Plans for New K - 12 School Made Public
Preliminary plans were revealed to the community at a joint School Council meeting on Wed. Feb. 24 at WDSS. Positive reviews were the hallmark of the presentation and it is hoped that the project will quickly gain provincial approval. Demolition of the east wing of WDSS will begin after March Break and construction is slated to begin this summer. Below is an artist's rendering of the outside of the new school. In the next months, the process of getting ready for this move will be accelerated, with lots of planning and community input required to get ready for this exciting new chapter in Walkerton public education.

Changes to the 2010/2011 School Calendar for All Ontario Schools
Next September public elementary schools across Ontario will begin following a five-day instructional day cycle. The Tuesday after Labour Day will be Day 1, with the subsequent days following through the five-day rotation, exclusive of holidays and PD days.

At the same time, an alternating full-day JK/SK cycle will be introduced. Children will follow an A and B day cycle that alternates through the year, exclusive of holidays and PD days. We think that once the initial adjustment period has passed, parents will find this schedule easier to follow.  

We realize these changes may present some challenges for parents and daycare providers, but they will allow for consistency of programming throughout the school year. If you have questions or require further information please contact us.
