School Safety Feature Within TDSB Connects App

We are committed to working together with students, staff and families to ensure TDSB schools are safe and welcoming spaces for all.

Beginning in November, our school is one of 11 TDSB middle and high schools taking part in a pilot for a new school safety feature available within the TDSB Connects App. The pilot will run until the end of January 2024.
Students can now complete a form through the TDSB Connects App to report any school safety concern or incident that has occurred within our school community. The form will be shared directly with the appropriate staff person and students have the option to remain anonymous when completing a report. As always, for any serious incidents that require emergency response, students should speak directly with school staff and/or call 911, if necessary.
Students are also always encouraged to talk to an adult they trust. However, this new feature in the TDSB Connects App, in addition to the Student Safety Line, is now available so that we can be more responsive to student concerns and can help make schools even safer learning environments for everyone.
If you don’t already have the TDSB Connects App, download it today! 
Please speak to the Principal or your teacher if you have any questions.

Rythyms Festival in Montreal

On April 26th, 37 students and 3 chaperones travelled to Montreal to attend the Rhythms Festival. The students and teachers had a great time! We toured McGill, attended an amazing performance by the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra at the Place des Arts, toured the Fine Arts Museum, the Pointe-à-Callière Museum, the Aura show at Notre Dame Basilica (unbelievable!), did some bowling (Mrs. O’Brien beat everyone!), did some shopping, attended the Dream Circus, ate dinner and danced at the Sucrerie de la Montagne (Sugar Shack), and performed at the Rhythms Festival or the first time in 4 years! We walked over 17000 steps each day, ate LOTS of food, from burger to steak, and came home completely exhausted 😊 .

On Friday March 24th, after school when everyone was heading home, the Best Buddies Club along with the Music Council headed to Central Etobicoke High School for a special music get together with approximately 18 buddies. Most of these students have physical and mental challenges and their pairing with our students for special activities is always exciting. After a brief tour of the school, students rotated through sessions with Karaoke, bucket drumming and Latin American percussion instruments. To finish the evening there were delicious homemade cookies and pizza! Thanks to Mrs. Bourgeois, Mrs. O’Brien and Mark Nicolson from Central Etobicoke for a rewarding experience.

Food Drive for the Daily Bread Food Bank!

Students at Richview have organized a food drive to collect non-perishable food items and raise funds for the Daily Bread Food Bank in Etobicoke. Over the past year, there has been a significant increase in food insecurity across Toronto due to inflation, a rising cost of living and incomes not keeping pace. 2022 will see more than 2 million food bank visits in Toronto. Food is a basic human right and our community needs our help. Collection bins are located outside of the main office.

Please consider donating non-perishable items by December 19, 2022. Alternatively, you may wish to make an online donation directly to the Daily Bread. $10 donations will automatically receive a tax receipt.
