Family Assistance
Program resources are available for staff members who wish to access
them.
Please
see this Crisis Portal that has been made available by our Employee and Family
Assistance Program, ComPsych. The Crisis Portal is open to all and includes
helpful information about coping after a traumatic event and coping emotionally
after a disaster, including tips about talking to children about traumatic
events. The portal is available in several languages and you can adjust the
language by clicking on the Canadian flag on the top right side of the page and
selecting your preferred language.
