Two-guardian contact model in Toronto

Toronto independents sit beside TDSB/TCDSB campuses. Ontario Ministry of Education, EQAO, and OSSD language show up in evaluations. September opening, not a US-only habit.

The student is one. The contacts are many. Invoices can still be assigned to a payer without hiding the child from the other guardian. Court orders on contact and collection override a form. Staff still need a written school process. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
