As we near the end of the school
year, I want to thank you for all that you do to strengthen our schools and
communities. This is a good time to celebrate your child’s achievements over
the past year.
One of our goals in the Trustees’ Multi-Year
Plan is to “continuously increase student achievement and well-being
through a culture and caring and learning.” That includes a culture that
emphasizes engagement and positive relationships among all the members of the
school community – students, staff members, families and community members.
You, as parents/guardians, are our
most important partners when it comes to education. The support you have
provided to your child throughout this past school year will help to strengthen
our schools and make a difference to your child’s learning.
I encourage you to continue
engaging your child in learning throughout the summer, and to help them to see
the connections between what they are learning in school and the world around
them. There are so many opportunities to do this over the summer, whether
that’s planning a budget with your child, enjoying the natural beauty in York
Region, reading a book or visiting local sites. Whatever your plans are this
summer, I wish you all a successful end to the school year, and a safe and
enjoyable summer.
