Parent/Teacher Interviews & Community Agencies@EastdaleCI

Eastdale parents and guardians met with their son/daughter's teachers on Thursday, March 29th from 2:30 to 4 pm., and 5 to 7 pm. As well, several local community agencies came to the school to share their resources with parents and teachers. At 4 pm., Development Services Ontario (DSO) presented various opportunities that are available for our MID students and their parents. Parents / guardians were informed of critical timelines to get their child registered with DSO. Once a student has turned 16 years old parents must contact DSO and various agencies that will allow for their son/daughter to access the supports available to them. The supports range from housing, to a monthly stipend ($) and employment opportunities. A copy of DSO's powerpoint presentation 'Welcome to the DSO Orientation' is available on Eastdale's public website.
