ACTION REQUIRED FOR ALL JUNE GRADUATES: COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT HOURS
Our records show that many students have not yet completed the required 40 hours of community involvement. Some students still need to submit a few remaining hours, while others have not submitted any hours to date. Please remember that completing 40 hours of community involvement is a mandatory requirement to graduate and receive the OSSD. Guidance does not provide volunteer placements for students.
All volunteer hours must be submitted by June 5th so they can be processed for graduation purposes. Students who do not complete and submit their hours will not receive their diplomas until the hours a fully completed. We understand that some students may be completing volunteer hours at elementary school year-end events in June. If this applies to your child, please ensure they inform their counselor so we are aware of their plans.
Please note that submissions containing a large number of hours from a single organization may require additional
verification to ensure they meet volunteer criteria before they can be accepted.
If your child has completed hours that have not yet been submitted, please upload them promptly.
Thank you for your attention to this important graduation requirement.

Community Safety Reminder: “Senior Assassin” Game
York Regional Police have advised schools of a recent re-emergence of the “Senior Assassin” game, where students use water guns, air guns, gel blasters, or similar items to “eliminate” other participants. While often intended as a game, police are reminding the community that many of these items can closely resemble real firearms.
When police respond to a call involving a possible weapon, it is treated as a real threat until confirmed otherwise. This can lead to serious and potentially dangerous situations. There have been instances where replica or toy firearms were mistaken for real weapons, with significant consequences.
Families should also be aware that the use of replica firearms, including water guns, air guns or
gel blasters, in a way that causes harm, damage, or fear may result in criminal charges. There may be civil liability if someone is injured or property is damaged.
Please note that, in accordance with YRDSB Policy #668.0, weapons and replica weapons are strictly prohibited on school property and at school-related events. Any student engaging in this game, or in
violation of this policy, may also face school consequences.
We ask parents/guardians to speak with their children about the risks associated with these activities and to monitor access to items that fire projectiles. The safety of our students and community is our shared responsibility.
