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.

Page Content Introduction to the Junior Division
From the The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8: Language, 2006 (revised) the Ontario Ministry of Educaiton notes:
The expectations for Grades 4 to 6 focus on students’ ability to use their knowledge and
skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and representing to understand,
critically analyse, and communicate a broad range of information and ideas from and
about their multicultural, multimedia environment.
Junior students’ language knowledge comes from their life experiences and prior knowledge
and from the foundational language knowledge and skills acquired in the primary
school years. The expectations in the junior years build upon this foundation. Because the
base of knowledge, experience, and skills varies from student to student, it is important
for instruction to be differentiated to meet the needs of individuals and small groups of
students.
For a complete summary of the Junior learner from the Language Curriculum refer to the document below:
