Secondary School Student Selected as OHL Prospect, Preparing for Season

October 23, 2020 By Josh

Photo of Alex Little
Alex Little, a West Ferris Secondary School student, was selected as a prospect for OHL’s Battalion earlier this year.

For Alex Little, 17, hockey is a passion. The West Ferris Secondary School (WFSS) student was selected as a prospect earlier this year by the North Bay Battalion in the Ontario Hockey League’s annual OHL Under-18 Priority selection, which was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

When Little moved to North Bay last year, he chose WFSS because of the increased program offerings, sports complex, and the positive atmosphere.

“Honestly I heard West Ferris was one of the nicest schools around. It has great people and I wanted to surround myself with a great atmosphere because I moved to North Bay and away from my family,” he explained that the weight room and sports complex are topnotch. “The weight room here is amazing. [The sports complex] has everything that you need from bikes to cardio to weight racks, dumbbells…it’s a very great setup.”

The Grade 12 student currently plays for the Powassan Voodoos, a Junior “A” team in the NOJHL (Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League). He was drafted 41st overall by the Battalion as they worked to build a contender.

“I think they have a great shot at winning in the future. They’re building up a young roster right now.”

Little said hearing his name during the draft was really cool since it is the OHL and that it was the Battalion made it even better. For him, it’s one step closer to having his dream come true.

“Right now, I’m training and trying to make the Battalion’s camp, so I can show them what I can bring to the team in the future.”

As he waits for training camp and exhibition season to begin, Little said staying personally fit during COVID-19 can be a challenge for some, he’s actually improved his workouts.

“I was actually able to work out harder to increase my strength and endurance,” explained Little.

He also acknowledges that having a good support system is key.

“Everyone that I’m surrounded by is always pushing me to be my best, it’s great.”

The Haliburton native ventured further north last year because there were more opportunities in hockey; the North Bay Trappers, the Powassan Voodoos, and ultimately the OHL’s North Bay Battalion.

“[I’m hoping to] have a good year with Powassan and then hopefully get on the Battalion roster and move onto higher levels of hockey in my life,” he said.

The 6’1” defender said some of his interests outside of hockey include being in weight rooms, playing video games, and hanging out with his billet brothers.

“My billet brothers and I shoot pucks, shoot baskets, play golf. Really anything to keep us busy and outside.”

Billet families are members of the community, screened by the teams, that invite junior players into their homes to be a part of their family during the hockey season, when the players are on teams that are not close to home.

As with any athlete, managing education, sports, and training is always a balancing act.

“I just try to make sure that I’m focused in class and get everything done during the school day, so that when we have a lot of practices or go on the road that I have everything done,” Little stated.

WFSS is able to offer a blended mode for all players and students who participate in extracurricular activities.

Echoing Little, Battalion General Manager and former professional hockey player, Adam Dennis said being a good student is transferable to being a solid player.

“As a hockey player, it is very important to understand that being a good student can be a big asset to your on-ice game. The ability to follow instruction, solve problems and work hard are things we expect from our players. This expectation needs to be carried over into all aspects of your life. To achieve that, players must prioritize their time with what’s important.”

Any hockey player has their own idol and for Little, it’s Alexander Ovechkin.

“He’s a great leader, plays hard, and is just somebody who enjoys the game. He shows to everyone how amazing of a career it is and if you put in the hard work, you can have the great life that he does.”

The dream for Little, who has been playing hockey since the age of six and on the ice since three, is to make it to the National Hockey League (NHL).

“Ever since I started playing the game, I loved it … just everything about the sport is amazing.” Little added that even though the chances of making it to the NHL are slim, it shouldn’t be a deterrent to have fun and enjoy the game. “I keep pushing through and enjoying what I’m doing, that’s a big thing because if you’re not enjoying it, you’re not going to push yourself to the next step.”

Dennis says Little is a smart player and that’s what makes him great at the game.

“Alex is a very composed defenceman that can affect the game at both ends of the ice. His smarts are his best asset.”

Director and Chair Message to Graduates

June 22, 2020 By Mairghread

Dear 2020 Graduates,

We wish to congratulate you on your academic achievements and persistence through these unprecedented times. The current reality we are facing with COVID-19 and specifically what you, our graduating students, are facing is a situation that has not been encountered in our time.

Graduation and the ensuing celebrations are a special time. This is a time to commemorate not only your accomplishments with the NNDSB but also your hard work, memories, connections, successes and experiences. While we cannot celebrate as we usually would, this in no way minimizes or diminishes the depth and breadth of your accomplishments. We, along with your teachers and school staff, are incredibly proud of you.

Life has caused a real twist in the tale that will cause you never to forget the year you graduated. We will all remember with flashbulb memory how we spent our last few months of this school year. While there are many lessons to be learned from what the world has endured in the story that we have all been swept up in, it is important to remember that you control your own story. As the world begins to open again and you embark upon your next steps in your life journey, trust in the magic of beginnings.

In the words of Martin Luther King Jr, “Everything you need to accomplish your goals is already in you.”

Write your own narrative, be your own story.

