Dear families,
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year. It is our pleasure to welcome new and returning families. I hope you had a safe, healthy and enjoyable summer.
The professional and dedicated team of staff at our school have a strong commitment to supporting your child’s learning, achievement and well-being. We have been working hard to prepare to welcome your child to school, and to create a learning environment where they feel safe, welcome, valued and included.
There are some important things we want to share at the start of the school year:
- This start-up package includes important information about our school. It is important that you review this package including the Use of Technology Agreement and the Student Code of Conduct.
- The Guide to the School Year includes important information you may need to access throughout the school year. You can use the translation feature on the website to translate this content. Find the guide under Family Resources at www.yrdsb.ca/familyresources.
- Each year we ask families to complete important start-up forms. You will receive an email in the coming weeks with a link to the online forms. Please review and complete the forms. If you prefer to complete a paper copy, please contact the main office.
OM MacKillop staff look forward to meeting families at our Meet the Teacher Night and BBQ on Thursday October 8, 2026. More information to follow….
We value the relationship and partnership we have with families and look forward to connecting and working with you throughout the school year. Please contact the school if you have any questions. We welcome the opportunity to connect with you.
There are many ways to stay connected with what’s happening in our school:
- Visit our new school website for up-to-date information about events.
- Access the Family Dashboard at family.yrdsb.ca for one-stop access to applications.
- Look for our weekly school email update
- You can also find updated information about the board at www.yrdsb.ca, X (formerly Twitter) @YRDSB, Instagram @yrdsb.schools, or the board podcast TuneIn YRDSB wherever you listen to podcasts.
I wish you a happy, safe and successful school year.
Yours in partnership,
Fatima Jessa
