Director’s Message

Although 2020 was something I had never witnessed before, 2021 also brought about many surprises.

Some days I felt as if the weight of the world was on my shoulders. The daily and weekly changes were never ending. Together with my team, we navigated through each day and continued to stay positive. The end of each week was a triumph and the end of each month was a victory. Words can never express my gratitude to my incredible work family, our school principals and the entire staff here at TBCDSB for all of their hard work and long hours.

As an educator, I am a lifelong learner, however, it is my hope we never have to learn first-hand from such a precarious situation. The days (and nights) we experienced are those one reads in novels and textbooks.

I am incredibly proud of the work and progress that came out of such a challenging year. Together we took each day, step-by-step, minute by minute and continued to move forward to lessen any disruption to our students. I look forward to sharing our progress in this year’s 2021-2022 Director’s Report.

God Bless, Pino
