I love seeing the connectedness and community our schools create within their spaces. Thanks to administrators, students, custodial staff, educators and support staff for working to make our schools welcoming and safe, and encouraging growth, inquiry and individuality. ^jc (2/2)

On International #PronounsDay, we remind you to ASK, RESPECT and PRACTICE a person's pronouns. Let's all prevent the harm that can be caused by gender discrimination by actioning #TransInclusion. Using and honouring an individual's pronouns can have a life-affirming impact.

Starting tomorrow, #WRDSB flags will be lowered to half-mast at our schools and offices to honour the 215 Indigenous children whose remains were found at Kamloops Residential School. As an educational institution, this recent finding is most appalling. wrdsb.social/3i5h73k

Reminder to Indigenous people: whenever our collective traumas become widely discussed and analyzed, you don’t owe anyone outside your community a response. It’s not your job to educate the uneducated. Your health is your priority. Take care of yourself.

Please be careful, #WRDSB families, around all bodies of water especially in the coming days. With the mild temperatures and rain in the forecast, water levels can rise quickly.
