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.

family related issues, youth issues, legal
concerns, finances, library/recreation and more. We have a settlement

Community Service Hours
Completing
forty hours of community service is a graduation requirement. Students are encouraged to look for volunteer
opportunities in their communities as soon as possible. Students should confirm with the Guidance
Department that their choice of community service opportunity complies with the
requirements before they begin the volunteer placement. The Immigrant Youth Centre is a good place
to start looking for volunteer opportunities.
The public library system has over 1000 volunteers and is another good
option for students. (During the current 2020/2021 school year, some of the volunteer requirements and options have changed).
If possible, students should
select volunteer opportunities that will allow them to explore their academic
and career pathways. This will give
students valuable skills related to the prospective pathways as well as insight
into whether or not they wish to continue in the field or not.
