The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation?s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

York Region District School Board is serviced by four Outdoor Education facilities. Each student in grades 2, 4 and 7 will have the opportunity to attend one of these centres for one school day each year. All of the individual programs are driven by specific curricular expectations.
Outdoor education is an experiential process of learning that fosters an understanding and appreciation of the elements and interrelationships that exist within the natural environment.
Our programs are designed to support and enrich the Ontario Curriculum. We provide opportunities for students to enjoy positive experiences in the out of doors. Developing a positive relationship with nature will promote respect and understanding of the natural world. This, we believe, will encourage students to tread lightly on our planet and ultimately lead to the development of a personal environmental ethic and a call to positive action.
