MESSAGE TO ALL TCDSB STAFF

Welcome back to a new school year with the Toronto Catholic District School Board. To new staff, welcome to our family and we hope you enjoy working with us. We hope you had a restful summer and enjoyed the good weather with family and friends. In June we wrote to you providing an update on our financial situation. With our final budget figures now available we project that we will have a deficit of $34.6 million this year. This is due mainly to fundamental flaws in the government funding formula. First and foremost, we do not intend to reduce staff or services this year. Protecting programs and appropriate staffing levels that service and support our student population will always remain a priority throughout the discussions. According to the funding formula, we would have had to cut Special Education programming by $9 million to file a balanced budget by next August 31st. We would also have had to cut $10.4 million from school operations and maintenance, $5 million for teachers and $3 million in transportation. This was not acceptable to the Board of Trustees. We are working to find a solution that does not jeopardize children’s programs and services. Here’s what’s happening now: • We congratulate and welcome the newly appointed Minister of Education, the Honourable Kathleen Wynn. We look forward to working with her in our efforts to find solutions to the many unresolved issues in education. • The former Education Minister granted us an extension beyond the August 31st deadline to allow us to collaborate with a Special Assistance Team. • The Team will examine the feasibility of our Budget Plan options, to give the Board and the Ministry confidence that all reasonable budgetary options have been considered and to ensure a sound timeline is in place to file a budget. • The Team is expected to comment on the potential impact of any reductions required to align expenditures with grants and indicate shortfalls where they might occur. • The Team has also been asked to provide a high level analysis of an integrated capital plan (Toronto Solution) and its potential costs and savings. Consultation Process As soon as we receive the Team’s report we will provide further information on our next steps in addressing the funding issues. This board is committed to consulting and we will let you know further details as this process continues. Please watch the Board’s website at www.tcdsb.org for more budget updates, or call the Board’s 24-hour information line at 416-222-8282 ext 2873. Our top priority is to maintain TCDSB’s high level of service and provide a quality Catholic education to our students. As a new school year begins, we wish each and every one of you a very successful year. Sincerely,

Oliver Carroll Kevin Kobus Chair of the Board Director of Education

Fall Clean-up and Tree Planting with Toronto Parks, Forestry & Recreation

Last September, Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation (PF&R) invited all schools to participate in a Fall clean-up event in nearby City parks. The response was very enthusiastic and PF&R have decided to make this an annual event. If your school is located next to or close to a City park, you are invited to participate in the Fall 2006 Park Clean-up event.

The clean-up can take place any week day between October 23 and November 3 during regular school hours.

This past spring, schools that registered for a Park Clean-up were eligible for a draw to have a tree planted in the nearby park. Highfield PF&R is again offering the tree planting opportunity for schools participating in the Fall 2006 Clean-up.

On the clean-up day, PF&R staff will give a pre-clean-up presentation and review safety rules. After the clean-up, PF&R will remove all collected litter and recyclables. Teachers are expected to provide a First Aid kit and supply their students with gloves and grocery bags for litter collection.

To register your school, complete the attached Park Clean-up Registration Form and e-mail or fax it to Yukiko Pinto at [email protected] or 416-392-8221 no later than Friday, October 6, 2006. Individual classes will be accommodated on a first come, first served basis. The number of classes accommodated will be up to the discretion of each Park Supervisor.

Questions on the Community Clean-up Program? Contact Sean Hurley, Officer – Recycling/Waste Management at 416- 676-6901 or [email protected].

Questions about getting involved in your local park? Contact Yukiko Pinto at 416-392-9463 or [email protected]

Through a partnership with the City of Toronto, the Toronto Star and both Toronto District School Boards, curriculum- related teachers’ kits for grades 4-8 will be available from the Toronto Star to support the Spring 2007 Community Clean-up events. More information will be available in future issues of The Director’s Bulletin.

PF&R will again be inviting schools to join them during the Spring Community Clean-up events scheduled for April 2007.

Principals are asked to share this message with their staff and the Parent Council.

