Special Services at Home - Temporary Changes to Eligible Expenses
Please note the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, has temporarily expanded their list of eligible expenses under the Special Services at Home program to support people and their families while community-based activities and settings are closed.
The changes will allow families to use funding for goods and services that may make it easier for them to stay at home during physical distancing.
Please take a look at this link if you feel it can benefit your family: Special Services at Home.

French Immersion Resources for Parents
All French as a Second Language programs (FSL) are designed for families who do not speak French at home. Families may support their children in French Immersion/Extended French in much the same way they would in the English program. It is not necessary that families speak French for a child to continue learning at home. A family may create an account on IDELLO https://www.idello.org/en by selecting “Parent” or students can create an account using their TDSB email account. This would allow them to explore the resources on their own (parent or student). For additional French resources, families may explore the TDSB Virtual Library www.tdsb.on.ca/library.
May the 4th Be with You
Fans across the world recognize May the Fourth as the official celebration of all that is Star Wars. It’s a word play on the franchise’s iconic phrase, “May the force be with you.” Even under COVID-19 quarantine, there are still fun ways to enjoy the day. Try these activities with your family
