The Every Student Counts Survey is now available until May 12, 2023. 

Student and family input is important to us. The York Region District School Board is conducting the Every Student Counts Survey with students (Grades K-12) to help us better understand our student population and school communities. 

The survey information was sent home with all students in Kindergarten through to Grade 3. As of today, only 48 of the 188 surveys have been completed. Our Grades 4-8 students completed the survey here at school and we have a high participation rate as a result. We are asking parents to take ten minutes to complete the survey for YRDSB and for Bakersfield to help give us a better picture.

If you have any questions about the survey or have lost your survey information, please contact our Vice Principal, Ms. Sher at stephanie.sher@yrdsb.ca 

THANK YOU for your support!

Our Intermediate students are working on their 20 time projects. Some of our students are organizing events, some are supporting charities, some are working on special projects around the school and others are dabbling in the Arts. Here is one of the 20 time projects where students are making care packages for babies and teens who are undergoing treatment at Sick Kids Hospital. Students in Grades 4-8 have a jar in their classroom to collect change for building care packages. Please see their poster below.
