Northern Ontario Film Studios and Near North District School Board strike a long-term deal for film training in Northern Ontario

The Northern Ontario Film Studios (NOFS) is delighted to announce a new partnership and filming initiative with Near North District School Board (NNDSB) to provide on-the-job training opportunities to NNDSB students in conjunction with NOFS film productions filming in Northern Ontario. This learning cooperative will play a crucial role in engaging students in exploration of the multitude of career pathways available within the Northern Ontario film industry by creating awareness and interest in the variety of careers immediately available for them once they graduate. This hands-on training will give students the foundational building blocks to enter this exciting and growing industry.

Northern Ontario Film Studios is the largest full-service film studio in Northern Ontario, providing both creative and production services to a wide range of clients in the film and television industry. With a vast array of film production experience, unparalleled in the region, the Northern Ontario Film Studios has created award-winning film and television content around the world.

With its sister company Hideaway Pictures, they have produced more than 60 films and provided production services, studio space and equipment rental for more than 100 film and television projects in Northern Ontario. Having three studio spaces in the North Bay and Sudbury area, they have created more 3,000,000 hours of work for Northern Ontario residents, amounting to more than 2,000 full-time equivalent jobs in the North. The gross economic impact to the Ontario economy is well over $150,000,000 in direct spend.

In 2019, NOFS built a permanent $2,000,000 turn-of-the-century town in Powassan, ON. It is the only one of its kind in the province which has garnered attention from the industry abroad and is sought after as a future filming location.

In 2021, NOFS and Hideaway Pictures announced a new $125,000,000 deal to bring over 25 new film and television projects to Northern Ontario in the next 5 years. President of Production David Anselmo says, “This partnership is the first step to developing the young talent we have in our region and keeping them at home to work and grow in a new and exciting industry. Twenty years ago, when I chose to pursue my passion as a filmmaker, I never had the opportunity to do it in Northern Ontario. This partnership is just another way NOFS can fulfill its mandate of creating long lasting cinema in the North.”

NNDSB is responsible for the public education of approximately 10,000 learners from across the Almaguin Highlands, North Bay, Mattawa, West Nipissing and Parry Sound areas. The board serves a wide variety of communities within a 17,020 square km area and operates 27 elementary schools, six secondary schools, and a variety of alternative and continuing education programs and services.

NNDSB engages with organizations from many sectors to enhance student success, professional learning and the educational environment. Partners include community organizations, post-secondary institutions, businesses, charitable foundations, health agencies, arts organizations and social service agencies.

Board Chair Jay Aspin says, “Our board is truly excited about this new dynamic connection. Transforming and enhancing our board through innovation and the advancement of new relationships form a key pillar of our recently created multi-year strategic plan. This partnership will assist us in achieving these goals as we engage with the Northern Ontario Film Studios resulting in opportunities to improve student success, professional learning and broaden our educational environment.”

Of the initiative, NNDSB Director of Education Craig Myles says, “It is important to Near North District School Board to continue to create innovative pathways that help students to make connections with the workforce and the community. This exciting new partnership with Northern Ontario Film Studios provides our students with an opportunity to explore the burgeoning film industry and seek further study and or employment in an exciting career in their home communities.”

May Letter to Families

May 6, 2022 By Deb

Friday, May 6, 2022

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This monthly Letter to Families is intended to keep you apprised of news that affects all students and families of Near North District School Board (NNDSB). The Letter to Families is distributed on the first Friday of the month.

Across Ontario, boards and schools celebrate Education Week the first week of May. NNDSB is proud of the work done by staff in all areas who work towards the goal of student achievement and well-being.

Board Chair Jay Aspin, in sharing his appreciation for the work of staff in education, calls education a “community endeavour” and says it’s vital to reflect on the work that has been done over the past few years and the obstacles that were overcome.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, he commends staff for their display of dedication, patience, resilience, cooperation and collaboration, and remind them that they are not taking the journey alone.

Everyone working in NNDSB is working towards the multi-year strategic plan’s four pillars of excellence in teaching and learning, excellence in innovation, excellence in relationships and excellence in communication.

On Monday, May 2, the board’s Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) hosted a presentation with Dr. Peg Dawson on executive functioning skills and how they may be used to strengthen children to their full potential

A PDF of Dr. Dawson’s presentation and the hour-long webinar may be found here.

