Staying Connected with School

Families are important, valued partners in ensuring the success for every student at the TDSB. Families are encouraged to stay connected with their local school and with the TDSB. Some ways include:

reading the teacher's/school's blog or webpage (i.e. Google Classroom)
using student agendas to communicate between home and school
following the teacher and/or school's and TDSB Twitter account
attending school-wide events if able
taking part in the School Council
taking part in one of the Community Advisory Councils, such as Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC)
