Friday, September 20, 2019 is a professional development (PD) day for elementary and secondary school staff. Students will not attend school, and all Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) operated before and after school programs will be closed.

In the morning, all our educators and elementary paraprofessional staff (EA/CYW/DECE) will participate in activities reflecting our Strategic Plan and Operational Goals for Student Achievement and Well-Being, followed by an afternoon of mandatory Health and Safety training.

Our secondary paraprofessional staff will be engaged in professional learning at their school site, including the opportunity to complete the mandatory Health and Safety training.

Our before and after school programs will not be operating so that our staff are able to participate in these important learning and training opportunities. For community operated before and after school programs, please verify closure dates with your provider.
