Dear TMC Titan Students, Parents and Guardians,

Happy World Teachers Day!

This year, I think it’s especially important to reflect on the important role teachers play in creating inclusive, safe, welcoming environments so that every student can learn. You, as parents, are beneficial to shape a future that values and celebrates diversity and helps every student reach their full potential. As examples, we still have countries where certain students are not allowed or wanted to go to school, such as with attacks on girls’ schools in certain areas of the world. In WWII, the Nazis utilized education institutions in the Third Reich served to indoctrinate students and purged the public school system of teachers deemed to be Jewish or that may not support their goals. Every student in our country has the responsibility and the right to be able to go to school and gain an education, as our society believes in the major importance of this work!

Thank you for supporting our staff in supporting your students!

Monday October 9, 2023 – Thanksgiving Day!

Child and Youth Well-Being:  
A Webinar Series for Parents and Guardians 

Understanding Vaping – Nov 16 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm
Teen Brain Development – Jan 18 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm

CBE educators believe that parents and guardians can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors – in order to do so, they need the right tools and information. Well-being is a precondition for learning. As our understanding of student well-being continues to evolve, it is important for those that support children and youth to stay up to date on the same information so everyone can support student success.  

The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver’s understanding of a variety of health-related topics.

As always, Work Hard, Learn Tonnes and Be Kind!
