Thursday is Hat Day (share a photo in your favourite hat).
Wednesday is Superhero Day (while wearing your favourite superhero costume, create a ‘thank you’ photo you can leave in your front window to thank community heroes such as nurses, doctors, and grocery store workers).Tuesday is Silly Sock Day (share a photo in your silliest socks).Monday is Williamsburg Wear Day (wear Williamsburg PS shirts, hats, and colours).The school community is encouraged to share photos of themselves wearing items of clothing with the corresponding theme each day. Each day of the week provides a different opportunity for Williamsburg PS families and staff to showcase their spirit. One of the ideas is to host a Virtual Spirit Week on the school’s Twitter and Instagram accounts, running from Monday March 30 th to Friday April 3 rd. Those ideas live on a Google Doc that is accessible to all staff members and is updated frequently. “We recognize that while some students and families just want a light connection with staff, others have greater educational concerns,” notes Allison Kerr, Vice Principal of Williamsburg PS.Īfter Kerr, Principal Brad Savard, and the School Leadership Team met virtually using Google Meet, they brainstormed different ways to support the mental health and educational needs of their school community. One of those schools is Williamsburg Public School in Whitby.
In the meantime, some DDSB schools have already begun rolling out virtual initiatives to their respective school communities. Over the last few weeks, the Durham District School Board (DDSB) has been working towards launching a Distance Learning plan on April 6 th with teacher-led classroom instruction to students. In order to further prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Province of Ontario announced that schools will not reopen until May at the earliest.
