ESL Conversation Circle At Roden

Roden Public School is proud to be hosting a free, weekly conversation circle. Suzanne Carmichael is an experienced ESL teacher and parent at Roden and wanted to start the group in order to give ESL adults an opportunity to practice their English. It began on February 6, and to date, it’s been a great success. TDSB’s Model Schools For Inner Cities generously funds the program.

For more information on Model Schools go to: www.tdsb.on.ca/Community/ModelSchoolsforInnerCities

Each week Suzanne starts the conversation based on a new theme, although she said inevitably it always ends with a discussion about food and this cold winter!

Parents, grandparents, neighbours and friends from the community are welcome to attend. So please, help spread the word to anyone who might be interested in joining the circle.

Drop in on Thursday’s from 9:00 – 10:30 AM
Roden Public School, 1st floor conference room
Children are welcome and snacks are provided.

School Council By-Laws

One of the items the Council looked into this year was establishing a set of By-laws to help guide the council in operating and making decisions. To establish our by-laws, we looked to TDSB reference materials as well as investigating By-laws at other schools. You can find a copy of our By-laws here.
