RE: Student Accounts After Graduation

Starting January 1, 2026, students will be able to access their Google Drive accounts for six months after leaving our board. Following this period, their accounts will be disabled and archived for another six months. Once the archive period ends, the accounts will be permanently deleted from YCDBK12 systems. 

Once a student leaves YCDSB, email functionality will not be permitted. For students that have completed all Grad Requirements and NOT returning for Semester 2, your K12 email will no longer be active in February 2026.

Dear Grade 12 Students and Families,

As we approach the Christmas season, we would like to wish all our Grade 12 students and their families a blessed, peaceful, and joyful Christmas break.

As a reminder, several important College and University application dates and scholarship deadlines take place in January.  This information has already been shared with students at school; however, we wanted to ensure that parents and guardians are also aware so they can support students during this busy time.

We encourage families to review application portals and scholarship requirements over the break to ensure all submissions are completed on time.

If you have any questions or require clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Guidance Counsellor when we return to the office January 5, 2026.

In the meantime please ensure to bookmark our STL guidance webpage as information is shared there for students and parents.

GRAD PHOTOS Update 

Email Sent Dec 10, 2025

Regarding Snow Day Dec 10th - Grad Photo ReSchedule

Good afternoon Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2026,

Due to the snow day on Wednesday December 10th, all grad photos scheduled for that day have been moved to Friday, December 19, 2025. 

Focus Imaging will contact you directly to confirm your availability for the new date. If you are unable to make that day, you will be able to reschedule with them for another time.

All remaining grad photo appointments (Thursday, December 11th and onward) will continue as planned.

If the Dec.10th snow day has created a conflict with your original appointment (e.g., tests or presentations being moved), please contact Focus Imaging directly at 416-593-6287 or info@focusimaging.ca to reschedule, as appointments are not handled at the school level. 

No need to stress, Focus Imaging will make sure every graduate gets their photo taken.
