Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to all our new and returning families. I hope you all had a safe, healthy and enjoyable summer. Our caring, professional and dedicated school team has been working hard to prepare to welcome your children back to school. 

We recognize that the pandemic and shifts to remote learning over the past few years have affected students and families in different ways. As a school community, we are committed to supporting the learning, achievement and well-being of your child throughout the upcoming school year. We also continue to prioritize health and safety and follow guidelines and direction from the Government of Ontario and York Region Public Health.  

This start-up package includes important information about our school, and I encourage you to review it. 

Families will also receive the Guide to the 2022-2023 School Year which includes important Board information. 

Each year we ask families to complete some important forms to indicate they have reviewed and understand school and Board policies, and to indicate permissions. We are pleased to let you know that families will be able to complete this information online this year. You will receive an email in the coming weeks. Please take the time to review and complete the forms. If you prefer to receive and complete a paper copy, please contact the main office at 705-437-1537. These forms can also be found when available at www.yrdsb.ca/family-resources. 

We have a dedicated staff with a strong commitment to student well-being and achievement, and to promoting positive, inclusive and supportive relationships with students, families, staff and community members. We are committed to supporting our students’ transition back to school and to providing a learning environment where everyone feels safe, valued, welcome and respected.

We value the relationship we have with families, and look forward to speaking and working with you in the months ahead. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions.  We welcome the opportunity to connect with you.

There are many ways to stay connected with what’s happening in our school. Visit our school website for up-to-date information at www.morningglory.ps@yrdsb.ca, follow us on Twitter @MorningGloryPS  or Instagram @morningglory and watch for the weekly eBulletin with information about school events.

You can also find updated information about the Board at www.yrdsb.ca and Twitter @YRDSB. 

I wish you all a happy, safe and successful school year.

Sincerely,

Farshad Derakshandeh

Principal
