Ottawa Carleton District School Board

Hello Students, Today, OCDSB students and staff marked the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. This is a day of mourning and remembrance for Indigenous Peoples, and offers an opportunity to reflect and honour survivors, their families, and their communities.

Hello Students, Earlier this week, rallies were held across the country and on Parliament Hill “against how schools teach gender ideology”. This has become very divisive and commonly pits claims for parental rights, protection of children, and indoctrination against claims of hate, transphobia, and safety. These demonstrations foster a culture of hate and fear.

Hello Students, As the transportation disruptions continue, we understand the frustrations you and your families are experiencing. We are very sorry that OCDSB families have to go through this. As Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA) works towards solutions in the coming weeks, we thank you for your kindness and understanding shown towards school bus drivers and request that everyone continues to do so. Please continue to use the Parent Portal and monitor the route cancellations for up-to-date information.

Hello Students, These weekly updates will provide you with information to help you navigate the school year.
