This is a friendly reminder from the TDSB that you have one week left to participate in the 2019-20 Budget Community Survey. The survey is open to everyone – parents, guardians, students, staff and community members – to share feedback on how money is spent and resources are aligned to best support all students at the Toronto District School Board. This information will help Trustees make decisions regarding the upcoming budget.
The survey was originally sent to all parents and guardians across the TDSB on Thursday, March 7, 2019.
Deadline to participate is Tuesday, April 2, 2019.
We are seeking parent volunteers to be part of the consultation process regarding class allocation for the 2019-20 school year. The meeting will take place on March 27th at 1pm. We need 2 from JK/SK, one from English stream and one from French stream, 2 from Gr. 1-3 and 2 from 4-6.

Dear Parent/Guardian, Over the past few days, there have been a number of media reports about something called the “Momo Challenge.” This “challenge” is found online and allegedly encourages children, through social media messaging apps, to carry out dangerous tasks, such as harming themselves or others. Quite frankly, we are receiving conflicting reports over what this “challenge” truly entails or if it is even real. While we would never want to perpetuate a hoax, given the significant amount of media coverage and the number of questions we are receiving from staff, parents and students, we felt this was an opportunity to remind parents and children about online safety in today’s digital world. In the TDSB, schools have been made aware of these reports and can provide further classroom support and encourage good digital citizenship. School social workers are also available should any mental health supports be needed. Parental awareness and involvement is an important piece too. Being aware of potentially harmful online trends and explaining them to your child in an age appropriate way is valuable. We encourage parents/guardians to keep the dialogue open with your children about their mental health and emotional well-being. Making your home a safe space for these conversations will help ensure your child feels comfortable bringing their questions and concerns forward. Additionally, the following list can help you keep your children safe while online:
You may find some additional tips at www.cybertip.ca and www.prevnet.ca As always, should you have any questions or concerns about your child’s well-being, please reach out to the school Principal. Sincerely, |
| John Malloy Director of Education |
