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.

Our Dress Code Policy:
Meets the requirements of the Ministry of Education, Safe Schools Act, 2000, subsection 302(5) that “a board shall establish policies and guidelines respecting appropriate dress for pupils in schools within the board’s jurisdiction, and the policies and guidelines must address such matters and include such requirements as the Minister may specify”.
Is consistent with the Human Rights Code and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Respects the rights of persons of all cultures, faiths and abilities
Addresses issues of compliance and affordability
All staff and students at High School are expected to maintain an appropriate level of dress and personal hygiene such as would be acceptable to an employer. This helps to set the proper tone for a respectful workplace and learning environment.

Items of clothing must be whole and must bear no vulgar, profane or disrespectful symbols; no images that promote drugs or alcohol, or that are racially, ethnically, sexually or religiously offensive. No headgear is to be worn inside the school, other than that required for accepted religious practices or school programs. Hats, bandanas, do-rags and masks are not allowed.
The Principal and/or Vice-Principals will make final decisions regarding appropriate dress.
Students who fail to respect the Dress Code will be instructed to do one of the following:
Surrender inappropriate accessories;
Change into other clothing;
Wear clothing items provided by the school (e.g. t-shirt or shorts); or

Other consequences such as detentions and suspensions will follow repeated infractions.
