Westview ASD Class

An energetic ASD classroom in the Hamilton Wentworth district school board. Our class uses the Structured T.E.A.C.C.H learning model with our six students.

We are disappointed to announce that the Santa Claus Parade is cancelled due to unsafe weather conditions and the declaration of a significant weather event. Public Safety is our first priority.

Got extra #Halloween candy or treats (i.e. pencils, stickers, etc) you want to donate? Would go to a wonderful cause in allowing children with special needs #trickortreat in an accessible environment! @HWDSB @CBCHamilton @HWCDSB

Introducing the beautiful new crosswalks at the Sterling Street entrance to campus! Thank you to #HamOnt Mayor @FredEisenberger and Ward 1 Councillor @aidan_johnson for including McMaster in this initiative. | #BrighterWorld

All kids might not care what you teach them, but most will care how you treat them.

Stay in it for the long game and don't write them off.

[Mike Des Jardins @superengager]

Swung by my alma mater to check out the new crosswalks @McMasterU - thrilled to have these symbols of inclusion in @cityofhamilton; may they act as reminders to everyone who crosses them to “walk the talk” by supporting, encouraging, and celebrating #diversity & #inclusion

The latest technology and textbooks are nice, but what kids really need is someone that cares. #teachergoals #kidsdeserveit

[Ontario Principals' Council @OPCouncil]

With the revised HPE curriculum, students are receiving information about their physical, mental & emotional health that is topical, relevant, research-based & age-appropriate. We urge the Minister to keep the curriculum in place. Our letter here: https://t.co/X9g3UvYrLv

Administrators and teachers are on the same team, even if they are not on the same page.

Administrators have many stakeholders to consider & limited resources to utilize.

Teachers are the ones working directly with students & have valid insights.

Communication is key #realtalk

Happy Canada Day!
