#OrangeShirtDay on September 30. #WRDSB students and staff are encouraged to wear orange to honour residential school survivors and those who did not survive.

It is one way we can come together and recognize past transgressions towards Indigenous people. https://t.co/Ys0IGCwicP

Thank you to our @ROWPublicHealth friends for creating these important videos for our students and families!

Remember to: wash your hands, wear your mask and sanitize your hands when washing isn't an option.

Going for walks is an excellent time to talk about math with your child. You’ll be surprised how much math talk you can have when you look for the math in your very own neighborhood.

Trustee @Karen_Meissner_ asks if there is a protocol in place for masks when they are not in use (ie: outdoor learning, nutrition break, etc.).

Superintendent @Bill_Lemon_SO says labelled, resealable plastic bags, providing the mask is clean and dry, is safe storage. #WRDSBmtg

As you begin your back to school shopping - continue to think about ways your can help foster your child’s independence. Remember: Independence = success, safety, confidence, and happiness at school!

Here is a parent resource slideshow that I created in response to last night's @wrdsb decision to have JK-12 students wear masks. It includes social narratives and videos to help children adjust to wearing a mask and seeing others in masks: https://t.co/I2DrOHCjSo #OntEd #MaskUp

Independence in Kindergarten has never been more important... consider these ideas for a successful pandemic nutrition break.

[JSPS K5 @JSPS_K5]

Wondering how your 3-5 year old will handle wearing a mask at school? There’s lots of creative ideas out there to help them. Kids are so resilient - they will adjust and adapt... especially with lots of support and practice at home first!

[JSPS K5 @JSPS_K5]

As @wrdsb has passed the motion to have JK-Gr3 students wear masks - here are some helpful tips. Practice, practice, practice!!
