Grand Erie Set to Welcome Students Back on September 4
Grand Erie District School Board’s elementary and secondary schools re-open on Tuesday, September 4 with staff ready to welcome new and returning students as well as their families for the 2018-19 school year.
“Lots of work goes on behind the scenes during the summer months as staff prepare our schools and our classrooms for the new year,” said Brenda Blancher, Director of Education. “With that work now complete, we’re excited for the start of the new school year. This fall, we enter the third year of our Multi-Year Plan – Success for Every Student. Thanks to the efforts of staff across the Board, we’ve made significant progress on behalf of students through this plan and I look forward to seeing this great work continue this year.”
Back to School – Important Information to Know:
- It’s not too late to register for school. Grand Erie’s registration process can be found here. Registration dates for secondary schools vary. Find the school-specific dates and times on the events calendar.

Thank you Queensview Retirement Community for donating $1,000 to our playground fundraiser
In an effort to build a better school playground we are trying to raise money for two playground structures with landscaping. This project will make a positive difference for 400+ elementary students at North Ward School. The estimated costs to complete the project is $75,000 to $100,000. Our school has raised approximately $11,000 through our recent Danceathon. Thank you to Queensview Retirement Community and R.T . Systems Inc. for donating $1000 each to our important cause.
For charitable donations of $1,000 or more, we can provide a charitable donation receipt, an acknowledgement on our outdoor school sign (see photo) and an acknowledgement in our school website. We will also include the name of the business or community group on a permanent plaque displayed inside our school.
