Parent/Guardian/Caregiver Book Club Update

Hi everyone, while working to develop a parent book club it is becoming apparent that there are not a lot of people who want to commit to a formal club with meetings at the moment, which I totally understand. At the end of the day the last thing I feel like doing is jumping on another Zoom meeting. So, to try and make this easier for anyone who is interested I have put together a Google Classroom that can be used as a place to connect and discuss on our own time.

I will include an invitation in the May Council Update but as the room is set up and has some book suggestions ready you can sign up here:

So why use a Google Classroom? So many of us are learning to navigate around these "virtual classes" or at least our kids are and so because of that I thought why not keep all our info in one place and use this platform as best we can.  If anyone needs help, our kids will be able to find what we need! 

But of course if you do need more help send me an email at bloordaleparents@gmail.com

Please keep in mind that this is a Parent-Run Volunteer book club and will not be run by school staff.

Calls To Action - Truth and Reconciliation Sept 30

This week, Thursday to be exact, our country recognizes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.   This week each day on the blog we will provide resources you and your family can use to better understand what this day means and why it is needed. Many of us are only learning in recent months and years about the atrocities that occurred to our Indigenous communities over the past 155 years and beyond.  Today I am leaving the link that provides the document that contains the 94 Calls Of Action that were developed by the TRC (the Truth and Reconciliation Commission) in 2015. Even at that time many Canadians did not know about the work being done and only as the discoveries that were made this summer and those that continue to be made has these calls come back to light. 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:
