Dear Families,
As we conclude another remarkable school year, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Your unwavering support, dedication, and involvement in Catholic education have been instrumental in shaping a year filled with hope, growth, and achievement.
Before we conclude this school year, I wanted to share a few updates:
Multi-Year Strategic Plan
This year, we have concluded our Multi-Year Strategic Plan 2020-2025. Please watch the following video, which highlights our greatest accomplishments from this past year.
ALCDSB MYSP - Year 5 In Review
For more information on our accomplishments this past year, please review the MYSP summaries and scorecards, found on our board website: Multi-Year Strategic Plan 2020-2025 – Our Board – Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board
I look forward to launching our new Multi-Year Strategic Plan this Fall, which will highlight our collective goals and aspirations for 2025-2030. Rooted in our Catholic faith and guided by the voices of our students, staff, families, and communities, this plan will chart a hopeful and ambitious path forward—one that deepens our commitment to excellence, equity, and well-being across our system.
