Acknowledgements Upcoming Events From Trustee Laskin! Next ward forum: Tuesday January 22, 2019 Locations: Library, Forest Hill Jr/Sr Public School – 78 Dunloe Road, Toronto (South of Eglinton, just off Spadina Rd - #33 Forest Hill Bus from St Clair W Station – Parking on-site) Time: 7-8:30 pm School Council news! School Council contact address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Next School Council meeting: Monday January 28, 2019 at 7:30 pm in room 215 Our guest will be newly re-elected Trustee Shelley Laskin who has served our school for years but who is now also responsible for schools in the area to our north (former Wards 8 and 11 were joined into a single new Ward 8). The much smaller 22-member board, over half newly-elected, faces challenges in maintaining effective connections with the parent community, working with a new Ontario government, and dealing with an uncertain future operating North America’s largest school board. Shelley will provide us with an update on where the Board is going generally, and also will identify issues of specific interest to the NTCI community. She will be most interested in your reactions and views. We are also hoping to have a good discussion with parents on the special attributes and challenges of our school: what distinguishes NTCI, and what challenges and opportunities exist for it now and in the upcoming years. Your input will be used to formulate future plans for the school. Please join us! From the Guidance department! Course Selection Information night for Parents: Wednesday January 30 at 6:30 pm. Please join members of our Student Services department for an information session focusing on the upcoming submission of course selection sheets for the next academic year.
