Next Year Course Changes – Important Update for Students

Posted June 11, 2026

Students wishing to make a necessary pathway course change for next year – you are able to book an appointment with your guidance counsellor starting Monday, June 15th. Your counsellor will review your potential course change with you and provide the necessary form to have signed/completed.

  • At this time, we are focusing on changes necessary to support students’ pathways (ex. a missing course for post-secondary plans or graduation, failed credits, etc.)
  • Any changes should be at grade level (reach ahead switches not possible at this time due to limited space in courses)
  • Students wishing to swap elective courses – you will have an opportunity to request changes when we return in September and such requests will not be processed this June. Details about this process will be posted prior to the start of school this fall.

WRDSB GOOGLE ACCOUNTS:
Students graduating this semester or who are leaving the WRDSB, please be aware that your Google Drive and email accounts will be closed a few weeks after semester one ends.  You are STRONGLY recommended to back up all documents and emails to your personal drive/accounts before the end of the semester.  Apps such as Google Takeout can make the process easier (see link below).

To assist with this process, you are recommended to link your WRDSB account with a personal Google account AND ensure you are connected to strong, stable Wifi.  If you have many files/emails to backup, be warned that this process can be slow so give yourself adequate time to move your material.  AND – if you have any sites that use your WRDSB email for access, you should switch those to a personal email (such as YouTube, Canva, etc.).
