Dear Parents and Partners in Education,
These are truly unprecedented times. Our Special Education Team assure our thoughts and prayers with ALL our Brennan students that you are safe and well.
*** PLEASE be sure to follow the protocol and expectations laid out by government and health officials.
Local media are effectively keeping us informed.
Special Education: You may note that Special Education information in this blog is meant to address students in our school with an IEP (Individual Education Plan).
There are two main groups, one of which will be applicable to your child:
Main Stream: students with an IEP on pathways (Locally Developed - Workplace Applied - College Academic - University)
Life Skills: students with exceptionalities on their IEP that require unique programming generally bound for a Certificate of Accomplishment
Student needs are often not so clear. We offer the above as a general, brief explanation
* Google Classroom Platform *
Various classroom teachers and Students Services (Guidance) are using this Google Classroom educational platform to communicate and
and monitor classroom activities / assignments.
Life Skills information and resources will also be using this platform as a "classroom" has been set up and invitations sent
to student's school emails (tools2go.ca).

* Supports Available * Special Education Teachers and Educational Assistance Staff are available and anxious to help support our students.
This will require creative modes and methods still being set and developed.
