“A smooth transition contributes to a strong foundation for secondary school and beyond. “ Creating Pathways to Success
In an effort to support students with Special Education needs as they transition from elementary to secondary school, the YCDSB is inviting Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of students in Grade 7 and 8 who are currently receiving Special Education supports to attend an in-person information session to learn more about the following topics:
- the transition process from elementary to secondary;
- the nature of Special Education programs and supports at the secondary level;
- requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), the Ontario Secondary School Certificate (OSSC) or the Certificate of Accomplishment;
- types of courses, specialized programs and post-secondary pathways available to students with identified learning needs; and
- other key information to support the transition process.
