Parents & Guardians

Parents are Pivotal

We welcome parents and encourage parents to ask questions and tell us what we are doing well and what we might work on next. As a 21st century parent, there are many challenges, benefits and changes both in the world, society and in schools.

If you have questions,

  • ask your child
  • ask your child's teacher
  • ask the Wellesworth Office staff
  • ask other parents
  • if you aren't able to resolve a question or concern after talking with the Principal, TDSB has some options. Click here: Parent Concern Protocol

Ideas: If you have ideas, let us know. Tell your child's teacher, tell the Office, and come to a School Council meeting.

Depending on your own context, you may be looking for ideas for learning, ideas for keeping your children engaged and ideas simply of what to do when so much is closed. For now, if you are looking for activities or information, here are some places to visit. As you consider these, your families’ physical and mental well-being are of the utmost importance. Please use them in a way that is helpful to you and your family. 

PARTNERSHIP At Wellesworth, we believe that a strong partnership between the school and our families is essential. Our School Council is an active vibrant group. Our parent volunteers are seen throughout the school. We encourage parents to share with teachers their ideas and hopes. We welcome parents to be part of the school.

BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CARE: Are you interested in Before School or After School Care? Please contact the YMCA at wellesworth@ymcagta.org.

We welcome parents and guests into our school. For reasons of safety, we ask that all parents follow our guidelines as follows.

  • At all times, please enter by the main doors on Wellesworth Drive.
  • When you visit, please wait in the foyer.
  • If you are volunteering or if you have a meeting, wait to be escorted. Please ensure you wear a visitor’s badge.
