The Upper Grand District School Board serves more than 35,000 students through 66 elementary schools and 11 secondary schools in the City of Guelph, County of Wellington and County of Dufferin. 

With so many great things happening across the district, here are some ways parents, students and community members can engage with the UGDSB!

The UGDSB encourages and welcomes the involvement of community and parent volunteers. Volunteers enhance learning opportunities for students as well as contribute to a positive school climate. Learn more about School Volunteers here.

Becoming involved in the life of your school can be rewarding for you, your child and the entire school. Have you ever wondered how you can get involved? You can be a partner in your child’s education through the board-wide Parent Involvement Committee or your School Council.

The UGDSB Communications team has a monthly newsletter to give students, staff and parents/guardians a glance at the month ahead. Keep an eye out the last week of each month for your latest edition of UGDSB Together.

The board welcomes your input and suggestions for improving new or revised policies and procedures, prior to final approval by the Board of Trustees.  When policies are open for public consultation, a link to the policy page with draft documents and an online feedback survey will be posted here.

The UGDSB makes its facilities available for community use in a manner that is both fair and equitable through the Community Use of Schools (CUS) program. CUS works in partnership with the board’s staff and its diverse communities to foster an ongoing relationship of interaction and intercommunity.

The UGDSB is committed to building strong, positive relationships with students, families, and our community. If you have questions, feedback or concerns, we encourage you to contact us. We aim to answer questions and resolve issues at the level closest to where they happened, so families get timely and effective support.
