Staying Connected

Families are important, valued partners in ensuring the success for every student at the TDSB.

Families are encouraged to stay connected with their local school and with the TDSB. Some ways include:

  • reading the teacher's/school's blog or webpage (i.e., Google Classroom)
  • using student agendas to communicate between home and school
  • following the teacher and/or school's Twitter account
  • attending class or school-wide events
  • volunteering in the classroom 
  • taking part in the School Council
  • taking part in one of the Community Advisory Councils, such as the French as a Second Language Community Advisory Council (FSLCAC)
