The Week in
Review…
Molly (a former BHES student) presented Helia, Cheryl .C.
and Connie (Grade 6 students in Ms. Leder’s class) with certificates and
letters from Sick Kids Hospital to acknowledge their leadership within the class
to help Molly with her Sick Kids Book Drive. The books were delivered over
the December break and helped to make a difference in the lives of many of the
patients at Sick Kids. The entire class also received a certificate and a
letter to thank them for all the generous book donations. A special thanks to
the parents for supporting this initiative.
Message From Our Trustee
With report cards coming home, this is a good time of year
to review your child’s progress and to set goals for the rest of the school
year.
As trustees, our goals are set out in the Board Multi-Year
Plan. In the coming months, trustees will be reviewing and updating this plan.
This process will include opportunities for public input, and trustees will be
out in the communities talking about this. More information will be shared
about this in the spring.
Developing and reviewing the Multi-Year Plan is just one of
our responsibilities as publicly elected officials. Trustee responsibilities
also include hiring the Director of Education, setting Board policies and the annual
budget, and communicating with the public.
This is a good time to learn more about the role of trustees
with the next municipal election taking place later this year on October 22,
2018. York Region District School Board has 12 trustees, elected by ratepayers.
As a trustee, listening and communicating with families is an important part of
my role. Students, families and members of the public are welcome to attend and
observe any public Board, Advisory or Board Committee meetings and to share
their views with us on policy and Board governance.
As we move into the second half of the year, I hope that you
are seeing evidence of your child’s learning and progress, and finding
opportunities to get involved in their learning and the life of the school.
I wish you all the best for a successful second term.
