Ontario Stay-at-home order means people can only leave their homes for essential reasons - groceries, drug stores, medical appts. Everyone who can should be working from home. No cross regional travel allowed. #COVID19
The best place to store your mask when you are not using it is a clean, closable container. Use a paper bag or plastic container instead of a lanyard to best protect yourself from #Covid19
Great first week at Maple Ridge! We’ve successfully welcomed back all of our in-person students thanks to the outstanding collaboration, caring, and innovation by our staff!
Thanks for a great first week, Mavericks! You’ve been welcoming, understanding, and have taken on additional work in the building while preparing to welcome our students back. Feeling the excitement build at Maple Ridge! @OCDSB
I’m packing sunscreen, hat, rainwear, and good boots. Hope to spend lots of time outside when our students are! I’ll support with resources and encourage the creativity of our educators. “There is no bad weather... There are just bad clothes." https://t.co/3IlRikgzfE
I’ve sometime missed the first point: Do students understand the purpose and value of the assignment? I think our purposes need to be focused on learning outcomes more than work habits.
Thank you, @Fallingbrook679. I’m thankful for the privilege of having worked with you! I am so thankful for the inspiration and energy you’ve shared, helping me transition to my next gig at Maple Ridge!
Time for some self-care after a busy week with the hard-working folks @Fallingbrook679 ! Hope all my OCDSB colleagues are also taking some time for themselves this weekend before we roll up our sleeves again next week!
Outstanding work by our custodians and educators as we continue to prep for return! Extensive improvements focused on safety are well underway! We’re so excited to see our students return @Fallingbrook679 !
You asked us - The #OCDSB is in the process of staffing for the new school year. Many have asked questions about what the staffing changes mean, why they're necessary and why it's happening so close to the start of school. We wanted to explain the process: https://t.co/QMe2hNz3fJ
Dr. Vera Etches, Medical Officer of Health, Ottawa Public Health, answers questions at our Special Board Meeting tonight. You can watch the video here: https://t.co/ufRBzeTM5S
Great to have these arrive! There’s a feeling of comfort in the familiar parts of our September return, even when we’re reimagining so much! Here’s the cover of our updated student planners! @Fallingbrook679
Our students and children are going to need to rely on calm, in-control adults around them. Yep. That’s going be a challenge for me too, as I step into an unprecedented school year with my colleagues and my own kids. Looking forward to hearing what Dr. Tranter has to say!
How can we, as parents and educators, best support our children and ourselves as students return to school? Join us for our Speaker Series event on Aug 24 as Dr. Tranter discusses critical strategies to promote student and parent well-being. Learn more: https://t.co/D4ADZtrYqU
Working to keep students and staff safe, we’ve reworked our main office with the goals of physical distancing and safety, while making sure we’re still able to warmy greet those needing our service! Thanks for your collaboration, Tammy and Stavroula! @Fallingbrook679
Home after a productive day at @Fallingbrook679! Big thanks to our team of custodians for working hard through the summer! Shiny floors, cleaned vents/air intakes, and fresh paint look great! André, Dan, and Ashley are ready to help with our next steps toward our #SafeSeptember
