The Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) is one of the larger school boards in Ontario. We serve approximately 42,000 elementary students and 20,000 secondary students in 121 schools in the Region of Waterloo. From Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12, our schools provide instruction designed to develop in our students the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to provide a solid foundation for living and learning. We are proud of our staff and their commitment to the learning and development of our students. Many of our staff have been recognized locally, provincially and nationally as the best in their fields. Our students regularly achieve a wide variety of honours in academics, fine arts and athletics. Our graduates have great success as they pursue further education and rewarding careers. We value parent involvement in our schools and welcome parents to become active in their local school council. In 2016, our trustees led the development of a new Strategic Plan with input from a broad range of staff, students, families, caregivers and our many stakeholders. The plan consists of three priorities, each with associated outcomes that guide the work of this board in delivering first class public education to Waterloo Region.
