From the Assiociate Director's Office Regarding Registration
"Currently, the TDSB online registration (OLR) has been accepting registrations for JK-08 students only. Starting Monday May 11th , 2020, parents/guardians can use online registration (OLR) to register NEW secondary students who have never attended a TDSB school. School staff can refer parents/guardians to Find Your School on the main TDSB website, where they can locate the Registration link.
Generally speaking, OLR allows parents to enter student information electronically rather than requiring them to fill out a paper registration form. The system then alerts the school via email in School’s General mailbox that there is a new registration. When a student registration is submitted in OLR, it normally stays in the OLR until an in-person meeting is arranged to review documents and complete the Attestation Form. At that point the school may pre-register the student in Trillium. Since it is not possible to verify admission documentation at this time, schools may proceed with pre-registering students in Trillium immediately. Schools must keep a list of all students that still need to have their documents verified. When schools re-open, the in-person verification procedures must be completed which includes document review and the completion of the Attestation Form for each new student registration. There is no requirement to ask parents to email documents (i.e. proof of birth or address) for the purpose of student registration for the 2020-21 school year."

The Word Collector
By Peter H. Reynolds
"In this extraordinary tale from Peter H. Reynolds, Jerome discovers the magic of the words all around him -- short and sweet words, two-syllable treats, and multisyllable words that sound like little songs. Words that connect, transform, and empower."

"Teachers at Brookside Elementary School in Scarborough came up with a safe way to see their students, decorating their vehicles with balloons and colourful signs before parading past the homes of their students."
