Our School

Dear Families,

Welcome​ ​back​ ​to​ ​school, Eagles!  A special welcome goes out to our newest Junior Kindergarten students and to the new to Taylor Evans students!  The​​ staff​ has​ been​​ busy​ ​at the​ school ​getting​ ​everything​ ​ready​ ​for​ ​the  2025-2026 ​school  year. ​ Thank​ you​ to​ the​ staff and ​custodians for​ ​all​ their​​ ​work​ ​to​ get​​ ​the school​ ​ready and so welcoming.​ 

​ The​ ​Upper​ Grand​  ​DSB​ ​is​ continuing to use​ ​a​ ​parent​ ​communication​ ​tool​ ​for​ ​smart​phones, the UGConnect app. As always, the most current information can be found on our website.  In addition, regular updates will continue to be emailed directly from the school.  Staying connected during the school year is important. 

Being partners in education is essential. Please let your child’s teacher know any important information that would be helpful. This can be done by sending an email to your child’s teacher.  Staff emails can be sent from our school website under the Staff tab.   You could also get involved by joining the School Council to support school and student goals.  Our first School Council Meeting will be Wednesday, September 17th at 7:00 PM.  Check our website closer to the date for more information.  Being a positive partner in your student’s education is a great way to let them know that we are all working together to create an inclusive and equitable school community.

We hope everyone enjoys the​ ​start to​ ​the new​ school year ​and welcome again to all the new and returning members of the Taylor Evans school community.  

Yours in education,

Principal                              Vice Principal

Mr. M. Turner                   Ms. C. Broadhead
