Community - this past week our community came together virtually as Rideau Park hosted an opportunity for parents to connect with classroom teachers and our School Council hosted its Annual General Meeting. Throughout the week I reflected on how many people we haven't seen in person - there are so many people that contribute to a fulsome school community.
I also came to the realization that we can maintain connections and the use of virtual technology is key. This fall, I am more often likely to set up a meeting and talk face-to-face than over the phone. It does not take long to set up and the opportunity to speak with one another face-to-face is so valuable.
We are a community that can adjust and adapt. We are agile and the kindness that I see in our community as we support one another, students, parents, and teachers, is heartwarming.
We are Rideau and We are Community.