This beautiful little book is for children and the wounded child in all of us. We are all called like Rainbow (with Autumn) to climb the mysterious mountain of our lives. - Jean Vanier, Founder of L’Arche

A message from the author: Diane Dupuy of Famous PEOPLE Players I am sure you have heard the phrase that all of our mothers and our mother’s mothers coined “…when life turns to lemons make lemonade.” I wrote The Teacher & the Soul after having experienced the personal tragedy of witnessing one of my daughters currently lost in the world of addiction - a broken soul in a downward spiral falling off cliff after cliff. This personal and heart breaking journey for us as parents has drenched our pillows with tears. Thus, began my plight to help young people and their families avoid the same destructive path. I’ve learned that no matter how dark one’s life becomes there is a candle waiting to be lit. This can only happen if you stay in the NOW and know that every moment presents a new chance at life.

The Teacher & the Soul will take you on a journey through the fearlessness and endurance it takes to battle addiction and the strength it takes to avoid peer pressure and make conscious-decisions. Together we can spread the sunshine and discover that when fear comes knocking at the door faith opens and nobody’s there.

Open your mind. Spark your imagination. Free your creativity. Be….inspired. Check out our website (for the books) at www.beyondblacklight.com

School's in after eight-year wait TAMARA SHEPHARD Etobicoke - The Guardian 09/12/06

The first day of high school, an exciting or a daunting prospect when you're a teen. But junior anxiety took a back seat Monday as 235 Grade 9 Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School students entered their shiny new $29-million school flush with natural light, 25 large classrooms boasting spectacular views of the lake, an apple orchard and the Lakeshore Grounds.

"There only used to be ESA (Etobicoke School of the Arts)," said Sami Cooney, 13, a Grade 9 student enrolled in drama. Redmond is the only high school regional arts centre in the Toronto Catholic District School Board. "Now there's a Catholic version. The school's really pretty. And because everybody's new here, you don't have to worry about getting lost."

The wait for a new school was long - eight years - largely due to an inches-high pile of cross leases on the property, Angelo Sangiorgio, superintendent of facilities and planning with the TCDSB has said. Previously, the board leased the former Alderwood Collegiate - a 50-year-old building in a state of deterioration - for 21 years from the Toronto public school board.

The new Redmond is built on 2.4 hectares of property known as the Lakeshore Grounds. It's adjacent to the green lawns and towering trees of Colonel Samuel Smith Park, a $4-million renovated Assembly Hall and renovated Humber College buildings.

TCDSB's only other arts school is Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts in North York, a full school for the arts. Following a successful audition, Redmond students may enrol in drama, visual arts, music or drama.

Redmond is partnering with neighbouring Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning to share instructors, and to allow high school students to attend guest lectures in the arts, said Redmond principal Dianne Parwicki. Humber's Lakeshore campus is largely arts focused.

After a pizza lunch Monday, the "niners" sat on the concrete floor of the 130,000-square-foot school's airy atrium awaiting direction. Some Grade 12 seniors assisted in their orientation.

"Everything's new, the building is modern," said Philip Nguyen, 17, a Grade 12 student in the school's leadership and gifted program, who also sits on the student council. "I'm ending my high school career on a good note."

The three-storey building is complete with security cameras, wheelchair ramps, automatic doors, an elevator and two TTC bus stops at either main entrance. A double gymnasium will be open to community use with a permit three nights a week after 6 p.m., Parwicki said.

Redmond enjoys the distinction of having the largest number of sports teams per capita of any high school in Toronto, the principal added. Sports offerings include hockey, lacrosse and rugby.

"It's an absolutely amazing facility," Parwicki said of the 1,000-student capacity school. "We've got all the bells and whistles in here. Our students are extremely fortunate to have these facilities and these programs."

CSAC (Catholic School Advisory Council) chair Karli Plesko said the new school is a testament to the power of perseverance.

"It's the grass roots, people working together, being persistent for something you believe in," she said, of endless phone calls by parents to the TCDSB years ago advocating for a new school. "It's more spacious, and the scenery down there (the Lakeshore Grounds) is just gorgeous. It's nice to see the finished product."

Statistics Canada Learning Resources for Teachers and Students (E-STAT)

Teachers and students can now access E-STAT from home; they simply need to enter user name and password noted below. If they are accessing E-STAT from their schools, no user name or password is required.

