In order to develop conscious, civic minded, independent successful 21st century leaders and global citizens District 7 empowers all stakeholders by:
* Ensuring students are at the forefront of our work

District 7 empowers, engages and inspires students, leaders, staff and all community members in a safe and inclusive learning environment.
District Goals
Improve Outcomes for Students
- By June 2021, District 7 will increase the percentage of ENLs and SWDs who perform at Levels 2-4 by 15% in service of reducing the gap in achievement between this subgroup and their general education peers by 5% through increased in person and remote instructional coherence, rigorous programs and an effective intervention program eliminating the use of reteaching as the predominant strategy to improve student performance without evidence of impact.
Strengthen Social-Emotional Learning and Culturally Responsive School Environments
- By June 2021, District 7 will engage our families using research-based programs and approaches to build inclusive in-person and remote school culture and CRSE environments resulting in a 5% decrease in chronic absenteeism, eliminating disparities in attendance rates for students with disabilities with the goal of eliminating/reducing the belief that the traditional ways of monitoring chronic absenteeism (407→phone call→ ACS) are effective in bridging the gap between schools and families
Develop Leaders
-By June 2021, District 7 will design and orchestrate a robust system of structured remote intervisitations in our District 7 community and beyond the District to cultivate and share best online and in-person practices which promote instructional excellence and accelerate student achievement resulting in 10% decrease in Level 1 student performance in Math and ELA while decreasing the achievement gap between SWD/ELL students and their General Education Non-ELL peers.
Mathematics
- By June 2021, District 7 schools will focus on providing students who performed a Level 1 in math with access to authentic, rich and diverse mathematical tasks and mathematical remote and in person experiences that promote conceptual understanding through student discussion, collaboration, and connection making reducing the belief that students of color who score in the lowest proficiency level require static teaching practices low in engagement in order to improve their proficiency which will result in a decrease in the percentage of students performing at level 1 in math by at least 5% as well as a decrease in the opportunity gap between SWDs/ELLs and their general education non-ELL peers by 5%

Bring your curiosity to a meaningful activity that includes a mixture of stimulation, reflection, thought provocation, peaceful calm, relaxation and mindfulness.
For the purpose and timing of this class, we will focus on a watercolour art piece. Examples shown are done with plain lead pencils, coloured pencil crayons and watercolour, but, feel free to use whatever tools you have in your art bag.
Your guide will be Cathy Wild, a Barrie resident who began painting as therapy in April 2016 after her own journey of self-discovery after brain surgery. Some of her art has been on display at The Edge Gallery and at The Barrie Art Club.
Through an association with the Community Wholeness Centre, Cathy is excited to volunteer her time in helping others paint while continuing her own recovery. May you find yourself inspired by the giftedness that emerges through your creations.
MATERIALS:
Regular paper or craft paper, or sketch paper for pencils and pencil crayons. Watercolor paper for watercolors, preferably 140 lb. This can be Canson’s from Walmart or wherever you are able to order or pick up supplies.
Pencil, painters tape, backer board (to tape art paper/canvas to), paper towel, brushes Curry’s #0, #3 & #6, water dish (for rinsing brushes), 2nd water dish, paper towel, access to computer or cell with a camera to see and follow the demonstration.
All levels of skill and experience are welcome. Hope to see you there, and if you are in need of a ride, please send a message to have one arranged.
NOTE: This class will be presented with CLOSED CAPTIONING live transcription
DATE/TIME: Tuesdays @ 1:00 PM ET
