16 Parents' Handbook 2024– 2025
Senior
School
Grades 6 - Level V (Textbooks):
Students may purchase new or used
textbooks through Batner Bookstore
online or at their storefront in Thornhill.
Ordering is simple and efficient and
Batner Bookstore will ensure that
students get the right books on time at a
fair price with a very fair return policy.
Families also have the opportunity to
sell their used textbooks back to the
bookstore at the end of the school year
for store credit or money back.
TFS courses and associated booklists
can be found on the Parent Portal
(Veracross) in the Senior School section
and on Batner Bookstore's website.
Grades 6 - Level II (School Supplies):
Students should come to school with the
required supplies, which can be found
on the Parent Portal (Veracross) under
Supply List in the Senior School section.
(Notebooks): Subject notebooks will
be issued to Senior School students
from Grades 6 to Level II. The list of
notebooks can be found on the Parent
Portal (Veracross) under Supply List in
the Senior School section (please refer
to page 4).
Students will be given their school
textbooks on Welcome Day and in the
following days. Please note that these
books belong to the school and must be
returned in good condition at the end of
the year. Parents will be responsible for
the replacement cost of damaged or lost
books.
Level III students will be billed a one
time fee for the Kognity subscription, a
software that each student is required to
use in Level IV and V. This is not included
in the resource fee billed at registration
time.
West
Campus
PK - Grade 7: All students should come
to school with the required supplies,
which can be found on the Parent Portal
(Veracross) under Supply List in the West
Campus section.
USED UNIFORM SALES
The TFS Parents' Association holds used uniform sales
throughout the school year. Some parents purchase
most of their child's uniform pieces from the sale,
while others use the sale to replace lost or outgrown
items. TFS families, whose children have outgrown
uniform items, donate gently used clothing to sale
by dropping them in the bin labeled "Used Uniform"
closest to their branch. Items are in excellent condition
and stock is replenished on a regular basis from
donations throughout the year.
On average, the prices at the sale are at least half of
the retail price. Payment is very easy, as we simply
charge your child's TFS account!
Please check the PA's website (pa.tfs.ca) for used
uniform sale dates. Also, you will find signage around
the school prior to a sale. If you have any questions
or comments, please contact the Used Uniform
Committee Chairs by email at pa.useduniform@tfs.ca.
