Assessing Readiness for Remote Learning 

In the event of a school closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Grand Erie is asking families whose children are currently attending school in person to assess their preparedness to learn from home. To do so, parents/guardians are asked to complete a short survey distributed by the student’s school principal.

Completion of the survey allows staff to work with families to help remove barriers to remote learning, such as access to technology. One survey should be completed for each child in the family.

Grand Erie continues to prioritize safety and well-being, with a goal of stability and continuity of learning, should our current public health situation change.

Thank you Queensview Retirement Community for donating $1,000 to our playground fundraiser

In an effort to build a better school playground we are trying to raise money for two playground structures with landscaping. This project will make a positive difference for 400+ elementary students at North Ward School. The estimated costs to complete the project is $75,000 to $100,000. Our school has raised approximately $11,000 through our recent Danceathon. Thank you to Queensview Retirement Community and R.T . Systems Inc. for donating $1000 each to our important cause.

For charitable donations of $1,000 or more, we can provide a charitable donation receipt, an acknowledgement on our outdoor school sign (see photo) and an acknowledgement in our school website. We will also include the name of the business or community group on a permanent plaque displayed inside our school.

For further information on donating to our playground project please contact the Ms. Shaheen or Mr. Holmes at: 519-442-2311.

Together, let's build a better playground!
