If you have any questions about your students' photos please reach out to CanGrad Studios.
Students who missed photo day in October will have a chance to have their individual photos taken on January 8. Parents and students will be notified by email if this applies to them.

Eco Committee wishes all York families a Green Holiday!
December 8 - 12, students and staff can bring in any gifts they might be giving over the winter break and have them sustainably, and beautifully, wrapped by our Eco Committee. Come to the Eco table in the cafeteria at lunch hour throughout this week and have your gifts wrapped while you eat!
December 15 - 18, York is encouraged to BYOM! Bring Your Own Mug, of course!
Students and staff can show their reusable mug to the Eco team at Reception each morning and earn house points, and have some free hot chocolate too, as a way to reduce our reliance on single-use cups in the cafeteria.
Questions? Contact Erin Porter, Director, Student Life & Belonging at eporter@yorkschool.com.
FINAL HOUSE CHALLENGE WEEK OF 2025! December 15 - 18
Students and staff are looking forward to the winter break, but not before we have one final spirit week of 2025!
With daily casual-dress theme days, lunch-hour activities and a House “Chilly Challenge” Spirit assembly, there is much to look forward to.
