Welcome Back, TRS Community! We hope everyone had a wonderful summer filled with time to relax, recharge, and make special memories together. There is a wonderful energy around Terrace Road School as we begin a new school year, and we are so excited to welcome our students, families, and staff back to our school community. A new year brings new opportunities to learn, grow, build friendships, and create lasting memories. As we get settled into our routines, we look forward to working together to make this a year filled with Kindness, Community, and Heart. Welcome back—we are so glad you’re here!!

Corn Roast

We are excited to kick off the 2026–27 school year by bringing our TRS community together for one of our favourite annual traditions! Join us on Thursday, September 17 for our Open House from 4:00–6:00 p.m., followed by our Annual Corn Roast from 6:00–8:00 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends, meet new members of our community, visit classrooms, and celebrate the beginning of another great year at Terrace Road School. More details will be shared in the coming week, but for now, please save the date and plan to come together with us as we celebrate the start of our 2026–27 school year! We can’t wait to see you there!

Year Focus

This year, we will continue to hold firmly to our commitment to meet the needs of every student, every day. No excuses. As educators, our responsibility is to know our students well, recognize their strengths and areas for growth, and continually adapt our practice so that every child has the opportunity to succeed. We are also entering Year 3 of our School Development Plan, with a continued focus on strengthening student learning in Writing and developing both conceptual understanding and procedural fluency in Mathematics. These areas will remain central to our professional learning, collaborative work, and classroom practice throughout the year. Underlying all of this work will be our ongoing focus on Student Engagement—asking ourselves how we can intentionally build classrooms, common spaces, and learning environments where students feel a genuine sense of belonging, connection, and purpose. We want every student to know that their voice matters, that their ideas are valued, and that they play an important role in shaping their own learning and our school community. Our goal is not simply to improve achievement, but to create the conditions where every student can feel known, supported, challenged, and empowered to do their very best.

Bell Times

Our Bell Times remain the same this year, except for our PM kindergarten class that will run from 12:19 each day and end with other students at 3:16. Kindergarten will alternate Fridays, with AM attending one Friday, and PM attending the next.

School Safety

Please be mindful of the following in order to keep our community safe:

-Please keep the bus zone clear in the mornings and after school.

-Please do not cut through our parking lot by walking as teachers are arriving and vision is blurred

-Do to supervision and exisiting plans in place, please know that there will be no drop-in appointments entertained this year. We are all happy to meet, but those meetings must be scheduled.

-ALL ADULTS MUST ENTER THE BUILDING FROM THE FRONT DOOR. This is an ongoing safety issue, and we simply cannot have adults in our halls.
