2019-2020 School Year

We understand that parents and students have questions and concerns regarding moving to Stratford Northwestern for the 2019-2020 school year.    

We will be addressing these questions beginning in September 2018.  We will also be soliciting input from all our stakeholders (parents, students, teachers, trustees) regarding this transition at that time.

Our committee will continue to provide updates on the Avon-Maitland District School Board website as the project proceeds through its phases.
We are excited by the programming possibilities that this project presents for our students and look forward to working with our community on enhancing educational opportunities within both schools to help develop 21st century learners in the years to come.
