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.

“Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.”
Albert Einstein
Mathematics in the new curriculum is no longer just the learning of numeracy. There is a big emphasis on problem solving, so that students can adapt to the changing conditions and demands of the world. Our goal is to provide the essential mathematical knowledge, and to promote and encourage the skills of reasoning, problem solving and communicating. We also believe in helping the students acquire and build on the necessary skills in mathematics, so that they will be successful in their future courses as well as in their chosen professions.
Our department is committed to ensuring that our students achieve success, and we encourage open communication with parents and guardians regarding their child’s progress throughout the year.
Extra help is available before school, during lunch and after school. Many of our senior level students also offer their services as peer tutors. Peer tutoring can be arranged through the guidance office.
“There have been only Mathematicians who were able to find some proofs, that is to say some sure and certain reasons.”
Rene Descartes
