School Council Corner | Family Ambassador Program | |
You can engage in your child’s learning at home and school in many ways. This includes getting involved with the school council. The school council provides advice on school matters and helps to strengthen the important relationship between schools, families and their communities. The council includes family members, school staff and community members.
Thank you to all the parents/guardians who joined us for our first School Council meeting. We will meet next on Monday, December 1 virtually. All are welcome! | Check out our Family Ambassador Program brochures! These will be updated early this fall with new and returning volunteers.Consider joining as an ambassador to support new families to Bond Lake especially if your home language is not listed. This will allow for the school community to reach more families. Please email tammy.dillon@yrdsb.ca to express your interest.

Fresh From the Farm Pick Up: Thank you to all of our families for supporting the Fresh From The Farm Fundraiser. If you have ordered items you would have received an email regarding pick up. The pick up date is Wednesday November 19th, 2025 from 7:30am-3:30pm. We are unable to hold the items as they are perishable items. Please pick up the items in person as they are heavy and students will not be able to bring
them home without adult assistance.

Safe School Zone Changes: The City of Richmond Hill has added speed bumps along Old Colony Road. With the addition of speed bumps, the City of Richmond Hill has also added additional no-parking zones. This was approved by the City of Richmond Hill, not by the school. If you have any concerns please reach out to the City of Richmond Hill. We will be updating our Safe School Zone Drive to 5 Map to reflect the changes.

Humankind Toronto Sock Drive: Once again this year, we have partnered with Le Club to participate in Humankind Toronto’s Sock Drive benefiting local non-profit organizations like 360 Kids. This year, No More Cold Feet, will be running from November 5 through November 28.Socks are one of the most requested yet least donated items in local shelters today. This November, consider donating a pair of new, thick, warm socks for adults or children. The donation box will be available in the front foyer all month long. Please see the flyer for more information and give generously!
Student Pick-Up: A reminder to all families that the end of the school day is a very busy time and all staff are actively engaged in supporting students to prepare for the transition home. To help ensure student safety, we ask that parents/guardians not pick students up between 2:00-2:25 pm.
