March 19th, 2015 Dear School Council Members, Our next meeting is Monday, March 30th, 2015 at 7pm at Board office, 500 Victoria Road, Guelph. Our guest speakers this month will be Superintendent of Education, Linda Benallick and Tammy Fleming, Principal at Mono-Amaranth Public School, who will be presenting the Board’s Strategic Plan. We will also have a presentation by Joanne Smyth from Minds in Motion. Lots of great information will be shared this month and this is your opportunity to hear about the Board’s plans for the next year. We welcome anyone in the UGDSB who would like to attend and learn more about these subjects and about the work that PIC does, so feel free to bring a friend. If you are unable to attend the meeting in person, we do have a conference call option available.
