World Down Syndrome Day: On March 21st, choose some socks that are going to get noticed! They might be mismatched socks or your most colourful socks, whatever takes your fancy. The idea is to start a conversation, so when people ask you about your socks you can tell them. “I’m wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome”. And then you can tell them everything you want them to know about Down syndrome.
EarlyON Child and Family Centres: Is your child starting JK or SK in September? The Simcoe County EarlyON Child and Family Centres are excited to offer in person and virtual programs that help prepare children and parents/guardians for Kindergarten. Parents/guardians and children will have the opportunity to interact together in a variety of school readiness activities. We will look at and discuss how does learning happen, self-regulation, social skills, and how to get ready to start school. If program registration is full, please check back regularly as there may be cancellations. To register for a program in your area visit www.earlyonsimcoenorth.ca/GRFK.
How is your infant, toddler, or preschool child developing? : Is your child meeting their milestones? Age-appropriate speech and language skills are critical to your child’s ability to read, write and be successful in school as well as to their ability to engage with their peers. Free services are available to support you with your child’s development. Preschool speech and language programs are located across the County of Simcoe. Call (705) 739-5696 or 1-800-675-1979 to complete a developmental screen. The earlier we work together, the better!
Covid Screening: All students and staff are encouraged to complete the daily COVID-19 self-assessment screening tool
prior to entering SCDSB schools and buildings and follow the direction of the screening tool. We have some RA Test kits here at the school. If you need one for your family please let your child’s teacher know and we will send it home with them. School and Child Care Screening: https://www.ontario.ca/school-screening/