We are eager to see what the future brings to you and how you and your fellow graduates will continue to improve the world around us. Take care of yourselves and each other and stay healthy.

Craig Myles                                                       Jay Aspin
Director of Education                                              Chair, Board of Trustees

On September 26, 2017, the Board of Trustees approved the consolidation of three North Bay secondary schools (Chippewa, West Ferris and Widdifield) into two schools at the West Ferris (South) and Chippewa (North) sites.

On September 24, 2019, the Board of Trustees reaffirmed the previous decision of September 26, 2017.

INFORMATION ON THE ACCOMMODATION REVIEW PROCESS

The Near North District School Board is committed to working with community partners when undertaking capital planning, including when the Board is beginning to develop options to address under-utilized space in its buildings. Further, the Board is committed to ensuring that decisions regarding student accommodations are made with the involvement of an informed local community and are based on a broad range of criteria regarding the quality of the learning experience for students.

The Guide to Accommodation Reviews is a great resource for anyone interested in learning more.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Our Student Accommodation Policy
Ministry PARG Policy
Ministry Administrative Review Policy

FUTURE ACCOMMODATION NEEDS

The Near North District School Board is committed to optimizing the use of board-owned assets. This may be achieved by establishing facility partnerships for co-building opportunities when undertaking major capital projects, the leasing of space within current assets, the disposition of properties and engaging in long term planning. Capital planning activities will be well informed, well-coordinated, transparent, sustainable and supportive of student achievement and well-being.

The Board will continue to address the future accommodation needs of students across the district with a focus on the priorities as outlined within the Board’s Capital Plan. No new accommodation reviews will be considered until the Ministry of Education’s revised Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline is complete, and the moratorium on establishing accommodation reviews and school surplus is lifted. Exploring opportunities for collaborative capital projects and shared-space opportunities with municipalities, co-terminus school boards, community partners, and agencies remains a priority.

NNDSB Graduation Survey

May 21, 2020 By Mairghread

We recognize that our students and their families look forward to graduation and the opportunity for our students to receive recognition for their hard work and achievements. However, celebrations for this year cannot occur as they have in the past due to COVID-19 and school closures. Graduations have not been cancelled, and as we examine alternate methods of celebration, we are seeking parent and student input into options. Our plans for celebrations and graduations must include input from our students and families.

To that end, we have created a survey for parents (grade 6, grade 8 and grade 12) and grade 12 students to complete. The survey will be available until the end of the day on Monday, May 25, 2020. Please use the link below to access the survey and provide us with your thoughts on options for celebrating our 2020 graduates.

Special Education Updates

April 30, 2020 By Mairghread

Individual Education Plans (IEPs)

To support access to learning for students with special education needs, Individual Education Plans (IEPs) will continue to remain in effect as continuity of learning strategies are implemented. Students with special education needs are expected to continue to receive appropriate accommodations and modifications where necessary. In situations where the existing accommodations, modifications or alternative programming is not feasible, the school teacher and the school team will work with parents and families to determine the best strategies, on a case by case basis.

Identification Placement and Review Committees (IPRC’s)

Schools will be scheduling reviews of Identification Placement and Review Committees (IPRC’s) to be offered remotely at this time.

School-Based Staff

Teachers and Educational Assistants in Special Education System Classes continue to provide programming suited to the goals and learning profiles of the individual students in their classes, with an emphasis on practicing skills already taught to maintain and apply in their home environments and supporting the development of new skills with a focus on the learning goals established in their Individual Education Plans.

Differentiated Learning Resource Teachers(DLRTs) continue to support and coordinate special education processes at the school level, and are available to work with classroom teachers in adapting any accommodations given the nature of the virtual learning environment. DLRTs will be supporting the school regarding special education processes, including the annual Identification Placement and Review Committees (IPRCs) and student transition planning.

Educational Assistants continue to support remotely, the students they are assigned to support, in collaboration with the classroom teachers. They will be working with the classroom teachers to ensure the ongoing engagement and success of students through the preparation of individualized learning materials for students and working with individual students through a variety of remote methods (phone, email) to deliver program for specific students as determined by the teacher.

Central Support Staff

Itinerant Teachers, Psychology, Behavior and Speech and Language Professional Staff are available to consult and support the school staff with resources including accessible formats and strategies as needed to further support the classroom teacher and DLRT as they implement and adapt accommodations and modifications. Professional support staff are also supporting in the building of relevant professional learning resources to support students, families and/or staff.

We continue to consider the different ways in which our professional support staff can work remotely to provide consultation, resources, collaborative planning (such as transition planning and behaviour management planning) and other supports to teachers and or families where appropriate and in line with applicable privacy legislation and regulatory bodies connected to professional staff.

Mental Health Staff

Our Mental Health staff are providing prevention and intervention resources and information, mental health check ins, and intervention services.

The Mental Health Team for the NNDSB are currently providing mental health supports to students remotely. This includes, “check ins” for students currently receiving prevention and intervention services in schools with mental health staff and those students who come to the attention of staff during the school closure period, as needing additional support. Students and families are encouraged to seek support through our Social Work team following the guidance and links provided on our board website.

Mental Health resources are available through our Board website at We Are Here to Help.
