The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 100 languages, but does not capture all languages or dialects.
The basic translation goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material. Before you act on translated information, we encourage you to confirm any facts that are important to you or may affect any decisions you make.
The Toronto District School Board is committed to equity and community engagement, and by providing this tool, we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English.
Cliffwood Public School is located near the intersection of Don Mills Road and Steeles Avenue. The school opened almost 50 years ago. In the last number of years we have gone from having completely open concept classrooms to partially open classrooms. We serve students representing 24 different language groups. More than 70% speak English as their second language. Cliffwood is a dual track school offering English and French Immersion (JK to Gr. 5) Many of our students speak English, Cantonese, or Mandarin at home. Other areas represented at Cliffwood include Korea, Japan, the Middle East, and Turkey.
Student safety is a top priority. Our Code of Behaviour is supported by a set of School Rules. We have high expectations for student behaviour and work collaboratively with parents to take advantage of the 'teachable moment'. All guests to the school are expected to sign in at the office and wear a badge to identify themselves as visitors. Our nut-free policy addresses the needs of students with nut allergies. We provide supervision of students at lunchtime through our lunchroom supervisors. Children eat seated in the gym and then go outside for the lunch recess. Expectations for student behaviour are posted in each classroom and within the student planner (Kindergarten - Grade 5).
