In the UGDSB, we know how important school attendance and established routines are for students to build knowledge, skills and confidence. Regular attendance is more than just a requirement; it's a critical building block for academic success, social development, and future opportunities. While we may face challenges that can make school attendance difficult, it's important to understand the impact of frequent absenteeism and how we can work together to support regular attendance.
Please see a description of what Upper Grand District School Board staff will be doing on the April 8, 2024, Professional Activity Day.
EQAO has announced a series of webinars focusing on the Primary and Junior assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics.
As February comes to an end, we remember that this month is more than just about history. In 2021, Upper Grand students and staff in their work to re-conceptualize Black History Month, ended up renaming it Black Heritage, Black Brilliance and Black Futures month.
