Here are a few tips that have been known to limit the transmitting of the coronavirus: change commuting times when taking public transportation; consider less crowded forms of transportation such as walking or taking a bicycle, and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water immediately upon reaching your destination…using hand sanitizer is not enough!

Hello families!
We hope everyone is keeping safe. With Premier Ford’s announcement this week that more and more businesses will be opening up soon, we wanted to remind everyone that while this is progress in a positive direction in terms of returning to life as we knew it before the arrival of Covid-19, we should still be cautious when out in public. We need to continue practicing social distancing, thoroughly washing our hands, avoiding crowds and gatherings, and if we are showing any signs of illness, we need to be staying away from others.
For those who are heading out as frontline workers in hospitals, grocery stores or other vital services, we cannot begin to thank you enough for putting your own health at risk to ensure that others are cared for. Here are a few tips that have been known to limit the transmitting of the coronavirus: change commuting times when taking public transportation; consider less crowded forms of transportation such as walking or taking a bicycle, and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water immediately upon reaching your destination…using hand sanitizer is not enough! Lastly, we wish everyone good health and as we start getting into the warmer weather, despite maintaining social distancing, some more sunshine to make our days a little more enjoyable!
Sincerely,
A. Daniel, D. Heron & A. Gheewala Character Matters Trait of the Month: Perseverance

From our Special Education Department
Around this time of year, you would usually have received a Confirmation of Continued Placement letter as part of YRDSB review IPRC process, which is conducted annually. As we navigate the changes that the Covid-19 pandemic has created, we recognize that this review process will not look the same as it has in previous years. At this moment, we are recommending to have your child to continue with their current identification and level of placement at MCI. For that reason, we are sending a digital Confirmation of Continued Placement letter to you in the next couple of weeks, which indicate our recommendation, and we wish to have your consent on agreeing for nothing to change for September 2020 in your child’s identification and placement.
MCI’s Special Education Department would like to remind all of our families that we are committed to providing relevant and appropriate educational opportunities and supports during these unprecedented times to our students. Google Classrooms are up and running for all Learning Strategies courses and Community Classes. We hope that you continue to access your classroom daily for your learning. For more information and support, please contact your Special Education Resource Teacher via YRDSB board email (for example [email protected].) You can find a list of all of our teachers at the bottom of the E-Bulletin!
EquatIO for Math and Science Students
EquatIO is an easy-to-use Chrome extension that allows students to insert mathematical equations, formulas, and symbols for math and science. This digital tool is great for students to input their equations on their Google form, Google Docs, and Google Slides. The EquatIO extension has been automatically deployed to all student YRDSB GAPPS accounts. Students can install EquatIO extension for free onto their G Suite and they can locate the blue diamond icon in the extension area of the browser to start EquatIO.
Once EquatIO is installed, students can type complicated math expressions into clear and editable formulas. The handwriting recognition feature allows students to turn their handwriting into accurate formulas if they write directly on their touchscreen. It also has the speech recognition that turn dictated equations to written expressions. Students can revisit and edit their digital math equations at any time. It is a great digital tool to foster deeper understanding of math and science concepts.
