Dear Parents and Guardians:
The New East Guelph (Couling Crescent) School Boundary Review moves into its next
phase this month, with the release of Report #2. The report will be presented to the Business
Operations Committee for information on April 14. A copy is available at
www.ugdsb.on.ca/egbr.
Board Staff have put forward just one scenario, proposing that the attendance area for the
new school would be bounded by (clockwise) Victoria Road, Eramosa Road, Guelph Lake,
Jones Baseline and Stone Road. A map showing the proposed boundary appears on the
reverse side of this letter.
The “Interim Holding Boundary” shown on the map is a portion of the final attendance area.
As decided by trustees last February, the former Tytler PS will become a “holding school”
until the new school on Couling Crescent is completed (no later than September 2017). JK-3
FI students residing in this area will attend Tytler PS for the 2015-2016 school year,
growing to JK-4 FI in 2016-2017.
The intended organization of the Couling Crescent school is as a JK-8 FI Centre, but it will
take some time for that grade structure to be fully realized. If the new school opens in
September 2017, it would be with JK-5 students from the holding area, joined by JK-5
students reassigned from École King George PS. The school would grow to become JK-8 in
2020. Report #2 discusses a possible delayed implementation for Grades 7 and 8 if there are
insufficient students for a viable intermediate division.
To learn more about the boundary review please come to the public information session at
École King George PS on Wednesday, April 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. There will be a
presentation from Board Staff followed by a Q & A.
Your input will be an important consideration in the writing of the final boundary review
report, and the decision of the Board of Trustees on June 23. You can share your thoughts at
the public information session, through the online feedback form, or by delegating at
upcoming standing committee and board meetings.
Yours truly,
Randy Dewey, Principal
