Dear Parents/Guardians:

The Ministry of Education "Better Schools and Student Outcomes Act, 2023" and subsequent "Strengthening Academic Achievement and Transparency", requires that school boards provide clear communication to parents/guardians regarding guest speakers and related materials shared during the regular school day (Kindergarten to Grade 12). Such information must be shared at least 14 calendar days in advance through existing communication tools supported by the school board or school.