Twenty-two NNDSB schools have been participating in The Forest of Reading, Canada’s largest recreational reading program.

Participating NNDSB schools offer this reading program to encourage a love of reading for all students. The Forest helps celebrate Canadian books, publishers, authors and illustrators. More than 270,000 readers participate annually from their school and/or public library.

The Forest of Reading Award Programs are where children and young adults pick the winner! Readers choose a program that they would like to be a part of, usually based on their age or grade, and simply begin reading. They can read all 10 of the titles, or pick and choose to read only the ones they are interested in. Participants are encouraged to read at least five of the 10 titles to be eligible to vote in April.

This program aims to encourage a genuine and life-long love of reading among readers of all ages. NNDSB students have been participating in virtual Author visits and may have opportunities to be involved in virtual celebrations in the coming weeks once the winning authors are announced.

NNDSB’s information technology (IT) team is sharing guidance from the Ministry of Education to help families avoid phishing and smishing scams.

The information may be found here and includes activities for children, to help them become aware of the dangers of cyber criminals.

NNDSB students are eligible to enter the Ontario Public School Board’s (OPSBA) I ❤️ Public Education video contest.

OPSBA is asking that short clips (three to five seconds) be submitted that show people holding a small sign with the phrase or image I ❤️ Public Education. Participants can write this in their first language, or any language typically spoken at home.

Submissions will be used to create a two- to three-minute video showing the full range of diversity of ages, faces, voices and places that make up provincial public schools and their love of learning and the shared values of public education.

Contest winners will be selected from student submissions. The contest is open to any student from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 in Ontario, so long as they are enrolled in a school that is part of a public district school board or school authority that is a member of the OPSBA.

All students who submit a clip will be automatically entered into a prize draw for one of five $50 Indigo e-gift cards.

The deadline for this contest is May 31, 2022, at 5 p.m.

The final video will be posted on OPSBA’s social media channels by mid-June.

Recording and Uploading Instructions:

The video can be recorded wherever you would like using a smartphone or any video device in standard video formats (.mp4, .avi, .mov, .m4v). You are encouraged to film at school, or any other location that is special to you and/or emblematic of your local community.

All video files must be submitted through OPSBA’s contest Dropbox portal. Students must also submit their name, school, and school board with their video clips. The video clip’s file name must include this information in order for OPSBA to be able to contact the winners. (i.e., John Doe_SmithPS_NNDSB)

Additional contest details can be found on the OPSBA website.

The Ministry of Education has provided NNDSB with funding to provide $1,000 bursaries to 15 Grade 11 or 12 students who are pursuing post-secondary education in the skilled trades.

Application details are still being finalized; families can watch for details on the board’s social media accounts, or students may visit their school’s student success office for more information.

In addition to staying informed via the board’s website, families can find NNDSB on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Sincerely,

Near North District School Board

Board Highlights for April meeting

The following are the highlights of the Near North District School Board (NNDSB) meeting of Tuesday, April 12, 2022.

Trustees review use of resources for campaigning

Trustees discussed and approved a procedure that outlines how and when Board resources may be used during the campaign period. Rules and procedures must be established before May 1, in accordance with The Municipal Elections Modernization Act, 2016.

The procedures apply to all trustees, registered trustee candidates and staff, and is intended to supplement the Trustee Code of Conduct.

The procedure covers the use of school board resources during the municipal and school board election campaign period, which for the upcoming campaign will be from May 1 to Oct. 24 (election day). The resources covered by the procedure included staff time, computer, fax, telephone, cell phone, laptop, tablet, website, newsletter, email, board or school social media accounts.

While trustees are expected to continue to use their board-issued resources to fulfil their duties as a member of the Board, they are not to use them for campaign-related purposes.

School trip guidelines modified after consultation

Following a public consultation period, the administrative guideline that deals with school trips has been modified.

The school trip guideline will include a standardized form for use by all schools, an approach that evaluates an activity on its level of risk and the requirement of a criminal reference check for all school volunteers, regardless of level of supervision.

The modified version was reviewed and approved by executive council on April 5, 2022.

Community use of schools resumes

In his report, Director of Education Craig Myles noted that the Community Use of Schools program has resumed. Organizations that require the use of school facilities are invited to submit applications.

More information and applications may be found on this page.

