Revised Meeting Date and Time

September is always a busy month, especially when you have kids in different schools! After the date was set for the first council meeting I heard through the grapevine that there was a conflict that evening with a feeder school's Meet The Teacher night!

We want to make sure that everyone who wants to come out to the meeting can and so we have moved the meeting to the next day.

The first meeting is now on THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 26 at 6:30pm.

This meeting has a very full agenda including info on how the government cuts are affecting our kids and what the year may look like if unions begin to take job actions. As well, we hope to take a look at what council wishes to focus on this year and how we can shape our council to meet those needs. This will be a very informative evening and if you can only attend one meeting this year, this is the one to attend!

Hope to see many new faces next week!

Our kids are learning in the classroom; as parents and caregivers we have a responsibility to learn and understand and act too! Today take a few minutes to begin reading the Calls To Action and tomorrow I will have a

Not The Year We Expected .....

Well, what a year 2020 is turning out to be, one we will never forget and one that our kids will tell tales of to future generations. But while we are able to one day tell stories of this time, many are still trying to come to terms with this new way of life. It is not easy and for many it is down right scary, if you need any help at all, you can reach out to your extended Bloordale family at anytime :) The TDSB has so many links at your finger tips to help you get started in finding help where you need it; from online learning to mental health, the website has got you many starting points. From one parent to another, you know your kids and if you can see that they are having trouble adjusting to the new school norms, reach out to your child's teacher; we are all in this together and this is new and unprecedented for all of us :) Looking for some online resources, the TDSB website may have what you need. To help you navigate, here are some specific links on the TDSB Website:
