Staff are engaged in closing operations for the end of term.

The YCDSB (草莓社区) has launched a new resource to help families better navigate their child鈥檚 educational journey. This office is an additional point of contact that makes it easier for students and parents/guardians to access support, bring questions to the right person and receive timely updates.

What Is the Student and Family Support Office?

This office will help students and parents/guardians who are seeking support or guidance related to a student鈥檚 education, particularly when a concern is complex, unresolved or cannot be addressed at the school level.
The Ministry of Education has directed all school boards to create a local Student and Family Support Office.

How Can the Office Help?

The Student and Family Support Office can support you when:

• A concern has not been resolved after speaking with school staff
• Guidance is needed on who can assist with more complex or sensitive matters
• Central school board support is needed beyond what the school can provide

In these cases, the Student and Family Support Office can connect you with your area superintendent and support matters that may require further escalation. We can also direct your inquiry to the appropriate YCDSB department for support, where needed. These are just two examples of how the office can help.

Start With Your Child’s School

For most day-to-day questions or concerns, communicating with your child’s teacher or principal is the quickest and best option. Before contacting the Student and Family Support Office, we encourage families to bring the issue to their school directly.

How to Contact the Student and Family Support Office

Starting today, you can contact the Student and Family Support Office through:

• Email: supportoffice@ycdsb.ca
• Phone: (289) 453-0097
• Online:
• A link will also be available on and on every school website

More information on the Student and Family Support Office is available on its website: .
As a Catholic learning community, the YCDSB believes in providing every student with the best possible educational experience. We are pleased that the Student and Family Support Office will provide another opportunity to answer our community鈥檚 questions and help our students thrive.

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Dear 草莓社区 (草莓社区) Students, Staff and Families,

As we approach the Easter season, we are invited to pause and reflect on the profound joy that faith brings to our lives. Easter is at the heart of the Catholic faith. This is a time when we celebrate hope, renewal and God鈥檚 transformative love. Easter shows us that the Lord is always with us, so we always have a reason to be joyful.

I want to recognize how 草莓社区 schools bring joy to our wider community every year through their ShareLife fundraising. ShareLife Week occurred last week throughout the YCDSB, and this was our way of helping the tens of thousands of people who are fed, housed and supported by ShareLife-funded agencies. Last year, the YCDSB donated $128,000 to ShareLife, which is an incredible testament to your commitment to living your faith by helping others.

The YCDSB community is defined by its people who understand how Catholic education can change lives. What makes this community truly special is you: the care and commitment you bring to it every day. Thank you for making the YCDSB what it is.

On behalf of the YCDSB, I wish you and your loved ones a blessed Easter. May this holy season fill your hearts with hope and joy.

Yours in Catholic Education,听

Jennifer Sarna
Interim Director of Education
