Reminder: Friday, December 7 is a Board-wide Professional Activity day.  There is no school for students that day. More info about PA Days and school holidays .

Dogs on TDSB/School Property: While our school isn’t favourable to dog walkers, we find that some community members like to bring their dogs onto school property when they visit. Sometimes they bring them into the school and sometimes they tie them up outside the school. Many people are surprised to learn that City of Toronto By-Laws and TDSB Policy prohibit dogs (leashed or unleashed) being on school property.  If you are visiting Eglinton, please don’t bring your dog with you and/or please do not tie the dog to the school’s fences or railings while you are in the building.

Information Evenings for Junior Extended French (Gr. 4 Entry) : The TDSB French as a Second Language Department is hosting Information Evenings in January 2019.  The meetings will be held at specific area secondary schools across the system rather than at each individual Junior Extended French school site. The secondary schools have been selected to ensure reasonable access across the system (location/parking/TTC where possible) and there are 7 information sessions being offered. View a list of all Information Evening Session in January 2019
