Inclusive School and Community Services support schools in developing a learning and school environment that is respectful, supportive and welcoming to all. This includes building and maintaining strong partnerships with parents, community, community organizations and social service agencies to ensure the Board is able to meet the diverse needs of our school communities. Specifically we provide support for:
newcomer students and families;
implementation of Ministry and Board inclusive education policy and procedure;
student, parent and community engagement.
Inclusive School and Community Services is made up of three teams:
Community Partnership Developers Team
This team has established relationships with our community partners and organizations which help them direct schools toward programs and resources to support our students, parents and staff in the following areas:
Reception Centre Team
The Reception Centre helps families and students complete the necessary steps to register for and become part of their school community.
Teacher Liaison Team
Teachers
Liaisons work with Community Partnership Developers and the Equity consultants
to support school teachers and administrators to meet the diverse needs of students and families across the region. This includes fostering school-community relationships and supporting the implementation of inclusive curriculum. Two
Teacher Liaisons provide culturally responsive approaches for the East and
South Asian communities.
