Happy March! The following are a few items of note ...
TDSB Student Email Address Change
TDSB elementary student email addresses are changing to a new, more secure format. To increase the privacy and security of student accounts, email addresses will now be a simple format that does not include personal names. This update will take place from Saturday, March 14 to Tuesday, March 17, 2026. On a practical level, this change mainly impacts students in Grades 3-6 and teachers of these grades have been, or will be, working with students to support the change. Passwords remain the same. you can learn more here.
Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten Registration is now open for the 2026/2027 school year. Please note that this is for children who will be four by December 31, 2026, and that admission to TDSB schools is based on home address. You can check your home school here. Please call the school at 416-393-1700 should you have any questions.
Lost and Found
As winter slowly comes to an end, Norway's Lost and Found bins are filling up. Please take a look, or have your child take a look, for any items that have gone missing over the winter months. We will be collecting these items just before the March Break and donating them to organizations that can make good use of them. You will find the well organized bins just inside the main entrance to the school.
Greek Heritage Month
The TDSB is proud to recognize Greek Heritage Month during the month of March. This heritage is also celebrated across the Province of Ontario through the Hellenic Heritage Month Act, 2019. The Act notes that March is significant for the Hellenic community, with Greek Independence Day observed each year on March 25. Proclaiming March as Hellenic Heritage Month provides an opportunity to remember, celebrate, and educate future generations about the achievements and contributions of Hellenic Canadians. This year marks the eleventh year of recognizing Greek Heritage Month at the TDSB. The theme for 2026 is:
Celebrating Identities: From Alpha to Omega
«Γιορτάζοντας Ταυτότητες: Από το Άλφα στο Ωμέγα»
School Saliva Testing Program Update
The saliva testing program will be paused during March Break. No testing will be available from March 14–22, 2026. Families and staff are encouraged to submit kits before March 14 or after schools reopen.
The last day of Saliva Testing pick up for the school year is April 2, 2026. I will be sure to remind families in future newsletters.
Special Education and Inclusion Newsletter and Parent Engagement Sessions
The March newsletter is now available on the Special Education and Inclusion site and includes updates, tips, and resources to support students with disabilities and special education needs. Also, learn more about upcoming parent and caregiver engagement sessions.
