On Your Mark Parent Information
COVID -19 Update
Due to the impact of the pandemic we will be running the 2020-2021 school program in an ONLINE FORMAT
What do I do if my child can’t make it to a session?
If your child will not be making it to one of the sessions, please be sure to contact one of the Program Coordinators by phone at 416-532-2824 ext. 44 or 46 as soon as possible; leave a message if there is no answer. It is important that your child’s tutor is then informed.
** Please note, the students’ school DOES NOT notify the On Your Mark Program Coordinators of the students’ absence from school. It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the Program Coordinators within a timely manner.
- A FIRST uninformed absence (not informing the Program Coordinator of your child’s absence) will result in a phone call to the parent/guardian.
- A SECOND uninformed absence will result in a warning letter being mailed.
- A THIRD uninformed absence will result in the student being removed from the program.
How can I advocate for my child at the school?
If you think there is a problem with your child’s education at school, you have a right to speak to the school about this.
Your first stop should be your child’s teacher. For more details on how to handle problems at school and who to contact see our resources below.
Parent Workshops
These workshops provide parents and guardians with practical tools and methods to offer assistance with the following:
- support for their child’s learning
- how to work closely with the Toronto school system
- understanding of the Ontario elementary school and high school curriculum, and the methods and behaviours to facilitate the learning process
Workshops are offered annually and attendance at at least one is mandatory for all parents.
