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.

Tips for Back to School
|
Page Content The start of a new school year can be a period of transition for students and families. As students start heading back to school, here are a few tips to help make the start of this school year a positive one:
- Start back to school bedtime and morning routines now. A good night’s sleep and proper nutrition will go a long way in making the first week back a success.
- Try to prepare the night before so the morning is stress free – pick out clothes, and pack a nutritious lunch and snacks.
- Engage your child to help pack his or her lunch. Use reusable containers for a litterless lunch, and remember that schools are nut free.
- If your child is taking the bus, plan to arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes early.
- Make sure your child is dressed appropriately for weather.
- Remember to label everything.
- Supply lists vary by school and grade. Teachers will let students know what they need. You won’t need supplies on the first day, so there is still time to shop.
- Make sure there is a quiet space to do homework.
- Talk to your child about starting school, and about his or her day at school.
Parents are the most important partners in their child’s education. For more information on how parents can get more involved with their child’s education, please visit our Board website.
