We are hiring a FT Permanent Psychological Consultant - view the job posting here: https://www.ugdsb.ca//20pssp15-psychological-consultant-s/

With about 4,000 public elementary students learning from home on two-dimensional screens, it can be a challenge to make special occasions, such as Remembrance Day, meaningful to them. That, explained online Grade 2 French immersion (FI) teacher Megan McLeish, is why such a significant effort is being put into a Nov. 11 virtual assembly. It’s so important that we keep the stories of our veterans that have served in the past alive, said the Upper Grand District School Board ...teacher. https://www.guelphtoday.com//virtual-remembrance-day-assem
