Toronto Public Health (TPH) will be on site at UTS on October 17 to provide school vaccinations to F1 students.
Consent forms were sent home with students over the last 2 days. The completed forms need to be returned by Tuesday October 1st to the main office.
Extra consent forms are also available at the Main Office in case your child did not receive one. F2 students who missed their vaccination will also have the opportunity to receive them in this clinic.

F1-M3 Guidance Counsellor Update
On Monday, September 30, we are delighted to be welcoming Ms. Ronell Matthews to our F1 - M3 guidance team. The Student Services Quick Guide for Families has been updated to include the roster lists for Ms. Matthews.
Postsecondary Planning While in Middle School (F1-M3)
UTS has a robust university counselling program that begins in M4 with the Career Studies course.
In F1-M3, the best thing to do to prepare for this is to encourage your child to develop their learning and cooperative skills while exploring the fun curricular, co-curricular and volunteer opportunities UTS has to offer in a way that is authentic to them.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s counsellor.
Therapy Dogs for F1 Students
Over the next 2 weeks, the school nurse and social workers will have a 20 minute meeting with all F1 students to introduce the health services available at UTS.
The meetings will take place in small groups of 15 students with therapy dogs present. The idea is to increase your child’s comfort with the UTS health services team in a relaxed environment.
If there are any questions please contact Adi Sood (School Nurse) or Marleen Constantin (Social Work).
