Dear Parents and Guardians.
This is a reminder that your child will not be attending school on Friday, January 16th as school staff will be participating in a Ministry approved PA Day. This day is aligned with our co-terminus Boards in the Windsor-Essex region, including the GECDSB and WECDSB.
The following is an outline of the learning that staff will be participating in on the upcoming PA Day.
Friday, January 16th PA Day (Full Day)
Teaching staff will review and document assessment and evaluation data for the day.
Our Support Staff will be participating in a full day professional development session with the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC). presenters from the OFIFC will be providing training on Trauma Informed Education. Our Support Staff have completed Indigenous Cultural Competency (ICCT) Cycle 1 training and therefore have met the training requirements for Trauma Informed Education. Learning outcomes from this session will include:
- Examining the impact of historic trauma on students and families within the education systems
- Exploring trauma informed approaches that enhance and support student success
- Understanding how educators can foster more respect and relationships with Indigenous children and families
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school directly at (519) 977-2200.
