Contact Information
We ask families to ensure the school office has the most up-to-date contact information. This is important in case of emergency situations. If your contact information has changed, please notify the school office.
School Start-Up Forms
Parents/guardians received an email from YRDSB Update with instructions to complete start-up forms. It is important that these forms are completed as soon as possible at the start of the school year as they contain information and permissions.
The forms can be found in the family dashboard at family.yrdsb.ca . Click on the arrow by your child’s name and select the start-up forms button. You can choose your language. Please follow these steps for each child. Forms will automatically populate with your child’s information through the Dashboard.
Learn how to create a Family Dashboard account if you do not have one.
The forms are also available online at https://startupforms.yrdsb.ca . You will need your child’s student number. Tips are available on the Board website. Translation is also available on the website.
Please note: You must complete a separate form for each child attending school. If you prefer to complete the forms on paper or have questions about the information in the forms, please contact the school office.
Secondary School Student Forms
Secondary school students can complete the secondary school student form at https://startupforms.yrdsb.ca/students . They will also receive the link in their student GAPPS account.

Terry Fox Run Sept 25
Sutton District High School is hosting their annual Terry Fox Run on Thursday September 25th. This marks the 45th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope and with that in mind, Sutton has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $1600. Students will be organizing a variety of events as well as canvassing classrooms in order to raise funds towards our goal. We look forward to celebrating this milestone anniversary with our entire school.
See Ms. Roncato for more information.
