This exciting 10 day partial service trip to Cuba is open to all NTCI students with priority given to students studying Spanish and/or Music. Although a 10 day trip, only 4 school days will be missed due to a PA Day, Family Day and 2 weekends. For information please attend the parent/student meeting on Wednesday, September 26 at 6 p.m. in Rm. 215 or contact Ms. Elliott or Mr. Varahidis. The start of the school year always includes the signing of forms! Students were given a package when they picked up timetables which should be signed and returned to the school in a timely manner. The package includes a permission /consent form, a medical information form, a student handbook acknowledgement form, a field trip/excursion form and a physical education information and intramural permission form. Please access the school website for two letters to the school community: a welcome letter from Trustee Laskin and a letter to inform the school community that a service animal will be in the school starting on Sept 17. Service animals are trained and recognized by an accredited training facility and are able to assist with many of the routine activities which may pose as challenging for some students. A service dog will be supporting one of our students in each of her classes throughout the school day. Students and staff within these classrooms will receive more direct instruction and training as to the proper procedures and conduct when around the animal. Please refer to the posted letter for further information. We are here to assist your son/daughter and to make his/her experience at North Toronto as smooth and as enjoyable as possible. Please feel free to contact any member of the school administration with any concerns or questions.
