Hi, everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a few updates and reminders this week. I know everyone is in the middle of budget consultations and processes with your boards. A reminder that the updated school trustee Codes of Conduct<\/em> should already be submitted unless you\u2019ve let us know about any delays. Also a reminder that the Student Learning Survey closes today. If you need an extension please let us know. This data is invaluable for all of us in understanding trends and in informing policy and other decisions. You will also see information about the ECE Wage enhancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a recognition that Red Dress Day<\/strong> is on May 5. Red Dress Day was first held in 2010, to honour the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls across Canada. Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people in Canada are disproportionally affected by violence and are over-represented in the rate of murdered and missing women. Thank you for continuing to take time each year to recognize the lost women and girls, and reflect on ways you and your school communities contribute to counteracting the trauma and intergenerational impacts of the residential school system, the effects of which are still strongly felt to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great weekend. I look forward to seeing you next week at JCAM and the All Superintendents meeting.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
