Friday, January 20 is a PD Day for #WRDSB elementary schools, which means no school for elementary students!
IMPORTANT: All WRDSB Extended Day & Youth Development programs will also be closed due to staffing shortages. Fees will be waived on this day.

Today is #WorldKindnessDay. What act of kindness will you do today? Whether it’s helping a neighbour, complimenting someone or even just being kind to yourself, every good deed causes a ripple effect that leads to more kindness. #BeKindWR

You can help kids make friends by coaching them at home. Talk about taking turns and sharing. Try using role-playing to practice different ways to handle disagreements. You can also demonstrate good behaviour when you talk to family and your own friends.

Thanks for sharing this clear distinction between #Speech vs. #Language, @ExpressableHQ! Developmental Language Disorder is related to a child's use and understanding of Language. #DLD impacts a child socially, academically and emotionally #DLDday
Do you know the difference between speech and language? While often used interchangeably, there are important distinctions between speech and language disorders that you should look for when assessing your child’s communication skills #speechtherapy #childdevelopment #parenting

Today we mark #WorldMentalHealthDay. It's an opportunity to raise awareness about how our #MentalHealth impacts us all and the importance of continuing the conversation.
The #WellBeing of our students is an integral part of their success and remains a top #WRDSB priority.
