Summer has come to an end for thousands of students across the region as classes in French-language schools resume today  (August 28) while English-language schools re-open September 4.

Today marks the rentrée scolaire for Le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l'Est ontarien and Le Conseil des écoles publiques de de l’Est de l’Ontario.
Next Tuesday marks the first day of classes for schools administered by the Upper Canada District School Board and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

Although francophone students start earlier than their anglophone counterparts, they also get out of school earlier. The last day of school for French-language students is June 20; for English-language students, school is out June 27.

Two Tagwi Secondary School students were hit by pellets fired by another student shortly before 1 p.m. at the Avonmore school today. The Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry Ontario Provincial Police detachment is investigating.

Snow, poutine and hospitality. Those are some of the things Australian exchange students will remember from their stay in Glengarry. Read about it in the January 21 edition of The Glengarry News.
