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.

The Denison English Department is focused on the strength and possibility of all students. Our department values curiosity and open classroom discussion. We strive to aid our students in making collaborative decisions while working with peers. Our students are challenged and encouraged on a daily basis to take responsibility for their learning and to achieve their fullest literacy potential. We believe in students voice and choice and encourage them to make decisions about which content interests them. Our department goals are to continue to offer content that is rich in culturally responsive and relevant pedagogies and to explore a wide range of texts for our students to see themselves reflected in the material.
English courses are designed using curricular guidelines and the overarching questions. Each grade builds on the skills learned in the prerequisite course, and aids to enhance students’ literacy acquisition. Our goal is to offer courses that are both relevant and interesting to students.
