First Day of School

Welcome Back Wilshire! How wonderful it was to see all the beautiful faces of our students, families and staff today. There were many feelings throughout the day as we reconnected with friends and met new students and staff.

It came to our attention that many emails to our families over the last week have not been received – this has been a problem across YRDSB, one that we hope is being solved. Thank you for your patience as we work through our first week together!

Daily Screening

As you are aware, our school has many new health and safety measures in place to help keep students and staff safe from the spread of COVID-19.  But everyone, including families, plays a critical role in supporting health and safety in our school community.  Families are required to use the screening tool daily AND to stay home if you are sick.

Lunches

This year, we will continue to ask that students remain at school for lunch.  Please send all necessary food with students in the morning as lunch drop offs from family members or outside carriers is very disruptive to daily operations.  Only those students who are signed out by a parent or guardian will be permitted to leave at lunch and only students in Grades 7 & 8 will be permitted to sign out to go home on their own once the lunch time forms are submitted.  We will have pizza and subs and other lunch options available soon!

Guide to the School Year

The York Region District School Board has released its Guide to the School Year 2022-2023.  This detailed guide provides important information about the York Region District School Board and its schools. It includes information about who to contact if you have a question or concern, and covers a range of information such as busing, homework and parental engagement, items dealing with health and safety, as well as many board policies and procedures.  A hard copy of this guide will also be sent home with your child on the first day of school. There will be a form you need to complete based on this guide in the coming week.

School Year Calendar

The 2022-2023 Learning Calendar outlines the school year by identifying all regular school days, school holidays, professional activity and training days, and early release days.  We hope this will help you as you schedule events in the weeks and months to come. 

Medical Information

Each year, there are forms that must be completed annually for children with an anaphylactic and/or other medical condition.  Please download any required medical forms and email the completed forms to wilshire.es@yrdsb.ca.   If you have any questions regarding the forms, please contact the office at 905-889-6767.

For students who are anaphylactic, please send your child to school with 2 epi-pens.  One will be kept in the office and the other will remain with your child throughout the school day.
