Ministry of Education Parent Resource Flyer:
The Ministry of Education is pleased to inform you that the Parent’s Guide to Ontario’s Education System was launched today.
This new resource will provide parents with helpful information that supports them to have a stronger role and actively participate in their children’s education. The guide covers a number of subjects such as knowing how their child is doing in school, learning about suspension and expulsion processes, attending a school council meeting or parent involvement committee meeting, and knowing about specialized supports to help all children succeed.
This initiative is part of the government’s recent efforts to increase transparency and accountability in our school system.
The full guide can be found at www.Ontario.ca/educationguide.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Professor Jamz dance-a-thon. The students had a fantastic time and had a great day. A big thank you to the School Council and the parents who were able to volunteer their time. We cannot thank everyone enough for their generous pledges. We will share the grand total with you shortly!
Have a great week!
