WCDSB chromebooks – return, or keep for the next academic year?
Graduating Gr. 12 students and Gr. 9-12 students NOT returning to St. Mary’s next school year who were loaned a WCDSB chromebook are to return their chromebook and its charging cord to the Main Office between Monday, June 19 and Tuesday, June 27. NOTE: This does NOT include SEA devices issued by the Assistive Technology Office.
Students returning to St. Mary’s for the 2023- 2024 school year can keep their assigned chromebook over the summer.
If a student is graduating but taking a summer course, please email Ms. VanderHeide, School Librarian (Christine.vanderheide@wcdsb.ca) to notify her of this and to arrange return of the device when the course is finished.
If a school-assigned chromebook is damaged or not working, please bring it to Ms. VanderHeide’s office in the library so she can send the damaged device for repair as soon as possible.

Multi-Year Strategic Plan – Feedback from the Community
The Waterloo Catholic District School Board prides itself on being the Heart of the Community, providing Success for Each and A Place for All. With this Vision, we have developed our new WCDSB Multi-Year Strategic Plan (2022-2025) (MYSP). This short video from Director Tyrone Dowling summarizes the process, content and goals for our new Strategic Plan. This plan was approved by the Board of Trustees in December 2022.
At this time, we are gathering feedback to assist with our ongoing monitoring of the implementation of the current MYSP. We are inviting all staff, parents/guardians, and community members to provide feedback on our new MYSP plan (one per family/staff). Your input is valued and appreciated.
The survey will take less than 8 minutes to complete and will be available until May 23rd @ 8am.
