The OCDSB will be launching an Indigenous Education Advisory Council (IEAC), to ensure collaborative work with our Indigenous parents and partners, and the delivery of Indigenous education in an inclusive and equitable manner. The OCDSB has a strong framework for community participation in school board decision-making.

The OCDSB values parental engagement. When parents share their ideas and offer constructive feedback, the school system is improved and students succeed. We are seeking your input regarding school climate. By completing our School Climate Survey for parents/guardians, your feedback will assist us in developing strategies to prevent bullying and to promote safe and inclusive schools for all students.

Please join us as we celebrate all our volunteers and celebrate our Community Recognition Award winners and nominees at our annual appreciation event.
