In 2016, we will open a new elementary school on Sweet Gale Street, in the Vista Hills area of west Waterloo.

We invite all members of our community help us name this school filling out the form below. A committee made up of Waterloo 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 vision of this new school:  living and learning in a 21st century culture of innovation and collaboration
  • The name must reflect good taste and a positive image of the Board
  • The suggestion 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.

School name submissions are now closed.
