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.

YRDSB Literacy Definition
Literacy is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable achievement, personal well-being and full participation in an interconnected and changing world community.
The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test will take
place on Thursday March 30, 2017 for this school year. Students are expected to
write the test in their grade ten school year. English Language Learners and
students with Individual Education Plans are allowed accommodations that they
would normally use in their classes to help ensure their success in this test.
Deferrals are given to students who have not shown that they are reading and/or
writing at a grade nine level yet and further supports are needed before they
would be successful on the test.
If you have any questions about the test or our afterschool program please
contact Raymond Luong, the literacy teacher at Maple High School at Raymond.Luong@yrdsb.ca
Further information about the test can be found at the
EQAO website.
