Dear Families,<\/p>\n
These are challenging times. We want you to know that your WRDSB family is here for you, working to reconnect classroom communities in support of your children.<\/p>\n
Over the next week, things will look different from what we are used to. Educators are working on finding different ways to connect with students.<\/p>\n
As teachers work to establish new learning opportunities, we encourage you to work together as a family to think about when are the best times to engage in at-home learning. We are aware that families will commit to different amounts of time and support for learning at home.<\/p>\n
Parents and caregivers are key partners in their child\u2019s learning. Including your child in family activities like cooking, cleaning, game nights – even watching TV together – create opportunities to talk and learn together. We encourage you to continue to participate in these opportunities.<\/p>\n
Our focus is to create rich learning experiences that families can engage in, as they are able. Our situation is changing daily but we are all committed to student well-being. We are working together to support students, families and each other during this time.<\/p>\n
The WRDSB has provided some online learning activities at WRDSB@Home<\/a> for families with students in elementary school. The Ontario government also has learning activities at their Learn At Home site<\/a>. We are working hard to provide personalized and equitable learning experiences for all of our students during this time.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These are challenging times.
