TDSB ward meeting for Willowdale was held on May 29 at Arbor Glen. Some good news for Arbor and other schools in the area. Thanks for everyone who came to the meeting.
See Candy’s note for more details ( edited a little bit to hide some personal information ):
HI all
I would like to share these wonderful news with you, especially for those that are not able to come to the meeting last night:
According to Mari Rutka, our school trustee, under the latest Program Revitalization:
Arbor Glen, Cliffwood and Highland Junior will remain status quo i.e. no change
The boundary for A.Y. Jackson will also remain unchanged. New programs will be reviewed for both A.Y. Jackson and George Vanier. However this will not bring any change to the boundary for both A.Y. Jackson. This means that the number of students being admitted to A.Y. Jackson from our community will be the same.
Three cheers!!!
Thanks very much for all the hard work from everyone. You have been such a wonderful team to work with. Especially for Li who’s been very diligent in maintaining the blog, being our voice to the group and coordinating with other school groups. Also Pat for her great input and advice from her expertise in the education field, sound recommendation from her passion for the teaching profession and her love for the community.
Ann, great appreciation for putting the names of the petition together, we are so glad that we don’t have to use this as our backup plan. We will surely save it for the future if school issue warrant the use of it. Thanks again and good luck to your upcoming exams. Please also express our gratitude for the enthusiastic support from your classmates and friends.
Have a wonderful summer and let’s welcome the new principal to Arbor Glen in the new school year. Her current school does have a good academic record (in EQAO). Let’s all work together to ensure that the excellent achievement we have been enjoying here at Arbor Glen will be sustained under the new leadership. All our efforts as concerned parents and closely knitted neighbourhood count.
Take good care and all the very best.
Candy
