Guidance Updates:
Semester 2 Timetables
In January there will be significant changes to Stouffville's timetable.
Students who have requested the virtual school will have their timetable shifted from SDSS to virtual school for semester 2. Please note there are some SDSS courses that are NOT being offered at SVS - as a result, students may be placed in an alternate course.
Due to students moving to virtual school, some semester 2 classes will be cancelled. This will result in ALL Stouffville students being rescheduled for their semester 2 classes.
As a result of the above changes, SDSS is temporarily putting Semester 2 timetable change requests on hold. Once the Master schedule has been finalized, all students will receive their semester 2 timetables via their GAPPS email and will have an opportunity at that point to request a change if needed.
Thank you for your patience as we work through these changes.
