How To Access Report Cards - Family Dashboard

As we reach the end of the school year, schools will be sharing student report cards by  July 10 for secondary schools. Report cards will be available in the Family Dashboard until July 30. You will receive an email when your child’s report card is available. 
 
For families who do not yet have a Family Dashboard account, you can sign up for an account at any time at family.yrdsb.ca. You can find information on how to create an account on the Board website or in this instructional video. 
 
The Family Dashboard gives parents/guardians secure one-stop access to information and applications related to your child’s education. It is designed to make it easier for families to engage with their child’s education.  
 
Please note, you can still request a printed copy of your child’s report card if you prefer by contacting your child’s school.
 
As we wrap up the school year, we also want to remind families that it’s important that the school has updated contact information for students and parents/guardians, including home address, phone numbers, email address and emergency contacts. This will ensure that the school can contact families in case of emergency, and also that you continue to receive important communications and updates from the school. Please contact the school directly with any changes.

Message from Our Trustee

June 2025

As we approach the end of the 2024-2025 school year, I want to take this opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments, hard work and commitment of students, staff and families. As I have visited schools, attended events and heard from families, I continue to be proud of the dedication to public education and student achievement and well-being I see. 

I want to wish my sincere congratulations to all of the graduates and proud families. This is an exciting time and I hope you enjoy this celebration of all of your hard work, perseverance and accomplishments. Whether you are moving on to secondary school, the workplace or post-secondary pathways, we wish you all the very best in this next exciting chapter of your journey. 

We had an opportunity in April to celebrate the achievements of 20 students at our annual Celebrating Student Success/Human Rights Ambassadors Awards event. It was a wonderful reminder of how much our students are capable of. While success and achievement looked different for each student, we saw a common theme of determination and care. Students demonstrated a real commitment to lifting up those around them. I see that everywhere in our system as I visit schools. It makes me so proud to see the ways our students are already shaping the future for the better. 

Each month in the Boardroom, we also had the opportunity to recognize the achievements of staff and students through the Applause awards. Congratulations to all of the award recipients. These awards capture a sampling of the incredible work happening around York Region District School Board and the successes we see students achieving. 

These successes we have seen this school year would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of staff across the system, and I want to thank you for all that you do each and every day. I also want to recognize the contributions that have been made by school councils, volunteers and families. Your work to enhance family engagement and strengthen public education has a noticeable difference in our schools and in the achievement and well-being of students. 

This is a very busy time of year and I wish all of the students the best as you work on projects and prepare for upcoming exams. I hope you also enjoy the celebrations that occur at this time of year, and as we celebrate another successful school year.

PRESS RELEASE 

SEASON 36 – FINAL CHALLENGE

MONDAY, JUNE 2^nd – FRIDAY, JUNE 6^th, 2025 (PERIOD 1)

The Entrepreneurship Program, now in its’ thirty sixth season, is the ultimate, Westmount Collegiate Institute eighteen-week job interview, where candidates compete, in teams, over the duration of the semester in a series of rigorous business tasks, that require the perfect balance between street smarts and book smarts to conquer, in order to show Mr. Coates, the boss, that they are the best candidate for his company, Coates Securities. In each task, the teams are sent to the boardroom, where Mr. Coates and his hired associates judge the job applicants on their performance in the task.

The current season include seven teams of three, challenged to combine both "Street Smarts" and "Book Smarts" as they go head-to-head to see which team is most innovative and enterprising. This season’s ventures include everything one might need this summer and beyond. As the tasks have become tougher, the judging has become harder, and the contestants have become fiercer.  All profits raised are combined with the profits raised through Bare Necessities and Marketing Event Week, to support the Canadian Cancer Society. Over the past thirty-five seasons, over $173,000 has been raised to support those in need.  

In the end, the question will be answered in the showdown of the semester – The Final Challenge – Venture Week 36 (June 2nd to June 6th, 2025 in the atrium during period 1). Who will take their well-earned place, this season, with Mr. Coates on the other side of the boardroom table? Who will succeed? Who will be ordering a taxi? And who will be hired?     

JOIN THE FIGHT, HELP THOSE IN NEED. HELP FIND A CURE.

ALL PROFITS ARE DONATED TO THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY
