Principal Message - Welcome Letter

  


Dear Westmount C.I. Families,

Welcome to all our new and returning families to the 2023-2024 school year! 

Our school team has been working hard to prepare to welcome your children back to school. We have a dedicated staff with a strong commitment to student learning, achievement and well-being. We are committed to supporting our students’ transition back to school and to providing a learning environment where everyone feels safe, valued, welcome and respected.

There are some important things we want to share at the start of the school year:

  • Please review the school start-up package sent to families via email for important information about our school. 

  • The Guide to the School Year has been moved online. We encourage families to review this webpage as it includes important information you may need to access throughout the school year. You can use the translation feature on the website to translate this content. It is available at https://www2.yrdsb.ca/school-year-guide

  • Each year we ask families to complete important start-up forms.  You will receive an email in the coming weeks with a link to the online forms; these forms are also attached as pdf to the message with this Start Up Package. Please review and complete the forms. If you prefer to receive and complete a paper copy, please visit the Main Office at Westmount C.I. 

There are a few upcoming dates I would like to highlight, including:

  • Grade 9 Parent Information Session & First School Council Meeting

    • Wednesday, September 27, 2023

    • The Grade 9 Parent Information Session will include the details presented on September 5 

  • Additional School Council Meetings (some dates may change based on presentations/guest speaker availability - please visit the school website and blog for updates/adjustments over the year)
    • Wednesday, October 25, 2023
    • Wednesday, December 6, 2023
    • Wednesday, February 21, 2024
    • Wednesday, April 17, 2024
    • Wednesday, May 22, 2024
We value the relationship and partnership we have with families, and look forward to speaking and working with you in the months ahead. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions.  We welcome the opportunity to connect with you.

There are many ways to stay connected with what’s happening in our school:

I wish you all a happy, safe and successful school year,

Susan. Maharaj Principal, Westmount CI
