Looking for summer learning and fun activities for students entering Senior Kindergarten to Grade 8? Summer Institute offers academic, recreational and athletic programs and activities with intentional links to the Ontario Curriculum. The program runs for six weeks during July and August. It is offered at nine school sites around York Region. For more information on dates, programs and locations, please visit the Summer Institute webpage. Registration opens in Spring 2026.
Also offered is Grade 6, 7 and 8 Elementary Summer School (In-Person and Remote Learning). This 15-day literacy and numeracy program is designed to reinforce curriculum and is not an acceleration opportunity. Students must register in the program for their current school grade. (For example, a grade 7 student would register for the grade 7 program as it reinforces grade 7 content.) Additional resources are being added to this program to support student success in de-streamed Grade 9 programs. This program will be offered both in-person and through remote learning. Students must select their preference of learning model at the time of registration. The program will operate from July 6 to July 24, 2026 (8:45 am – 3:25 pm). For more information, including registration information, see the linked Elementary Summer School webpage. Registration opens Wednesday, February 25, 2026.

Next Wednesday –February 25th, 2026—is Pink Shirt Day.
Pink Shirt Day emphasizes kindness and the importance of lifting each other up. We will have pink shirts on display throughout our school, where students share how they support mattering and belonging at Rosedale Heights P.S. If you are in the school, please be sure to read some of them!
The origins of this day trace back to 2007, when Nova Scotia secondary students David Shepherd and Travis Price saw a grade nine student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. In an effort to stand up for the student, they purchased 50 pink shirts and distributed them to other students, who wore them in solidarity. Since David and Travis’ act of kindness in 2007, the spirit of their effort has grown each year. Over the past number of years, people in almost 180 countries shared their support of Pink Shirt Day through social media posts and donations. (For more information, visit the official website for Pink Shirt Day.)
Please encourage your child to wear a Pink shirt to school on February 25, 2026. Let’s engage in kindness and stand up to bullying next Wednesday, and every day.
We are excited to see our Primary and Junior Students (K- Grade 6) and their families at our upcoming Family Literacy Night on Thursday, March 5th, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. We will share fun, simple ways to build literacy into everyday routines. Join us and enjoy hands-on activities and games with your child while promoting literacy skills!
On Tuesday, February 17th it will be Lunar New Year! We welcome all those who celebrate the holiday to dress up in traditional New Year clothing, if they wish. And we welcome all our students to get into the spirit, even in the absence of traditional clothing, by dressing in red on Tuesday, February 17th. The colour red is thought to symbolize good luck, so please help us usher in the Year of the Horse with some colourful good fortune!
