Thames Valley District School Board Update
Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) to schools in their ridings to see schools in action. As MPPs are responsible for the laws that govern school boards and the funding we receive to operate, these visits help MPPs to experience the impact of legislation and funding decisions on schools in the community. Community Engagement May and June are active months in schools, with Track and Field, fun fairs, award ceremonies and graduations. It’s been a pleasure to join in community events with students and celebrate their milestones and achievements with them. We appreciate the opportunity to support students on their education journey as elected officials and look forward to continued celebrations of success for TVDSB students in the future. Your Voice Matters As always, we are eager to hear from you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or email. Our information is below, and we hope you will reach out.

This month, we congratulate TVDSB students on completing a year of learning and thank the dedicated staff of the board for their work in supporting students in their learning throughout the year. We also thank the many family members and community volunteers for their contributions to making our schools such great places in the community. New Schools for TVDSB We couldn’t have been happier to see construction well underway when the board held kickoff ceremonies – two in London, one in Woodstock – this past month. These schools will have attached childcare spaces and are set to open in September 2025. The process is currently underway for TVDSB families to select names for these new schools. We are also happy to announce that TVDSB has received provincial funding for two schools in London (West and Southeast), bringing the total of new schools funded to three alongside funding for a new school in Lucan. Changes to Provincial Policy In September 2024, revisions to provincial policy regarding cell phones and vaping at schools will come into effect. The Ministry of Education is working on how the policy will be directed and implemented at the school board level but we will share additional information with the community when it becomes available. Visiting Schools with MPPs As trustees, we visit schools in wards 7, 8, 9,10 and 13 throughout the year. In May, we had a special opportunity to take local Fur Paws Only Salon & Boarding
