This is a reminder that PRC documentation for Winter 2018 placement is due on March 1st, 2018.

This applies to all students being placed in all school boards (both in traditional and non-traditional classrooms) and alternative (non-school) placement locations/sites.

For those placed in Simcoe County DSB (both traditional and non-traditional classrooms)

You are required to bring the following to the table:

• The original document (not in envelope)
• A photocopy of the document (in a sealed envelope) with your NAME and  "Winter 2018 PRC" written on the envelope
