Settlement and Education Partnership in York Region (SEPYR)  – New to Canada? Do you have a child enrolled in a York Region Public school? We’re here to help you. Funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, SEPYR provides settlement services in many languages for newcomer students and their families in their local schools. Through this program, we are pleased to offer newcomer families support in the following areas: education, employment, language training, housing, health, family related issues, youth issues, finances, library/recreation and more. We have a settlement worker who can speak Mandarin, at Parkview Public School on Monday mornings to support you. You can contact the School Settlement Worker:

We will be hosting our Annual Student Book Exchange in February this year.  Starting Monday, February 5th, students can bring in books they no longer wish to read.   From the selection of books donated, participating students will be able to select books to take home starting Tuesday, February 13th. We will send home additional details in our January Newsletter (to be shared at the end of the month).

We would like to remind all of our families that our goal is to work together to support the well-being of all our students. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to working in partnership with our Parkview Community.
