Parents/caregivers invited to collaborate with School Mental Health Ontario

School Mental Health Ontario (SMH-ON) is now accepting applications for our Parent and Caregiver Collaboration Group (PCCG). The PCCG provides an opportunity for parents and caregivers to deepen their learning about student mental health, share their perspectives about what they need as parents/caregivers to support mental health and to collaborate with SMH-ON to co-develop resources and supports for parents and caregivers.

Every Day Counts! Why regular student attendance at school really matters

In the UGDSB, we know how important school attendance and established routines are for students to build knowledge, skills and confidence. Regular attendance is more than just a requirement; it's a critical building block for academic success, social development, and future opportunities. While we may face challenges that can make school attendance difficult, it's important to understand the impact of frequent absenteeism and how we can work together to support regular attendance.
