Beginning this fall, Laird School will become a Kindergarten to Grade 6 school, with Laird students in Grades 7 and 8 attending Waldheim School. This decision was made with the intention of providing strong support for students, staff and families.

The Board has directed administration to develop an implementation plan in consultation with the School Community Council at both Laird School and Waldheim School. The plan will address student placement, transportation, and communication with families and will be shared by June 15, 2026.

At the conclusion of the school review process, the Board of Education extends its appreciation to Laird School families, the Laird School SCC, the Laird School Review Committee and the Laird community for their active participation and engagement.
