The grade 2/3 @RicksonWolves did an experiment with a pumpkin for Orange Week. Can you guess how many elastics it took to split their pumpkin in two???? #ugdsb

[Jessica Patrick @JessicaJPatrick]

[Jessica Patrick @JessicaJPatrick]

So humbled and so moved to stand at the doors of our library and hear Mme Brown singing and drumming in our hallways to honour Orange Shirt Day. What a privilege for our @RicksonWolves to experience. #ugdsb #OrangeShirtDay2020

[Jessica Patrick @JessicaJPatrick]

The Ministry says it's flexible and that boards have the power to make good & appropriate decisions for their own students, but clearly that's untrue if they're going to overturn the plan from @tdsb. A #SafeSeptember is needed. Let Boards use their knowledge to make safe plans!

[Jessica Patrick @JessicaJPatrick]

@tdsb had a great plan for keeping students safe. But @fordnation and @Sflecce said it was "too good" for teachers. It ended the day 48 min earlier (exact same amount of teacher prep) & redistributed planning time teachers to make more (smaller) classes. What??! #safeseptember

[Jessica Patrick @JessicaJPatrick]

As per your own province's ads, physical distancing means 2 m. @fordnation and @Sflecce - please stop blaming unions and acknowledge that your plan ignores the concerns of all experts, parents, principals, and educators. Make classes smaller and safer!!! #safeseptember

[Jessica Patrick @JessicaJPatrick]

@DrAnnLopez @Sflecce My kids' high school is at 147% capacity right now, but will still be open every day with full attendance. What information was used to determine the "designated" list for high schools??? #unsafeseptember

[Jessica Patrick @JessicaJPatrick]

@DrAnnLopez @Sflecce It was the Ministry's duty to devise a plan that worked for students, parents, & educators. They could have sought relevant expert help on this (Ontario Public Health, educators, principals, boards), but they chose not to & thus failed Ontario families. #unsafeseptember
