Dear Jean Steckle families,

Census Time

It’s Census Time! The data collected will help with the building of new schools, community services, and services provided to schools. 

Tips for Remote Learning

To help our student in remote learning, please consider implementing a few of these best practices:

-Be on time and ready to learn.

-If possible, try to keep your camera on so the teachers can see if you are understanding the information being shared.

-Have your microphone off and raise your hand to speak.

-Turn in your assignments (don’t worry if it is late).

-Ask your teachers for help. They are here to support you.

-Have fun and try your best!

Nutrition for Learning – Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. at Jean Steckle Public School

We are excited to have the Nutrition for Learning Pop Up Snack program visit Jean Steckle every Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. Nutrition for Learning will provide families in our community with free, healthy snacks for children.

Lunch and Learning Sessions for Families

As part of our ongoing efforts to support WRDSB parents, caregivers and families, our psychology staff are offering a number of lunch and learn sessions for WRDSB parents, caregivers and family members. These webinars, scheduled over the lunch hour every Wednesday, aim to equip parents with useful tips and information to assist them in supporting their child.
