MESSAGE FROM CHAIR OF THE BOARD SHAUN CHEN AND DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION DONNA QUAN: Dear TDSB community, It has been difficult to hear the reports and see the images emerging out of Nepal following the powerful earthquake that devastated the South Asian country over the weekend. Sadly, the death toll continues to rise each day, thousands have been left injured and an estimated 8.1 million people are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance: food, shelter, primary medical care and clean water. The death and destruction caused by the earthquake is not confined to this distant part of the world. Family, friends and relatives of a number of people in our city - and in our schools - are lost or missing halfway around the globe. To those who have lost loved ones or who are still anxiously awaiting word of their safety, the Toronto District School Board extends its deepest condolences. Our collective thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Please know that our psychology and social work staff will be working with principals to identify students and staff who may need support. In recognition of our shared thoughts, flags will be lowered to half-staff at each of our schools on Monday, May 4th. We will also observe a moment of silence throughout the Board that day. Shaun Chen Donna Quan Chair Director of Education How can you help? Fundraising information is available on our school website, ntci.on.ca. _______________________________________________ Please do not reply to this e-mail.
