ICYMI: On Monday, March 7, #YRDSB will be hosting a virtual Mental Health Drop-In for Black Parents.
This is an opportunity for parents to hear and
learn about ways to promote and sustain positive mental wellness for their children. https://t.co/XHxahf7Ce2

We are honoured to virtually host @MaksimG Feb 3 in honour of #IHRD. This event highlights a family narrative of oppression, erasure and a process of reclaiming identity.  

We invite @yrdsb community to register & join us in this important learning. https://t.co/FSF2NwOqhV

@nicoleella10 This looks amazing!!

You want to talk about teacher absenteeism @Sflecce and @fordnation? Here's a thought...maybe if you didn't push educators over the edge they wouldn't, you know, fall off the edge.

[Heather Hawes @heather_hrh]

@TimWSternberg @TeachMrReed Students are falling behind who?

[R Griffith @msrgriffith]

Do NOT ask students where they went or what they did in the summer. For students of low SES, many dreaded the first day questions from teachers. This is far more #inclusive.

[Heather Hawes @heather_hrh]

@VirtualGiff @YRDSB @oslacouncil Absolutely! Can't think of a single reason this should not happen.

[Jen Giffen (She/Her) @VirtualGiff]

I hope @yrdsb can move to a similar policy quickly. Library Learning Commons resources are imperative for innovative, holistic student achievement. #TeacherLIbrarians @oslacouncil

@MrRuggero @AnitaBK @jenniferkbyrne @YRDSB @YRDSBDirector @CdnSchoolLibrar @VirtualGiff @kellymaggirias @HulseAnnMarie @FerazzoliRula @JulieW01 No word here either. And the not knowing is tough! Struggling to wrap my head around possibilities. How much of a choice do teachers have to work remotely? Whatever happens, let's find a way to stick together!

[Heather Hawes @heather_hrh]

@NikCotterOCT @mslongpre @JBradshaw01 @metromorning Yes!! Daycare, bussing, and family/friend social circles will make cohorts ineffective. Not to mention shared bathrooms, stairwells, and doorways.

I'm excited and grateful!
