March 20th, 2025
In September 2025, the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) will open a new elementary school at 670 Thomas Slee Drive, located in the Southwest area of Kitchener.
Choosing the Top Three Suggested Names
In February, we asked you to help suggest possible names for our new Southwest Kitchener elementary school. The Naming Committee has spent a considerable amount of time narrowing down a list of over 300 community submissions and has now created a list of their top 10 possible names.
We need your input to help the committee pick the top three suggested names.
Deadline for submissions is March 28, 2025 at 3 p.m.
What Happens Next?
Your input will provide The Naming Committee with further input towards choosing the top three names. This list of three chosen will be presented to the Board of Trustees, with one being the recommended choice. Trustees can choose to accept this recommendation or choose another one of the names in the top three.
