Mental Health and Wellness RCCDSB Plans
It is a pleasure to add our strategic plan for the next 3 years for mental health and wellness.
Social Emotional Learning
This year teachers have been given a home grown package of social emotional learning lessons for all grades with the help of a talented team of our own educators. This can support all students in coming back into the classroom and remembering that community, connection and collaboration are all important parts of the classroom! Together we can empower our children with resilience activities – learning that we can all benefit from.
