In 2014, the WRDSB will open a new elementary school in South Kitchener, on Lackner Road at Fairway Road.

We invite all members of our community to help us name this school by clicking on the link below and filling out a brief survey. A committee made of up Kitchener Trustees, the area Superintendent, Communications Staff and the Principal will select the name from the submissions.

The committee will use the following criteria to guide the choice in name:

  • Suggestions that fit the school’s vision of “knowledge mobilization and innovation.” The school will focus on the use of mobile devices in the classroom to support learning and encourage creativity.
  • The name must reflect good taste and a positive image of the Board
  • The suggestions must be unique and cannot be similar to other schools in our region
  • When considering naming the school after a person, the preference will be for names of individuals who are not alive
  • Suggestions where the initials or acronyms are offensive, or have other negative connotations or associations will not be considered

Submissions will close by the end of day on December 21, 2012.

We thank everyone for taking the time to submit your suggestion! The name of the new school will be announced at the January 21 Committee of the Whole Meeting.
