Congratulations to all of our cross country runners who participated in our second race on Tuesday. Good luck to the remaining runners who will be heading to our final City meet next week!
On the 16th, IEPs (Individual Education Plans) will be sent home with some students. Currently, we have approximately 70 students who have an IEP. An IEP is a formal document that outlines any accommodations and/or modifications that a student may require beyond what a teacher already implements in daily practice, in order to achieve success. A student who requires an IEP has been discussed at a variety of meetings within the school and/or one provided by the TDSB Special Education Department. Last year, we had a fabulous special education website that provided in-depth knowledge around many special education topics. Currently, we are reconstructing the website and we are hoping to get it up and running in the next couple of months. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your child's classroom teacher, myself, Mr. Lanis, or one of our three special education teachers (Mrs. Dacyshyn-Kindergarten, Grade 4 and 5, Mrs. MacPherson-Grade 1-3 and Mrs. Young-Grade 6-8).
At this point of the year, teachers will be contacting parents of students if they have a concern. We want to provide as much support to our children as possible, and early intervention is an important part of the process.
We'd like to remind parents to give your child's teacher a note if you will be picking up during the day for an appointment. We are trying to keep the disruptions to the classes at a minimum. Last week, in one day, Mrs. Stefanowicz had an enormous amount of request to call children to the office which disrupts learning. Thank you in advance.
