January 2020

Wishing all of the families in our classroom a very prosperous and happy Lunar New Year!

I have been offline for a few weeks due to job action and a very limited work day.  As you know, Ontario teachers are trying to negotiate with the Provincial Government on the future of our children's education.  Work to rule has meant a reduced work day, an end to field trips, the loss of many extra-curriculars and the most recent, the TDSB deciding to not send home Term 1 Report Cards.

As such, a letter will be sent home this week inviting you to an interview with me, on Friday, February 14th.  I am available between 8:30 and 3:30 and would be happy to meet and discuss your child's progress in Term 1.  Meetings are purely voluntary on your part - if I have concerns about your child's progress, I have already reached out to you to meet or discuss by phone.

Thanks for your patience and support.
