How can my student remember the schedule? 

All ODD calendar days follow a Day 1 Schedule. All EVEN calendar days follow a Day 2 Schedule. On Day 2’s, the AM classes flip and the PM classes flip.

When will my student receive a timetable?

Electronic version of Student timetables will be available before the first day of school via the TDSB Connects App, which can be downloaded via Google Play or the Apple App Store. Once downloaded, students will use their TDSB credentials to access the features of this app.
