Ontario's Well-Being Strategy, Parent Feedback Session

The WRDSB Parent Involvement Committee is a committe of the Board that supports, encourages and enhances the engagement of parents/caregivers in their children's education to improve student achievement and well-being. PIC's goals include fostering well-being in our students and families and facilitating communication between the Minsitry of Education and parents of the WRDSB.WRAPSC is a parent-run committee that brings together school council representatives from across Waterloo Region to share ideas and work collaboratively to improve the effectiveness of school councils in the WRDSB. WRAPSC and PIC work closely together.

WRDSB Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) and the Waterloo Region Assembly of Public School Councils (WRAPSC)

As one of its four interconnected goals in its renewed vision for education, the Ministry of Education promotes and supports the well-being of students. They are currently engaging their partners (e.g., parents, staff, community etc.) on this important work and are asking for feedback from across the province on their Engagement Paper, Well-Being in Our Schools: Strength in our Society. 
PIC and WRAPSC (the Waterloo Region Assembly of Public School Councils) are hosting a session for parents to discuss the Engagement Paper and gather feedback to be sent to the Ministry. This will be an informal meeting where we discuss the issues in small groups then take some time to share our thoughts with the larger assembly. You can find a copy of the Ministry's Engagement Paper on student well-being <A HREF="http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/about/wellbeingpdfs_nov2016e/wellbeing_engagement_e.pdf" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</A>.
