Our hearts are beaming with pride as we reflect on SOE @PNeerja retirement celebration. Tributes from so many included here ⬇️
Hearing her younger sister from India share how SOE Punjabi has been the protection, care, and kindness in her life summed it for most of us.
So proud.
The @IDA_Ontario Literacy Leader of 2026 Award celebrates ON educators & leaders who demonstrate exceptional dedication to structured literacy & passionately drive system-wide shift. Proud of my former P & now my Superintendent @PNeerja nominated by her principals & colleagues.
Proud of the first Principal I worked with 15 yrs ago - now a Superintendent with @PeelSchools honoured today as the Literacy Leader of the Year in front of thousands of attendees @IDA_Ontario#LitLearn2026 nominated by her Ps & Colleagues. How lucky her grandson witnessed this!
It doesn’t matter how early I get to school - our @RedWillowPS head custodian Mr. Alonzo is doing everything he can to clear pathways for our staff & community.
Always with a smile.
For his sake, I hope winter ends soon 😊 TY to all our @PeelSchools custodians.
Another year in the books @RedWillowPS and what a year it has been! On behalf of our office team & entire staff, we wish our students, families, and entire community a peaceful, healthy, and joyful summer.
See you all on September 2!

After a year of diligently facilitating the Empower reading program on a daily basis, often twice a day - our @RedWillowPS ESL teacher @chadha_sonia threw a pizza & ice cream party for all our successful readers!
These kiddos are on their way! This is just the beginning.
A monumental feat of vigorous planning & rescheduling due to the rain - the @RedWillowPS 2025 school wide Play Day was our best so far! Thank you so much to Phys. Ed teachers @BradiCochrane @dogru_muteber for an extraordinary year.
For #AutismAcceptanceMonth our Neurodiverse students @RedWillowPS are using their platform to spread information & awareness about students diagnosed with ASD. So proud of them, eager to share - and their teacher @mrsjoshi_ who continues empowering them. @PeelSchools
We are excited to host a Community Engagement night @RedWillowPS joining forces with @ClairevillePeel@CalderstoneMS again while we reimagine what unity, affinity, and partnerships can look like as we action the @PeelSchools Multi Year Strategic Plan & Black SS Strategy.
As a Montrealer, I grew up with Le Carnaval de Québec - we lived a tiny piece of it @RedWillowPS fun filled day with indoor & outdoor activities. TY to @BradiCochrane Ms. B for all the behind the scenes work over the last week & all staff who prepared 575 cups of hot chocolate!
Ts *actually* reading to students helps build their schema, comprehension, attention span, critical thinking skills, and enhances vocabulary.
A YouTube video without continuous teacher probing and engagement is not a read aloud.
TY
@mariapwalther
Your books are extraordinary!
Great SIEP visit with SOE @KervinWhite Kindergarten students were celebrating 100 Days @RedWillowPS and presented him with a card too!
Deep conversation as members of our SIEP committee presented what we do and how we monitor.
Do the work but measure impact. Always.
Proud to see @RedWillowPS teachers who have been using UFLI for almost three years still signing up to have our amazing Literacy coach @MrsMKall model a lesson. And other teachers joining to observe as well!
Learning should never stop.
Inspired by our meeting with @palazzopves 2 yrs ago - our extraordinary G3 Ts began a rotation cycle. Following their Core Phonics Surveys, they divided all Gr3 students in groups based on need. Every P1 - Ss rotate to be with a T who explicitly teaches each group what they need.
TY junior teachers @Mrs_Karpiak@amanijjar who for the second year @RedWillowPS continue empowering students. When the data showed us Black girls felt they weren’t good at science, our Ts stepped up and started the Black STEAM Queens. An affinity space for girls who love science!
Exciting news: Coffee Cart is Back! ☕️
We’re not just brewing coffee; we’re brewing financial literacy skills! We are learning to take orders, deliver them, and give correct change, enhancing our money management skills. #LifeSkills@RedWillowPS@ZohrinM@LBeckfordpeel
ISSP T @singalshivani partnered with S. Knowles, Coding & Computer Science RT last yr for Autism Awareness Month. Her idea to bring coding to Neurodiverse Ss led to an unforgettable school wide event.
Today, they presented @RedWillowPS journey @ the Access Conference. @peel21st
Our whole @RedWillowPS staff joined us after school as our amazing social committee planned a beautiful farewell to our VP @jrleduc22 lots of tears, cake, and fun!
Celebrating RW style: food, laughter, and community.
