Dear Dr. Gordon Townsend School Families,
On behalf of the staff at Dr. Gordon Townsend School, I would like to welcome all students and their families to the 2022-2023 school year. As a staff, we are incredibly excited to welcome back our students, and reconnect with our families.
I am pleased to welcome Andrea Byrne, Assistant Principal to our team this year.
Andrea joins our team from Sir John A. MacDonald School. She has a background supporting students with complex needs and her expertise will be a great asset to our team.
Our first day of school Monday, August 15th. Classroom teams will contact each family prior to August 15th to go over all important back to school information.
Some reminders for a smooth start-up:
Please be sure to contact the school regarding student absences and lates. Parent(s)/guardian(s) are reminded of the importance that regular attendance and punctuality have on long-term student academic growth and success.
Please make sure that your demographic information is up-to-date and correct so that the school can contact you in a timely manner.
We look forward to connecting with all our students and caregivers in the coming days and weeks as we begin our exciting 2022-2023 learning journey. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Andrea Bryne, Assistant Principal, throughout the course of the year.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Edmondson-Neily
Principal
