  1. Math Resources

The Ministry of Education has released new resources to help support families and parents in understanding key math learning across grades 1 – 3.  These resources are available on our school website at https://shl.wrdsb.ca/parent-information/

 

  1. Family Supports

FamilyCompassWR.ca was created by members of the Children and Youth Planning Table (local service providers who work with children, youth and families in Waterloo Region). The Children and Youth Planning Table heard from families and youth that knowing where to look for services and programs can be tough. The vision was to create one online starting point that would make it easier for families and youth (and others!) to navigate the options, as well as make it easier to find help when needed.

Today, FamilyCompassWR.ca offers the option to find information about general services for children and youth as well as specialized services that can help address developmental concerns. It also offers a link to resources designed for parents through the Parenting Now website https://parentingnow.org/

 

  1. Fundraising Campaign

School Council has teamed up with Dieleman Fundraising on a fundraising campaign that will run until April 11th.  Home and Kitchen, Gourmet and Outdoor Living products are available for purchase.  Please review the catalogues that have come home with your children this week.  Cool prizes are available for every level of sales achieved.  Thank you in advance for your support.
