Council Meeting is TONIGHT in the Gledhill School Library at 6:00pm with guest speaker Michelle Aarts from PIAC discussing a bunch of “How tos” within the TDSB:

1. How to navigate resources for your child and connect with parents who have similar experiences.

2. How to have a voice in the TDSB including where to find information about TDSB public forums and feedback opportunities and how to be involved in education initiatives and advisory committees.

Highlights from this morning’s announcements:


Read first: “I would like to acknowledge that this school is situated upon traditional territories. The territories include the Wendat, Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha, Alderville First Nation and the Métis Nation. The treaty that was signed for this particular parcel of land is collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923 and applies to lands east of Woodbine Avenue. I also recognize the enduring presence of Aboriginal peoples on this land.”

1. Junior choir participants are asked to bring their lunch bags to Room 16 after these announcements. We will leave lunches there and then leave for our rehearsal. Teachers, please do not mark these students away this afternoon. They should return to class at approximately 1pm.
2. All staff who would like to participate in the group jersey photo: we have extra jerseys in the office.
