OCSB First Day | Opening doors to a new school year – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

Our ever-growing community has opened the doors to a brand new school year! We were thrilled to witness the positivity and camaraderie amongst students and staff as they embraced #ocsbFirstDay and reconnected with one another. With much excitement and anticipation, we are proud to have opened the doors to two brand-new elementary schools. We’re excited for the fun-filled year ahead for all of our students and staff!

Just love first day smiles, the excitement of reconnecting, and the joy in making a new friend. #ocsbFirstDay pic.twitter.com/8C2zFyl2Lm

My afternoon class had a great first day back. Reconnecting with friends and hanging out on the play structure. @StJeromeOCSB @MrsMG_ocsb @OttCatholicSB #BackToSchool2024 pic.twitter.com/QI5LrkXbzo

Gr. 6s interviewed each other in small groups using 101 short questions. Then, they shared what they learned about their friends, or one thing they discovered that they have in common with each other. What a great way to build community #ocsbOpenDoors @StIsabelOCSB pic.twitter.com/kyTb2G55IY

When you see one of your lovely grade 1 students from last year, taking care of your new grade 1 student this year, it brings a huge smile to your face. 🩷🩷#ocsbfirstday ⁦@ChapelHillOCSB⁩ pic.twitter.com/KnCS5Hj18F

We took our gym class #ocsbOutdoors today to explore our new yard enhancements! We talked about navigating our comfort zones, embracing challenges, & learning how to assess risk. Such an important part of growth—both in and out of the classroom! @StMonicaOCSB #ocsbPlays @ocsbEco pic.twitter.com/uXSEShH0kj

Great #ocsbFirstDay back in Kinderland. Feels good (and exhausting!) to be back. My favourite moment of the day was this bug hotel which included leaf blankets and lots of collaborating! #ocsbkindergarten #ocsbEco @ThomasMoreOCSB pic.twitter.com/91psavqJjJ