MYSP survey closes tomorrow

The Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) committee is seeking stakeholder input to measure progress since the five-year plan has been operationalized. More information about the survey can be found in this media release.

The survey is open until Friday, April 15 and the survey link can be found here.

Report highlights Indigenous education initiatives

A report from the First Nations Advisory Committee highlighted the scope of Indigenous education in the board and introduced three new initiatives.

The report announced a new Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) arts and culture program with an Indigenous studies focus that will be implemented at Parry Sound High School in September 2022, an initiative that will see all Grade 11 students take NBE3 – English: understanding contemporary First Nations, Métis and Inuit voices and an alternative secondary school program that will be delivered in partnership with the North Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre. More will be announced about this in the coming weeks.

Board Chair Jay Aspin says, “Our board is committed to ensure Indigenous students have every opportunity for success. This board action plan is part of a complex structure of supports prioritizing equitable outcomes to move forward towards the success and well-being of these students through much needed systemic change.”

The full report is available in the Board package, and a media release has been issued.

Student Trustee advises of Senate elections

Student Trustee Cecilia Darling told the Board that secondary school elections to NNDSB’s Student Senate will take place soon. The election timeline will see newly elected Senators from each school attend the Senate meetings by May.

She also noted that election and information will be send to students to be shared with their school communities.

Letter to Families – COVID-19 reminders

April 13, 2022 By Deb

Wednesday, April 13, 2022

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach this coming Easter weekend, then the final few months of the school year, Near North District School Board (NNSDB) wants to remind families of the COVID-19 practices that help us maintain safe learning environments for students and staff.

While masking for staff and students across the province is encouraged but no longer required, please remember that there are still situations where students are required to be masked while at school.

Students should remain masked for:

14 days upon arriving back in Canada after travelling;
10 days from initial exposure when they are a household member of a COVID-19 positive case/individual;
10 days after last exposure date when they have been identified as a close contact;
10 days total after symptom onset should they test positive for COVID-19;
48 hours after getting a COVID-19 vaccine or flu shot.

Masks continue to be available at all schools if students require one.

A reminder that students should continue to do the COVID-19 School and Childcare Screener each day before coming to school.

Masks will no longer be required for students, staff, visitors and spectators in schools, school board offices and on student transportation. Eye protection for staff will also no longer be required. Some students and staff may choose to continue wearing masks and eye protection.

Cohorting and distancing are no longer required in schools. Assigned seats and cohorting will no longer be required in student transportation.

Elementary students can play and learn together across cohorts, classes and grades, indoors and outdoors, and during lunch and recess. Shared spaces such as libraries, tech labs, theatres and music rooms can be fully utilized without distancing.

Limitations on in-person gatherings and assemblies are also removed.

NNDSB continues to use rapid antigen tests (RATs) to support symptomatic testing only for staff and students. Schools are expected to continue distributing RATs to staff and students who return from an unplanned absence.

Many workplaces are short-staffed due to the transmissibility of new variants of COVID-19, and the requirements around self-isolating. NNDSB has been experiencing staff shortages, too.

If schools are not able to safely operate with the number of available staff, NNDSB will close schools. The announcement may be made the night before, the morning of the closure, or possibly even during the day in certain circumstances.

If a school is closed, it will be communicated to affected families by the school through SchoolMessenger. Information may also be shared on the affected school’s social media accounts.

While schools may be closed, learning will continue online when possible. Teachers will reach out to families about remote learning opportunities in the event of a school closure.

Nipissing Parry Sound Student Transportation Services (NPSSTS), the consortium that provides busing services to the four co-terminus school boards, is also experiencing increasing levels of driver shortages due to COVID-19. NPSSTS has provided this communiqué to families to outline steps being taken and how families might be impacted.

Because of a shortage of spare drivers many routes are being doubled, resulting in delays, Sometimes, the driver shortage forces route cancellations. These are posted on NPSSTS’s delays and cancellations page of their website.

Though no longer mandated, NPSSTS encourages everyone to wear a well-fitting mask when riding on a school bus.

In addition to staying informed via the board’s website, families can find NNDSB on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

We thank our school communities for their cooperation as we work hard to ensure our schools stay safe and open for learning. NNDSB will continue to update families in a timely manner.

Sincerely,

Near North District School Board

Multi-layered approach supports Indigenous education

Multi-layered approach supports Indigenous education

The First Nations Advisory Committee (FNAC) report presented at last night’s Near North District School Board (NNDSB) meeting outlined the scope of Indigenous education in schools and introduced several new initiatives.

