Disappointed with Peel District School Board - Feb12 PAday is being scheduled on a Holy Day. How is that demonstrating inclusivity? Those whom celebrate must choose btwn a cultural/religious celebration or taking NEEDED time to plan... Elementary Educators ETFO Peel @etfopresident how is this ok?

ETFO Peel Feb 12 is a holy day. I thought that PD was not supposed to fall on holy days? How is this inclusive?

ETFO Peel Those observing the Lunar New Year will be forced to choose between using their time to prepare for reorganization or celebrate an important cultural day. Not sure this is fair.

REMINDER: Peel students will move to online learning starting January 4, 2021, with the exception of some students with special education needs.

➡️Read an update sent to all families on Dec. 30: peelschools.org/media/newsrele…

Universities need to stop renewing commitments to tackling racism, stop re-promoting anti-racist training & stop recommencing fact finding missions. All of which have been done & done. Universities need to start explaining why their repeated commitments & pledges never work out.

Today, the Government of Ontario announced that all schools will move to online learning starting January 4.
🔹All elementary students will learn remotely from Jan. 4 to 8
🔹All secondary students will learn remotely from Jan. 4 to 22
