Traffic Safety Team
Thank you to our parent volunteer team who have been out directing cars each morning this week. So far we've had excellent results and lots of great feedback on their efforts.
Our goal is to have drivers drop students off in the front loop (right lane only) and park in designated areas if they need to come into the school.
Thanks to everyone for all your efforts, you are truly making a positive impact on our school community!
We'll be cleaning out the Lost and Found bins for March break, please come and have a look if you are missing items.
Ms Elizabeth in the office will be going to our School Cash
Online account for any outstanding payments. Some parents will be
receiving a letter after the March Break with the outstanding balance.
Please review your Cash Online account and pay any
outstanding fees.

Hello Everyone,
We've passed the 100 day mark in the school year and our schools are humming with important interactions between students and teachers and among classmates.
Many students are getting ready for the Kiwanis competitions, enjoying winter activity days, preparing for music nights, participating in STEM projects, and completing projects.
On a system-wide level the TDSB has accomplished some important goals and is working on others to be completed in the coming months. The Director of Education Dr. John Malloy has responded to the consultant's report on Equity and Inclusion - view the Director's response here. There are 7 areas that the staff will pursue to achieve our goal of further improving education for all our students. As those areas are studied, and recommendations are formulated, they will come back to the Board of Trustees for debate and approval.
The areas of focus include:
1. Professional Learning
2. Challenging Streaming and Exclusion to Improve Achievement and Well-Being
3. Examination of our Policies, Procedures and Practices that Impact Access, Opportunity and Outcomes
4. Enhancing Engagement and Encouraging Voice
5. Equitable Allocation Review
6. Development of a Strategy for Black Student Achievement Excellence
7. Equitable Recruitment, Hiring, Promotion and Placement Processes Aligned with Principles of Human Rights.
Presently, the board is working on our long-term plan for the capital needs of the system. This is done by a review of every school and every neighborhood by planning staff, teaching and learning leaders, as well as the Trustee and Superintendents of education for every area. We are also developing a strategic plan for the next 4 years and continuing to review all polices of the board.
I have enclosed a survey below to help me gather more information from the community regarding school fundraising. Please let me know what you are thinking.
The TDSB is a stimulating forward-thinking environment. Once again thank you for allowing me to represent you at the board table.Gerri
