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. 

Back-to-School Forms

Parents/guardians received an email from YRDSB Update with instructions to complete back-to-school 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. Elementary school students do not need to complete these student forms. 

If you are interested in learning about School Council and how you can make our BHSS community even better, join us for our School Council meeting about this Tuesday in our Learning Commons (Library) at 6:30 pm. 

We will share our September highlights and upcoming events. Elections will also take place. 

Please see the attached School Council Nomination Form and bring it to the meeting. 

All are welcome!


 

Student Services has sent out communications to the students they support. If you or your child have not received a message, please check your junk/spam folder, as some TeachAssist emails are being automatically routed there.
