FAQs

Robert Bateman High School-Transitions-image.png
When will the Integration Committees be created for Robert Bateman transitions?
The Integration Committees will be formed during the school year prior to student and staff transitions, following School Council elections.
  • Robert Bateman/Nelson - Integration Committee 2019-2020
  • Robert Bateman/Burlington Central - Integration Committee 2019-2020​
If the Integration Committee is not formed until 2019-2020, how will the members of the Robert Bateman community be engaged? ​
We will continue to communicate with members of the Robert Bateman community through a variety of avenues, including but not limited to:
  • School Council meetings;
  • FAQs posted at this website; and
  • Board meetings (bi-monthly updates regarding all PAR implementation).​
When will the International Baccalaureate Program move to Burlington Central High School?
Students wishing to pursue the IB pathway for grades 11 and 12 usually begin in the Accelerated Learning Program for grades 9 and 10. In 2019-2020, students entering the Accelerated Learning Program (Gr. 9) will enrol at Burlington Central H.S.; students in the Accelerated Learning Program (Gr. 10) and IB (Gr. 11-12) will remain at Robert Bateman H.S. In 2020-2021, all students in the Accelerated Learning Program and IB will attend Burlington Central H.S.​

 
For more information on program implications, please refer to the PAR implementation.​

 
Will busing be provided for students in the International Baccalaureate program?
Students attending the International Baccalaureate program at any of our sites (i.e., Burlington Central High School, Georgetown District High School, Robert Bateman High School, White Oaks Secondary School) from cross boundary or who are non-Halton residents are not eligible for transportation services.
 
However, students who reside in the catchment of the school offering the IB program and live farther than a 3.2 km walking distance are eligible for transportation.
   
For more information, please refer to the HDSB Transportation policy.​
Will there be a school closing ceremony for Robert Bateman H.S.?
The Integration Committee will determine whether a school closing ceremony is appropriate. If a closing ceremony is recommended, the Committee will design the format and program.
What will happen to the artifacts/memorabilia for Robert Bateman H. S.?
Honouring and incorporating artifacts and other memorabilia from Robert Bateman H.S. will be overseen by the Integration Committees with input from both schools. Some items may be relocated to the new school, and as such, no decisions have been made at this time. More details will be released when available.​
Can my child pursue Optional Attendance, given that our school is closing?
Ideally, students will remain at or relocate to new schools based on the decisions/timelines approved in the Burlington Program and Accommodation Review. There will be, however, continued flexibility for special circumstances for exceptional student and family needs moving forward. These situations will be decided on a case-by-case basis and should be discussed with your current school principal as per HDSB’s Optional Attendance Administrative Procedure​​.
  •  There is a specific application form required for Grade 8 to Grade 9 optional attendance. Applicants are expected to discuss the programs offered at the home high school with the principal of that school. Please refer to the Administrative Procedure for application and decision timelines. 
  • The process for application for transfer of students already in high school (i.e., grades 9 – 12) to another school occurs through the home school Principal and the Principal of the requested school. This does not require a formal application process.
How will the transition plan accommodate students currently enrolled in any of the OYAP/SHSM programs that may be shutdown/discontinued prior to graduation/completion?
Students enrolled in SHSM and OYAP commit to a two-year program. Any SHSM, OYAP or Dual Credit program offered for September 2019 will be continued for September 2020. The location of the program would be communicated in the 2019-2020 school year, as per our current timelines around regional program offerings. Proposals to move SHSM programs to a new location are submitted in the winter and confirmed by the Ministry of Education in the spring.

In the rare case that a program does not continue, students who are enrolled in the program will be given an opportunity to complete the program components either back at their home school with support from the school board, or through enrolment in a similar program if a suitable one exists.
Will students enrolled in program that will be shutdown/discontinued before completion, but available elsewhere, be automatically granted optional attendance and transportation?
Students in their second year of a program continuing their SHSM, OYAP or Dual Credit program at a new location will not be required to apply for optional attendance. As with any Pathways Program, students may choose to transfer to a school that offers that program based on the Pathways Program Application Process supported by the Student Services departments of their home and program school. Regional transportation [within Burlington, within Oakville and within the North (Milton, Acton and Georgetown)] is available for all SHSM and OYAP students who transfer schools, based on the transportation eligibility guidelines.
What is the status of the Administrative Review?​
The Administrative Review has been completed and it was concluded that the Board followed it’s process. The Board will continue to implement the approved recommendations. The updates section on this webpage provides further information.
