I voted against the motion to extend the government's emergency powers until Dec 2021 without oversight. I appreciate the gov't has had to make tough calls on closures and lockdowns, but bill 195 is anti-democratic and wrong. Legislative oversight is vital. #onpoli

June is #IndigenousHistoryMonth & this year we are reminded of the ugly truth of Residential Schools in Canada. We acknowledge the inter-generational trauma that continues and commit to learning the truth and seeking reconciliation. #215children #TruthAndReconciliation

I’m confused....no more than 5 at outdoor gatherings but we need to hold graduation ceremonies outside for hundreds of children? Doug Ford Stephen Lecce please explain

Thinking about the Muslim students in our community and what they are feeling after the horrific hate-motivated killings in London, Ont. We are here to support you in any way we can. Please reach out to a trusted staff member if you need anything. #IslamophobiaIsTerrorism #wrdsb

The wasted time, effort and expense in disinfecting surfaces will be remembered as one of the epic fails of #COVID19. And we’re still doing it.

This is why we support all of our students to reach for their dreams by ensuring they can always be successful at school despite perceived obstacles. x.com/OleksiakPenny/…

My son’s teachers are busy updating Google Classroom right now. Literally giving us links to levelled books & doing all they can to ease the transition. And people like Kimiko Shibata 🦋 are sharing resources online for other educators. Sending 💜 to Education Workers 4 all you do!

We are all impacted by mental health & mental illness - in our families, schools, communities. Listen. Don’t judge or assume. Practice empathy. Reach out if you need help. Mental health is health. #BellLetsTalk

Asking for help or support is not a weakness. That shows strength and courage. #BellLetsTalk

As we wind down our first #MTH1W course, we wanted to capture "How We Ensured Student Success in a Destreamed Class." #onted #mtbos #equity #udl #learnerprofiles #DI #triangulation #hpemath #thinkingclassroom Jenny Lyons Alyssa Leavitt Peter Liljedahl Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com)

The images of hate carried through the streets of our nation’s capital were harmful and distressing. Here in the WRDSB we teach students about rights of free speech, the right to assemble and how to participate in democracy. 1/2

Finally, my last stop was at Grand River CI (Grand River) in #Kitchener. For the first time ever being with @WRDSB, I had the chance to go inside a school to visit with staff and students - and WOW was I excited! The passion for learning and teaching was visible. (4/5)

From the Townships to #Kitchener, #Waterloo and #Cambridge we are diverse staff working to help all students rise to their highest potential. This is #WRDSB and we all belong here! #WRDSBAwesome (5/5)
