2023/2024 Literacy Numeracy Community Support in our LDHSS Cafeteria 

 EVERY Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays  3:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School at 149 Berrigan Drive 

Our Literacy/Numeracy Program provides students in Grades 7 - 12 with a supervised opportunity to complete, review, practice, and organize their work in order to help them achieve greater success at school. It can also assist students in moving toward provincial standards in Mathematics and Language Arts. Students are encouraged to attend 2+ evenings a week to receive the full benefits of this program.

Cost: This program is FREE.

Eligibility: Open to students in Grades 7-12 who attend an OCDSB Day School, Night School or other OCDSB Continuing Education Programs.  Students attending schools in other Boards will need to provide additional documentation prior to registering.

Registration Form and Information for OCDSB students:

• OCDSB Literacy Numeracy Community Programs 2022-2023: Registration Form for OCDSB Students

• All students must fill out the registration form above and provide the student's Ontario Education Numbers (OENs). OENs can be found on the top of any Ontario Report Card.
