Launch of Parent’s Guide to Ontario’s Education System
The Ministry of Education is pleased to inform you that the Parent’s Guide to Ontario’s Education System was launched today.
This new resource will provide parents with helpful information that supports them to have a stronger role and actively participate in their children’s education. The guide covers several subjects such as knowing how their child is doing in school, learning about suspension and expulsion processes, attending a school council meeting or parent involvement committee meeting, and knowing about specialized supports to help all children succeed.
This initiative is part of the government’s recent efforts to increase transparency and accountability in our school system.
The full guide can be found at www.Ontario.ca/educationguide.
The attached promotional flyers available in 10 different languages (English, French, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Punjabi, Tagalog, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and Hindi) include a QR code that links to the full guide.
This flyer was also shared with communications contacts in school boards to help promote the guide to parents. This will also be shared with Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) chairs/co-chairs.
In addition, the Ministry of Education will be posting content on our social media channels starting this week, highlighting this new resource. Please consider reposting or retweeting our content on your channels if appropriate and timely.
