Summer Mailing
Back-to-School 2024-25
Greetings From CDS!
Dear CDS Parents/Guardians,
Before you know it, we will be welcoming your children back on campus! We trust that you and your family have been enjoying the summer months and are starting to prepare for Back to School in September.
The coming year will see the school’s enrolment crest 800 students once again as a result of strong enrolment across all grades. In addition to more than 130 new students arriving, we will welcome two new faculty members in September, veteran CDS Science teacher and former Head of Science, Brian Hendry, and new Associate Teacher for Science in Middle/Senior School, Carmen Chu.
We look forward to gathering as a community at our annual Welcome Back BBQ on the first day of school, Wednesday, September 4th, from 2:30 - 4:00 pm on Hawksworth Field, and we hope your family is able to join us.
Behind the scenes and walls, there has been much work accomplished over the summer across our campus. Roadwork will still be ongoing on Dufferin Street upon our return to school as the Township continues to run utilities both to the school and King’s new arena and community centre up the street. And, as is the case every year, our Facilities team has been massively busy preparing the school in every manner and fashion for your return.
Since September will be here soon, please find below all the information that you need to know to start the school year off on the right foot.
I hope that the remainder of your summer is peaceful and safe, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in September!
Warm regards,
John Liggett
Head of School
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
