Westview located in, Ontario, under the sanction of the North York Board of Education that later assimilated into the Toronto District School Board.

Tips for parents:
Teens want to be taken seriously, especially by their parents. Look for ways to show that you trust your teen. Asking him for a favour shows that you rely on him. Volunteering a privilege shows that you think he can handle it. Letting your kid know you have faith in him will boost his confidence and make him more likely to rise to the occasion. You still get to set the rules, but be ready to explain them. While pushing the boundaries is natural for teenagers, hearing your thoughtful explanation about why parties on school nights aren’t allowed will make the rule seem more reasonable.
