Given the fact that my colleagues and I are losing prep daily, extracurriculars aren't even close to being a priority.

I booked the afternoon off for Friday for an appointment. I requested the occasional teacher on Monday morning. No one picked up the job. A lunchroom supervisor has been asked to fill in. This is not a last minute situation. This is happening EVERYWHERE in #onted.

We are very excited for Thursday’s speaker session led by Parkside parents! Parents self-identified topics to share with students, & students created questions using critical thinking skills to prepare. #parksideproud #parentsaspartners @npersaudLC4 @aarts_michelle @VidyaShah6

Our school website has been updated! The homepage and ‘About Us’ sections were rewritten by the #StudentVoice Crew. This provides an authentic purpose and showcase for students to tell their own story. #parksideproud #inclusivedesign @npersaudLC4 @tdsb @LC4_TDSB @aarts_michelle

We asked elementary educators to show and tell us about their classroom conditions. Here is what one had to say and note that the #MyClassSize number for this in-class is 32!

Back to school for our elementary students will look different this year.

That's why we have created a daily checklist with our new health and safety measures to help keep students and staff safe from the spread of COVID-19. ✅

For those who might still be unclear about how anti-Black racism operates in schools to suffocate Black children, I'm sharing just a few examples. ⁦@Alisongsv⁩ ⁦⁦@CRussellRawlins ⁦@VickyBranco⁩ ⁦⁦@brandonzoras⁩ ⁦@ErikaShaker ⁦⁦@stevenhurley⁩

Online learning in the early years. Challenging? Yes. Impossible? No. My guiding principles remain the same: student centred, hands on, inquiry based, reciprocal learning. Joy, laughter& (virtual)community. A time for asset based thinking&creative problem solving. We’ve got this!

[Eric Walters @EricRWalters]

I was a teacher. Teachers ALWAYS feel like they need to do more and feel guilty that they can’t. Teachers, be kind to yourself - do the best you can and realize you can only do so much right now.

[John Malloy @malloy_john]

For our TDSB students, this is a challenging time. But I want you to know we are working very hard to get things sorted out so your learning can continue. We want to hear from you, connect with you, help you. We will work through this together and we are thinking about you.

[Toronto District School Board @tdsb]
