Dear Parents/Guardians,
We have settled into a nice routine now in our third week back at Cairine Wilson. Thank you for your patience as we work through our revised policies and procedures aimed at keeping us all as safe as possible. This includes sanitizing classrooms daily, as well as high traffic touchpoints multiple times a day. Our revised student drop off and pick up for parents has now been shifted to Orleans blvd as well.
Please find the full year OCDSB calendar by cohort embedded in this link.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to refine our curriculum delivery.
Jennifer Coleman
Principal, Cairine Wilson Secondary School

A Message from Student Services regarding course selection
Hello Parents and Students,
We hope you and your families had a safe and relaxing holiday season. From all the staff at Cairine Wilson Secondary School, Happy New Year!
We are nearing the time in the school year when students select their courses for the following year. Due to the ever-evolving nature of the pandemic and the recent closure of schools, this process has been delayed. Students will be notified as soon as we have more information regarding the course selection process - keep checking our school website for updates and students and parents should not hesitate to contact one of the guidance counsellors with any questions:
In the past, students have used the online platform called Career Cruising to select their courses. Career Cruising has been replaced by a new platform called Xello. Students can access their Xello account by going to the OCDSB homepage, select Student Portal, select Login, then use their school email address as their username and password to login. After they've logged in, they can select the Xello tile and have a look at this new platform and some of the resources that are available to them. For example, Xello has some helpful career exploration tools that students can use, such as Matchmaker.
Let us know if you have any questions. Please stay safe and take care.