USER NAME: TCDSBSTAT (case sensitive) PASSWORD: estat

You can access E-STAT on Statistics Canada's website at http://www.statcan.ca under Learning resources or directly at http://estat.statcan.ca.

E-STAT offers an enormous warehouse of reliable and timely statistics about Canada and its ever-changing people. In E- STAT, you will find: • CANSIM (data updated annually during the summer months) • Census of Population, Agriculture and Search map 2001 (data updated every five years) • Human Activity and the Environment (updated annually) • Aboriginal Peoples Survey (updated every ten years) • Canada Food Stats (updated twice a year)

"Statistics Canada’s Education Outreach activities include in-service and in class workshops for teachers and students. The goal is to increase awareness and demonstrate the integration of free Statistics Canada Learning Resources into Ontario curriculum. Participation in the Census at School Project, an on-line activity, provides opportunities to develop math and statistical literacy, data management, technology, critical thinking and communication skills using classroom data. For further information on the Census at School Project and Learning Resources workshops, please contact Sandra McIntyre - Statistics Canada – at 416-973-9847 or [email protected]"

Statistics Canada would be pleased to provide in-service and classroom training sessions for teachers to demonstrate how the wealth of free Statistics Canada data, articles and lesson plans can support and integrate curriculum in Math, Social Sciences, Computer Studies, Health, Family Studies and more.

For example, Census at School is an exciting project that combines fun with learning. Each student completes an online questionnaire and gathers non-confidential information to create a dataset about their own class to be used in activities designed to meet specific curriculum expectations: · How to collect and organize primary and secondary data · How to interpret and draw conclusions from data · How to use different graph types to describe data relationships for best representation · Verification of a hypothesis · Exploration of a theme More learning activities are available at http://www19.statcan.ca/02/02_004_e.htm

This project helps develop math and statistical literacy, data management, technology and critical thinking skills as participating students will measure, investigate and compare data.

Whether working with the support of a Statistics Canada Resource Teacher or participating independently in Census at School, the teacher and class require about two hours of class time. In preparation for participation, students can record the specified body measurements and preview the survey questions, which are available at http://www19.statcan.ca/01/01_000_e.htm. On the day of the activity, about thirty minutes are used to explain the Census and help students fill out and submit the survey in the computer lab. In addition, another hour or so is scheduled to help students analyze the class results and make comparisons with Canadian and international results in a way that addresses the teacher’s specific curriculum expectations.

MORLEY S. WOLFE YOUTH BOOK COMPETITION "CHALLENGING RACISM AND CELEBRATING DIFFERENCES"

Toronto Residents In Partnership (TRIP) is a not-for-profit organization and direct successor to the former Mayor’s Committee on Community, Race and Ethnic Relations. Its mandate is to promote racial harmony and understanding in the community.

The Morley S. Wolfe Youth Book Competition - “Challenging Racism and Celebrating Differences” provides a wonderful opportunity to encourage literacy skills, focus on anti-racist education, and provide students with the chance to help educate younger learners in this very important area.

High school students are given the opportunity to work individually or in groups to develop stories and design booklets appropriate for children at the elementary level (K-6), that will serve as learning tools which emphasize the importance of challenging racism in a constructive way wherever it is encountered, or the need to understand and respect diversity. TRIP will ensure the books are distributed to community organizations around Toronto.

All submissions are celebrated and displayed at the Annual Awards Banquet attended by students, teachers, members of the business community, school board trustees, and members of all three levels of government. This year the Banquet will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2006 at The Thorncliffe Banquet Centre, 45 Overlea Boulevard (Don Mills and Eglinton).

The prestigious adjudication panel includes Susan McClelland, Kathy Kacer, George Fynn and Henry Wong in addition to other distinguished community leaders, educators, journalists and editors. The authors of the award- winning books will be honoured with special presentations at the Awards Banquet.

The 2005 Youth Book Competition had over 130 submissions. Award winners came from David and Mary Thompson C.I., Sir Wilfred Laurier C.I., The Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto, The Peoples’ Christian Academy and from Loretto College School. In fact, TCDSB schools have produced winning entries in all three years of the competition’s history.

