Valour JK-12 School

Dear Kinder Families,

Ease the butterflies Thursday, August 27 by taking a walk-through of our Kinder spaces and play area with your little one!

Drop in anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. This is an informal opportunity to explore the classroom and become familiar with their new surroundings - all at their own pace.

We can’t wait to welcome you and your little one!

A reminder to all of our families that our start & end times are changing for the upcoming year. Secondary will begin at 8:10 am and Elementary will begin at 9:10 am. 🔔⏰🔔

If you are looking for bussing information, please set up your account for the Parent Portal on the RCJTC website - https://www.onthebus.ca/. 🚌🚌🚌

We are excited to see all of our new Grade 9 students next Wednesday, August 26th, at our Orientation!

Meet in the Cafeteria at 9:00 am and get ready to explore your new school, get your timetable and locker, meet some of your teachers, and discover what high school has to offer.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone in September!

School starts Wednesday, September 2, and RCDSB is ready to welcome students and families back.

Starting Tuesday, August 18, our schools are open for new registrations and to help with back to school prep. Register online at rcdsb.on.ca or contact your local school.

A few ways to get ready over the next two weeks:

Shift bedtimes and wake-up times a little earlier each day. Talk with your child about what they’re looking forward to, and listen to any worries too. If you can, walk or drive the route to school together before September 2.

First day of classes: Wednesday, September 2.

🎉 Congratulations on another incredible school year! A massive thank you to our amazing educators, support staff, and students for your hard work and dedication all year long.

Huge shoutout to our Grade 8 and Grade 12 graduates - you did it! We are so proud of you and celebrate this amazing milestone with you.

Have a safe, restful, and fun-filled summer break, everyone! We can't wait to see all of our returning faces back in September. 🎉

We had such an incredible time last night celebrating the amazing achievements of our grade 12 graduates.

A massive special thanks goes out to all of our generous donors and wonderful guests for their contributions. And to the parents, families, and support systems in the audience - thank you for the endless love, late nights, and cheering that helped get our graduates to the finish line!
