School Organizations
September 2021
Message from the Human Resources Department, Upper Grand District School Board
Re: School Organizations
Schools have built class lists based on their tentative organizations. Changes
may be necessary at your child(ren)’s school in order that our Board remain
compliant with Ministry parameters (see below). Any changes would be
implemented by Monday, September 20th. Principals do not have the option
of changing the school organization that is set by the District Staffing
Committee of the Board. If changes affect your child(ren), you will be
informed by the school.
