February 2026

Hello Families of future Monarch Park pre-IB students!

I am honoured to be the first to welcome you to the Monarch Park family.  Monarch Park is a fantastic community with opportunities for all students.  The IB programme is one of the extra special things that we do.

I will be hosting an info session for our seated applicants likely in early March to answer the plethora of questions that you are starting to accumulate.  Please make a note of your questions so that we can address them all together.  Date to be determined once I have a list of all of our seated students.  I will post the date here and email it to our new families.

Applicants who are currently not registered with the TDSB will be sent a unique link to a registration form in February. Please complete and submit the online registration form as soon as you are able and contact Ms Smith (deborah.smith@tdsb.on.ca) to arrange an in-person registration appointment, where you will be required to provide the necessary registration documentation. Registrations should be completed before March 6, 2026. Additionally, your child will be able to select their program courses for next year at the registration appointment.

Current TDSB students can pick their courses through myBlueprint starting on February 13, 2026. Please submit your course selections before the deadline of February 27, 2026.

If you decide over the next few weeks that our program is not for you, or that you are going to attend your designated school by address, Special Education Intensive Support Program or continue in a French language program, please immediately notify the following by email so that the seat can be given to the first student on the waiting list:

• Our school guidance OA: deborah.smith@tdsb.on.ca

• Your current TDSB school

• IB@tdsb.on.ca

We want to allow as many students as possible to participate in this Central Student Interest Program opportunity. The final day that offers can be made is February 25, 2026.

We look forward to providing your student with rich and dynamic academic rigour through International Baccalaureate programming over the next four years, tapping into their keen interest and passion.

For course selection, TDSB students will complete their course selection through MyBlueprint.  Grade 8 teachers should have access to the IB course selection document, but just in case, here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZQjgDMRk-sAEtRzZ_Bl75alAx0E7EU08xRa9rJhQnAI/edit?usp=sharing.  For our students coming from other boards, please submit the completed course selection with your registration package.
