As a mother, I have a first hand perspective on the decision’s parents need to make when choosing the best education for their child, I understand the importance of each decision. My daughter’s future is always on my mind, finding myself wanting what is best for her every second of the day. The care, attention and research we put into the choices we make for our children today will assist in shaping their future. This perspective has inspired me to put a considerable amount of time into the 9th Edition of The Annual Guide to Schools Magazine. Our mandate has always been, and continues to be, to provide resources for parents via our publication, social media platforms, and informative blogs on our website. We provide parents with timely, well-researched information surrounding a wide range of topics relating to education, providing them with resources both on and offline. Ultimately, our goal is to provide parents with the information they need to make the best decisions for their child’s education. The 9th Edition of the Annual Guide to Schools includes a variety of articles, topics and insights ranging from spirituality in schools to building self-esteem through song. We have found that social media and the use of technology continue to be hot topics for parents. As such, we have provided an article on iPad use and it’s affect on learning. A child’s online reputation has also been a frequent topic of discussion amongst parents. As issues surrounding safety on the Internet and the use of technology are wide spread, we hope these articles can provide you with in depth informa- tion to help you better protect your child when it comes to their use of the Internet and technology. The articles published within the Annual Guide to Schools are only a small collection of the many articles published on our website www.guidetoschools.ca. This tool acts as an additional resource of information for parents. In addition to this, information about the schools listed in our publication can also be found on our website.

School leaders were largely unprepared for the challenge of continuing to educate their students with physical schools closed. In North America, the response varied enormously. Many Canadian independent schools shifted their practices online within one-two weeks. Some were providing fully online classes in just a few days. Questions are now being raised, the answers to which are unclear in this unprecedented situation. What will we learn from this experience that will inform our practice as educators? What has this disruption taught us about the demands we will face as the rate of change accelerates? How must we shift our thinking and planning to ensure long-term sustainability? Within two weeks of the school closures, CAIS recognized the need to ensure that the critical lessons from the COVID-19 crisis would be captured and embedded into long range planning for future disruptions.

If you didn’t get to attend the 19th Annual CRC Robotics Competition held from February 13 to 15, 2020, you missed something sensational. The competition is Quebec’s largest and most thrilling hands-on learning event for high school and Cegep students. The excitement and the energy of 500 participating students and thousands of spectators cheering for their favourite teams and robots nearly blew the roof off the Vanier College gymnasium. Twenty-six teams participated in this year’s game called Flip 2020. "We were blown away by the relentless effort and grit displayed by this year’s participants more than ever. With a game requiring strategic thinking and strong decision-making skills, all teams accepted the challenge without skipping a beat. By Saturday, every team had their own game strategies and truly learned what it means to take the right decision at the right time,” states Natasha Vitale, one of the organizers of the CRC Robotics Competition. “As always, we were also very impressed with the kind of cooperation we saw between the competing schools and the teamwork among the participants. We would like to thank Vanier College for their enormous contribution and truly outstanding work in hosting this year's competition and ensuring its success." Everywhere you looked there was a flurry of activity: teams were assembling and hosting their kiosks, groups of students huddled over their robots, going back and forth between their creation and a tool box, sometimes even making major adjustments before the heats; others were carrying their prize robot onto the playing field.
