A Message from your Administrators

Dear Langstaff Families and Community Members:

Wow! We are at the end of the 2025-2026 school year. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was writing the first message of the school year. We are getting ready for the last few events that take place to end a school year.

Our students are busy writing their exams and the last exams will take place on Monday, June 22. We know the students have studied hard for these exams and look forward to seeing their final marks. All students can come into school on Wednesday, June 24 from 8:25 am to 11:10 am (using our shortened alternate schedule that has been shared with students) to visit each class and see their final grades and look at their final exams.

On Wednesday, June 24, our graduating students will be crossing the stage in their caps and gowns, to receive their diplomas. We will also be acknowledging Ontario Scholars, recognizing Award winners and hearing a wonderful speech by our Valedictorian. This is truly a highlight of the school year.

As we head into the summer, we would like to thank all of you for your help and support with our students this year. We strongly believe that when parents are involved in their children's education students and schools benefit in a positive way. We look forward to working with you again in September. We are so proud of both our staff and students for all that they have accomplished this year. It has been quite a journey since September...

We have:

played volleyball, ultimate frisbee, basketball, soccer, golf, badminton, and ran track & field
performed, sculpted, acted, sketched, photo-shopped, and painted
Learned about Remembrance Day and the Holocaust
We wore Orange to remember Residential Schools, Pink for diversity and anti-bullying, and we wore Purple for Epilepsy just to name a few
We celebrated our students' academic achievement at two Awards Assemblies
Participated in math contest and science olympics
We dressed up for Spirit Days and raised money for good causes
Danced and celebrated at both the Boo Bash and Prom
Studied hard, written EQAO, completed summative assessments, culminating activities, and accumulated thousands of credits!

It has truly been an outstanding year! Congratulations to all of our graduates, we wish them all the best on their future endeavors.

Some important reminders:

Report cards for students in grades 9 - 11 will be sent directly to students' GAPPS accounts and will be available on the Family Portal
Grade 12 students can pick up their report cards, diplomas, and transcripts during the weeks of July 6 to July 9 and July 13 to July 16 (please note there will be an alternate entrance for the school during the summer as we are having construction on our roof)
Information regarding the next school year will be mailed to all students and families in July
Please pay the Student Activity Fee (necessary for participating in all Clubs and Teams, and discounts on School Events) as soon as possible over the summer prior to the start of the next school year

As we come to the end of another school year, I would like to take a moment to thank our students, families, staff, and community for your support, partnership, and commitment to making our school such a special place.

This year is particularly meaningful for me, as it marks not only the end of the school year, but also the conclusion of my 35-year career with the York Region District School Board. It has been an incredible privilege to serve as an educator and school leader, and I am especially grateful to have spent the final chapter of my career in a school community that I have come to love so deeply.

Thank you for the trust you have placed in me, for your kindness, and for the many memories we have created together. I will leave with a heart full of gratitude and tremendous pride in all that our students have accomplished.

As I begin my retirement, I do so knowing that the future is bright because of the remarkable young people, families, and educators who make up this community.

Wishing you and your families a safe, relaxing, and joyful summer.,

With heartfelt appreciation

Wishing everyone a safe and restful summer break!

Ms. S. Epstein

Principal

Relay for Life Wrap Up!!

Dear Langstaff Families and Community Members,

Now that Langstaff's Relay For Life 2026 has come to an end, we would like to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who helped make this event such a success.

Thanks to the incredible support and efforts of our students, staff, families, sponsors, and wider community, we are proud to share that together we raised $32,288.79 for the Canadian Cancer Society — surpassing our goal of $26,000 by over $6,000. This achievement would not have been possible without the generosity, dedication, and spirit of our Langstaff community.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the cancer survivors who joined us at this year's Relay For Life. Your strength, resilience, and courage are at the heart of this event, and it was truly meaningful to have you with us.

A special thank you goes to Mina Greenstein for sharing her story with our community. Her strength and optimism left a lasting impact on our event and reminded us of the importance of why we come together for Relay.

We are also deeply grateful to our generous sponsors for their support:

Baked At Mina's
KS Cutz (Halit)
Angus Glen Gold Club
Best Buy
Tim Hortons
Costco
Richvale Kumon
Barrie Persian Association
Chef Hanji
Mortgage Alliance Sorento

We would also like to thank all the teachers, caretakers, and administrators who volunteered their time and energy to help make this event possible.

A special thank you goes to Ms. Burley and Ms. Pacheco for their guidance, encouragement, and unwavering dedication throughout the planning and execution of Relay. Their support and hear work were essential to the success of this year's Relay for Life.

Finally, we are incredibly proud of our Relay For Life Committee. Months of planning, fundraising, promoting, and organizing led to an unforgettable event and an impact that will extend far beyond a single day.

While raising such an incredible amount of money is an amazing accomplishment, what matters most is seeing our school come together in support of such an important cause. Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, and cheered us on along the way. The spirit of our Bears truly shone through at this year's Relay For Life.
