🚨 URGENT READ 🚨
Important update from our Director of Education regarding elementary classroom assignments: wrdsb.social/33IzBPn
"As you know, this school year is unlike anything we have experienced before, and what makes this year more complex is that we now offer two learning options..."

Each morning, before school, we ask that our students and their families complete the #COVID19 school screening.
Using this tool is optional but it helps protect the health and safety of you and others. Please share! covid-19.ontario.ca/school-s…

It's time for another episode of Screens Off! This time we're learning about bugs and how to go bug hunting in your own garden. youtu.be/hRZmiKrl_LY #kwawesome #familyfun #bugs

My day, and my life, is made better by the presence of birds. Humans are dependant on birds for many essential ecosystem services they perform. Birds know no borders. Actions like this will cost us more in the long term, and lead us closer to the point of no return.

Are Hundred Boards upside down? We added a flip for you to decide. @gfletchy thinks traditional boards mirror reading (not counting) because 10’s go down (not up). But students intuitively see counts go 'up' (stacked blocks, elevator buttons, graphs, ...). What do you think?

🚨 Urgent - PARENTS: If you have (or know of) a child that is ready to begin Kindergarten @wrdsb next year, it is important you register them ASAP: wrdsb.ca/register/
As schools begin planning for 2020/21 (through a pandemic), this remains important for all kids. Thx! 👍

Ramadan Mubarak!
We want to wish those who are celebrating and observing #Ramadan a peaceful, healthy and reflective month.
This is a month-long period of prayer, fasting, charity-giving and self-accountability for our Muslim students, families and staff.

We have the most incredible administrative assistants! 👍🏼

Be prepared to be awed. 🤗
#WRDSB and @WCDSBNewswire high school student leaders wanted to take action during this uncertain time. Knowing the @Nutrition4Learn snack program is important to many of their classmates, they're asking our community to donate if they can. #WRDSBcares

WHICH CITY PARKS, TRAILS & OPEN SPACES CAN I VISIT?
Parks, trails & open spaces are only open to walk through as part of an essential trip & are not travel destinations at this time. Don't drive to a park outside of your neighborhood.

Some families are focusing on schoolwork.
Some families are focusing on mental health.
Some families are focusing on survival.
Different families have different needs at this time.
Let's be supportive of that.

PHASE 2: SUPPORTING STUDENT LEARNING
Our educators will begin to prepare students and families for distance learning, continue to identify barriers and develop alternate approaches. wrdsb.social/2V3czNL
We hope regular communication will reduce the understandable anxiety.

👇🏼This is what social & physical distancing looks like.
If you leave your home for nature therapy then please stick to parks & trails within walking distance that are not heavily populated. Make sure you:
✔️ share the space
✔️ plan short visits
✔️ leave if it becomes crowded

Over the next week, each #WRDSB family can expect a phone call from one of your child’s teachers. They will be checking in with students and families to say HEY and gather some information about students’ access to technology.

Enough is enough. To those who are still hanging out with friends or hosting dinner parties: Do the right thing and stay home. And while you’re at home, share this video to remind others they need to stay home too. #PlankTheCurve
