Join Parents partenaires en éducation to explore the essentials of EQAO's large-scale testing and discover how to actively support your children's success.
In this webinar, parents will learn more about the Education Quality and Accountability Office's (EQAO) Ontario-wide tests. Topics covered include the purpose of the provincial assessments; what the new online tests are and how they relate to the Ontario Curriculum; how the results are used to improve learning in public schools; and how parents and guardians can support their children. Come and ask your questions live and explore the testing platform!
A solar eclipse is expected to peak at 3:10 p.m. in Thunder Bay. Since this peak corresponds to the time when many of our students will be leaving school, we have decided, in the interests of safety, to send students home between 11:30 a.m. and noon, in consultation with the other school boards.
We're pleased to invite you to a special evening of recap where we'll share our memories, anecdotes and photos from this unforgettable trip. Please upload your photos by April 5 to Brooklynn Watty's ONEDRIVE e-mail. We look forward to reliving these magical moments together!
The evening will take place on April 10 at 6 p.m. in the La Vérendrye cafeteria. We'll have delicious pizzas to accompany our discussions and reunions.
We sincerely hope you can join us for this memorable evening. Your stories and photos will be the perfect finishing touch to our trip.
