#OrangeShirtDay on September 30. #WRDSB students and staff are encouraged to wear orange to honour residential school survivors and those who did not survive.
It is one way we can come together and recognize past transgressions towards Indigenous people. wrdsb.social/OrangeShirtDay

Going for walks is an excellent time to talk about math with your child. You’ll be surprised how much math talk you can have when you look for the math in your very own neighborhood.

Trustee @Karen_Meissner_ asks if there is a protocol in place for masks when they are not in use (ie: outdoor learning, nutrition break, etc.).
Superintendent @Bill_Lemon_SO says labelled, resealable plastic bags, providing the mask is clean and dry, is safe storage. #WRDSBmtg
