All school buses and vans serving the OCDSB will be cancelled on February 13, 2025, due to poor weather conditions. For students assigned to public transit (Presto), all 600-series school routes and any school trips on regular routes will not operate.

OCDSB schools will be open. Parents and caregivers are welcome to drop off their children at school and pick them up at regular bell times. The Extended Day Program will also be open for registered students.

Welcome to the Colonel By Learning Commons

Hello, Colonel By Cougars!

Welcome to the Colonel By Learning Commons website.

Ms. Harris is our Teacher Librarian, and her role is to support your exploration, curiosity, and growth as a student. Whether you need help finding a great book to listen to or read, tracking down an essential source for research, creating mind-blowing products for your class, or using a quiet space for study or reflection, consider the Learning Commons resources and Ms. Harris's support. 

This year, five student volunteers work at our Circulation Desk during lunch. They can help you check out books or find a resource. Remember to bring your Student Card!

We are also lucky to have two of Mr. Milne's Co-op students helping in our space every other day!

Note: You may eat and drink in the Learning Commons if you pick up after yourself. This means throwing litter into one of the garbage bins as you leave. Keep it tidy for others to enjoy.

Open 8:45am - 3:15pm Monday-Friday
