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.

When students register, efforts will be made to introduce them to a student translator who speaks their native language. The translator will help the newcomer integrate with ease into the new Canadian high school environment.
Mr. Bramer is also available in the Guidance office to meet with any Multilingual Language Learners with questions or concerns.
Student progress is monitored on an ongoing basis, even after the student is no longer in the ESL program.
A Settlement Worker is available in the ESL Office once a week to help students in adjusting to life in Canada. For more information about Settlement Workers, please visit Settlement.org
Accommodations are in place to help MLL students succeed. Accommodations may include extra time to write quizzes, tests, and exams, using bilingual dictionaries, and/or working with peer tutors.
The Peer Tutoring Club offers tutoring at lunch and after school. Senior students assist younger students in understanding their homework in all courses. Many of our tutors speak different languages.
Students from our leadership course also act as teacher assistants in the classrooms to help students who may be having difficulty in a course.
