Boarding Communications and Contact Information

Boarding Communications and Contact Information

Boarding Family Communications
All Boarding students belong to a Boarding Family Group, headed by a Boarding Advisor, which helps to ensure that each student is well-known and cared for at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ. The Boarding Advisor will meet with their Boarding Family Group regularly during the academic year to discuss life skills and pastoral care. Parents and guardians receive the weekly Friday File East email newsletter, which includes highlights and events from the Boarding community. Parents are welcome to communicate with the Boarding team at any time using the email boarding@branksome.on.ca. Boarding will host virtual Fireside Chats throughout the year to provide updates and connect with families.
 
Attendance
To ensure continuity of care and student safety, only the Director of Boarding, the Assistant Director of Boarding, the Boarding Life Coordinator or the Health Centre Team can excuse a Boarding student from school whilst living in residence. If a student is with a parent/guardian during the school week or is on leave for illness, appointments or family events, the parent/guardian should email attendance@branksome.on.ca each morning and copy boarding@branksome.on.ca to ensure accurate attendance records and so the Boarding Team can ensure students' safety.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*

*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.

Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
