Dear TCDSB Families,
Tuesday, September 5th marks the beginning of a new school year! We look forward to welcoming students back to school. To help you and your child(ren) prepare, we’ve compiled a list of general information and resources for you to review, so you’ll know what to expect at your child’s school and the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB).
School Communications
Please take a few minutes to review and register for the following important school-related information:
- TCDSB Website: From community engagement opportunities and events to news and policies, stay up to date on Board-related information.
- TSTG Bus Transportation Portal (bus students only): The Toronto Student Transportation Group (TSTG) portal provides online access to your child’s transportation information and up to the minute email notifications regarding school bus cancellations or delays.
- SchoolMessenger/Safe Arrival: Easily report your child’s absences and receive school communications throughout the year including cancellations, closures and other critical issues.
