Welcoming Newcomers

When your child registers with UCDSB, the staff at the school will:  

    • Welcome the family with an intake interview 
    • Conduct an English and Math initial assessment to see where your child's learning is at 
    • Continue to monitor and track their English proficiency progress 

 

Creating a welcoming and inclusive school environment for English language learners is a whole-school activity requiring the commitment of administrators, teachers, support staff, and other leaders within the school community. The reward for this committed effort is a dynamic and vibrant school environment that celebrates diversity as an asset and enriches the learning experience of all students. 

Many schools have Ambassador programs to help ease the transition and allow for new students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds to ask questions and have a group of peers to turn to when they find themselves in need of information.The secondary goal of this program is to help build a climate of acceptance for our incoming students who require more support due to linguistic or cultural differences.
