I hope that you have enjoyed your break from school and are ready to return refreshed for a new year of learning. The beginning of the school year usually comes with a mixed bag of emotions, from excitement and optimism to anticipation and even a little anxiety. Just remember that however you're feeling as your return to school this August is OK, and to be aware of how you are adjusting to the familiar routines, challenges, and opportunities of the school year so that you can make the most of this new beginning!
I will be keeping a website in addition to using Google Classroom this year to help streamline communication with students and parents. The Classroom page of this site will include information and updates about coursework for both students and parents, with links to Google Classroom for students (remember: students will need to log in to their @gapps.yrdsb.ca accounts in order to access Google Classroom, Google Docs, and other Google Apps for Education resources).
Parents, the idea behind creating this site is to help give you some ongoing information about what students are doing in their classes, but please remember: accessing resources and completing coursework (including the problem-solving that may be needed to do either of those things) is the student's responsibility. Hopefully this site will help you support your child in taking on and managing that responsibility effectively.
Looking forward to an exciting year full of many new opportunities and experiences!