The Toronto Catholic District School Board, the OECTA TSU Toronto and TRIP encourage you to participate in this event with your students.

Attached you will find a sample award-winning book from a previous year’s Book Competition, information regarding deadlines for entering, and the criteria for the adjudication process.

To confirm your participation, please contact the T R I P office at (416) 395-6475 by September 29, 2006 or email us at [email protected]

Claims Processing for Orthotics, Orthopaedic Shoes and Compression Hose

As our benefits provider, one of Great West Life’s mandates is to ensure that benefits are paid fairly, accurately and promptly. Great West Life regularly audit claims payment efficiency and accuracy, and monitors claim trends. Great West Life has advised that over the past several years, there has been a significant increase in the volume of claims submitted for orthotics, orthopaedic shoes and compression hose. This is mainly attributable to a drastic increase in utilization. In recent claim audits conducted by Great West life, it was found that in some cases: • Orthotics or shoes were not medically necessary, • Suppliers have encouraged purchases based on plan coverage and not the plan member’s medical needs, and • Prices were very inconsistent.

To ensure that benefit utilization is reasonable, Great West life has modified some of their adjudication practices to: • Ensure that members receive the benefits that they are entitled to; and • Help better manage the cost of the benefit plan.

Implementation change Effective April 01, 2006 the following changes were implemented on all Great West plans, unless the plan specifically provides otherwise.

Orthotics and Orthopaedic shoes • Prescriptions for orthotics or orthopaedic shoes will be accepted from practitioners who are qualified to prescribe orthotics and orthopaedic shoes including a medical doctor, podiatrist or chiropodist. Prescriptions from physiotherapist or chiropractors will no longer be accepted.

Compression Hose Coverage will be limited to stockings with a compression factor of 20 mmhg or higher. This is to ensure that claims are paid on a medically necessary basis.

Please note that our benefits policy with Great West Life specifies that; • Custom built orthopaedic shoes, and orthopaedic modifications to shoes and orthotics, provided such shoes and modifications are recommended and approved by a licensed physician, a licensed podiatrist or licensed chiropodist, limited to one pair per calendar year for each covered person.

Given the above information, the above changes are adjudication changes only (not policy changes).

In addition, Great-West will not pay benefits directly to certain providers for which their audits have shown to have questionable claims practices. These providers will be advised in writing by Great-West that they will not send claim payments to them. Claim payments will be sent directly to the plan member who will be responsible for paying the provider themselves. Also, Great West Life has advised us that they will allow “first time forgiveness”. This means that if prior to April 01, 2006, a plan member had claims adjudicated under the previous adjudication rules, Great West Life will pay their next claim on that basis. The plan member will be advised by Great West Life that future claims will be adjudicated based on the new adjudication rules.

Should you require further information, please contact the Benefits and Compensation Department at 416-222-8282, extension 2219, 2220, 2151 or 2324.

Can a Child with Dyslexia Overcome Early Criticism?

Presented by: Jay Mandarino President and Founder, C.J. Graphics Inc.

Before being diagnosed with dyslexia, Jay Mandarino received low grades and was told by his teachers that he was “stupid”. Students teased and bullied him and he was told to forget university, perhaps even high school. Mr. Mandarino’s parents disagreed and, with their support, he eventually went on to earn a business degree and start his own multi-million dollar company. Renowned for his charismatic personality, Mr. Mandarino will present a heartwarming and informative evening where you will discover:

• How individuals with a learning disability can overcome life challenges • What resources contribute to the success of a person with dyslexia • How to mentor and encourage students with dyslexia

About the Presenter: Jay Mandarino has learned to live with dyslexia and has overturned early predictions of failure to become a successful businessman. Achievements include making his first million dollars by age 30 and being named Entrepreneur of the Year. Mr. Mandarino is the founder and owner of C.J. Graphics, an award-winning printing and bookbinding company recently named one of the Top 100 Profitable Companies in Canada. Active in philanthropic and civic affairs, Mr. Mandarino is the Co-Chair for the Learning Disabilities Association of Ontario “Stay in School” program and volunteers as an auctioneer for 50 charity events every year.
