Acknowledgements & Upcoming Events & Dates North Toronto welcomes Amy Ferguson to the Math department. Amy will be replacing Mr. Haughton for the remainder of the year on days 1 and 3 (MPM2D and MCR3U). March 25-29: North Toronto celebrates Mental Health Awareness Week! March 27: Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test All Grade 10 students will be writing the OSSLT from 8:45 - 12:25. There will be remediation opportunities for all students in the afternoon. Regular classes will resume on Thursday March 28 at 9 am. School Council news! Next School Council meeting: Monday April 1, 2019 at 7:30 pm<x-apple-data-detectors://0> 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 will speak to issues of specific interest to the NTCI community. Mr. Mack will provide us with highlights and "feelings from the building" from the NTCI specific results of the TDSB's 2017 student and parent census. More than 220,000 students and parents across Toronto completed the census, providing a comprehensive picture of students, their school experiences, relationships at school, physical health, and emotional well-being. We are hoping to have a good discussion with parents on these topics and the special attributes and challenges of our school. Your input will be used to formulate future plans for the school. Please join us! Our School Council Meeting on Monday, April 29th at 7:30 pm<x-apple-data-detectors://1> will provide an expanded opportunity for parent input and discussion. Stay tuned for more details.
