Boundary Change - September 2010
Silverheights Public School - Grade 9 students living in the Mattamy-Townline neighbourhood Please be advised that the boundary changes approved by the Waterloo Region District School Board on June 23, 2008 for your community included a change for the secondary school from Jacob Hespeler Secondary School to Preston High School. This means that your Grade 8 student now at Silverheights Public School will be directed to Preston High School for Grade 9 for September 2010. Transportation to Preston High School will be provided by the WRDSB, and information in that regard will follow later in the year. Current Grade 9 to 12 students from your neighbourhood now at JHSS are certainly entitled to complete their secondary program there and their transportation will continue until the last student is phased out. They may also switch to PHS if families wish to have all their children at the same secondary school. Streets that are affected in the Mattamy-Townline subdivision include: Arthur Fach Dr, Baggs Cres, Baintree Way, Brayshaw Dr, Bugdale Dr, Coulthard Blvd, Dellgrove Cir, Garth Massey Dr, Glazebrook Cres, Goreing St, Longspur Way, Mayo Ave, Nancroft Cres, Redstart Dr, Senior Cres, Townline Rd, Zieman Cres. Should you have any questions, please contact the WRDSB Planning Department at 519-570-0003, Ext. 4419. Chris Smith, Manager of Planning |
