The Greater Essex County District School Board is changing the start date for Kindergarten in September 2024. All students, including JK and SK students, will now begin the school year on Tuesday, September 3rd. In previous years Kindergarten students began classes on Monday of the following week. Being able to take part in all 194 instructional days and immediately become full members of a school community are advantages for kindergarten students. Families, especially those with multiple students in different grades, will also benefit from this change.

W.E Care for Kids and the Ontario Student Nutrition Program (OSNP) have been selected as recipients of this year’s Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign! OSNP provides funding and support to breakfast and snack programs in 93 schools across Windsor-Essex, reaching approximately 29,000 students and ensuring they are well-nourished and ready to learn. W.E Care for Kids is dedicated to enhancing the health and wellness of children in Windsor and Essex County through fundraising initiatives. W.E. Care for Kids is an organization led and driven by volunteers, supported by the community and recognized as the leader in fundraising for children's health care. Don’t forget to go out and purchase your Smile Cookies from May 1-7!

Thursday, Feb 2nd, 2022 is #SweaterDay! Temperatures in many GECDSB buildings will be turned down by 2 degrees to raise awareness about climate change and energy conservation and to show that together we can be a part of the solution. Don't forget your sweater tomorrow! ❄
