The Ministry of Education has launched the Parent's Guide to Ontario's Education System.
This new resource will provide parents with helpful information that allows them to have a stronger role and actively participate in their children's education. The guide covers a number of 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, translated into 10 different languages, can be found on our Parent/Guardian Resource page: Parent/Guardian Resources - Lambton Kent District School Board (lkdsb.net)
