This morning, #WRDSB system leaders are gathering together virtually and at Bingemans to kick off the 2022-23 school year! Thank you to Superintendent Evelyn Giannopoulos as she welcomes all guests. #LiveWRDSB

This is our Ethical Core. WRDSBDirector says this is what brought us all to education, and it’s what keeps us here. “It is what should move us to continually ask ourselves, am I leading from a place of love in this moment. As we do our work, it is going to be…” #LiveWRDSB

Up next, we have Associate Director Lila Read as she takes the stage one last time and speaks at her final system leaders meeting. Lila retires from #WRDSB on September 30. Thank you Lila for your leadership, guidance and genuine love of #education. We will miss you! #LiveWRDSB

With #BackToSchool only ONE WEEK away, we thought we would do something fun to get our students, staff and families excited...😁 We are reintroducing the #FirstDayPhotoChallenge. 📸 (See thread for instructions)

To our school bus families: we have an important STSWR update for you. 🚌 We are experiencing a driver shortage and this is impacting bus service. Some routes will be cancelled using the same approach as last school year. Visit our website for details. wrdsb.social/3r0mzrv

This news is very upsetting for many families of students who will not be able to get to school. Please remember to be kind to our STSWR bus drivers. Late buses and cancellations of bus routes are not their fault. Bus drivers are doing the best they can to keep things running.

Late notices are operating more accurately now. Please note that our decision to cancel buses on a rotating basis starting Monday September 19 will help special education services be more reliable. Thank you for your patience.

Today, we say goodbye to Associate Director Lila Read. 👋🏽 Thank you for your steadfast leadership, for always putting #WRDSB students first, and for helping us set important strategic priorities. We are grateful you have chosen to be with us for 25 years. Happy retirement, Lila!

Today is #CustodialAppreciationDay! On this day, we want to take this opportunity to highlight our incredible maintenance and custodial staff and thank them for their dedication to keeping our sites clean and safe for #WRDSB students and staff. Thank you! wrdsb.social/3LXvRy3
