Feedback Wanted – Assignment of Students to Schools

Dear parents/guardians,

Tri-County Regional Centre for Education (TCRCE) is looking for your input as we examine opportunities to clarify unclear border areas within a small number of school catchment areas.

You are receiving this email because you have a student who attends one of the schools where families and/or school staff may have questions as to which school students should attend. In some cases, students are attending a school that’s located further from their closest community school.

We are now seeking your feedback. For a full list of the proposed geographical changes and details how to contact us, please visit: https://www.tcrce.ca/assignment-of-students-to-schools/.

It is important students attend the school that makes the most sense geographically, while reducing travel time and balancing class sizes. We are committed to keeping you informed and appreciate your feedback throughout this process.

Sincerely,

Dr. Chris Boulter

TCRCE Regional Director of Education