In addition to outlining the status of Indigenous education across the board, the report announced:

a new Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) arts and culture program with an Indigenous studies focus that will be implemented at Parry Sound High School in September 2022
an initiative that will see all Grade 11 students take NBE3 – English: understanding contemporary First Nations, Métis and Inuit voices
an alternative secondary school program that will be delivered in partnership with the North Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre. More will be announced about this in the coming weeks.

One of the board’s key priorities is working towards equitable outcomes for Indigenous students. This is accomplished by supporting Indigenous student well-being, transitions and pathways, parent and community engagement and by maximizing system and educator capacity.

The board action plan for Indigenous education focuses on supporting student success and well-being for Indigenous learners, families and communities, as well as increasing the knowledge, understanding and awareness of Indigenous culture, worldview, historical and contemporary issues and perspectives for all members of school communities throughout the board.

In addition to the work that takes place across the board, there are school and community initiatives that support system work. FNAC is grateful to the team of Indigenous language teachers, First Nations, Métis and Inuit studies teachers, graduation coaches, transitions support and education counsellors, as well as allies who help create dynamic learning environments.

Director of Education Craig Myles acknowledges that cooperation and communication between NNDSB and Indigenous partners are vital to success in this area. “We, as a board, are committed to ensuring equitable outcomes for Indigenous students. NNDSB’s work at all levels in support of Indigenous student well-being, transitions and pathways, parent and community engagement, as well as system and educator capacity are rooted in the Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP).”

Among the initiatives at NNDSB that support Indigenous students are youth circles (from which the Indigenous Student Trustee is appointed), graduation coaches at four secondary schools who support Indigenous students with culturally responsive approaches to learning and an outreach worker who supports Indigenous families moving to the area.

To support educators, the board has invested in cultural competency training for all staff and has contracted cultural advisors who support learning and increase the understanding of Anishinaabe history, culture, knowledge, teachings and perspectives.

The full report is available in the Board package.

Workshop explains how executive skills promote school success

Workshop explains how executive skills promote school success

Near North District School Board’s (NNDSB) Parent Involvement Committee is hosting a workshop with Dr. Peg Dawson, who will discuss how executive skills can affect students’ ability to learn and student success.

The online session for families takes place Monday, May 2 at 7 p.m.

Dr. Dawson and her colleague, Dr. Richard Guare, have co-authored the books Smart but Scattered and Smart but Scattered Teens, as well as several books on this topic for educators, mental health professionals and families. She is a school psychologist with expertise in the assessment of learning and attention disorders.

Dr. Dawson’s workshop for educators introduces the 11 executive skills featured in the Smart but Scattered model and provides school-based strategies for strengthening each skill across the grade levels.

The workshop for families describes how these skills develop throughout childhood and suggest strategies that can be used to help children acquire the critical skills they need to be successful students.

The Smart but Scattered website says executive skills “refer to the brain-based cognitive processes that help us to regulate our behaviour, make decisions and set and achieve goals.” They include task initiation and follow through, planning and organization, working memory, performance monitoring, inhibition of impulses and self-regulation. Dr. Dawson believes these skills are “absolutely critical to school success.” Learn more about how Dr. Dawson defines executive skills here.

She is past president of the National Association of School Psychologists, the International School Psychology Association and is a recipient of NASP’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

NNDSB invites members of the community to attend Dr. Dawson’s using this link. People can also attend by phone. Find your local dial-in number here, then use Meeting ID: 833 3486 5926 and Passcode: 020746.

Letter to Families – safe injection site

April 11, 2022 By Deb

Monday, April 11, 2022

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The safety and well-being of our students and staff is of paramount importance to Near North District School Board (NNDSB). The board’s safe schools and program team works diligently to ensure that everyone who comes to school may learn and work in a safe environment.

A community organization has announced the potential implementation of a safe injection site in the vicinity of Chippewa Secondary School. This issue is likely to draw much media attention and scrutiny in the community.

Supervisory Officer Gay Smylie, whose portfolio includes safe schools, assures NNDSB families that the safe schools team will continue to monitor the situation. Although the board has no control over an outside organization’s use of their property, NNDSB can work to ensure that people in our buildings remain as safe as possible.

Thank you,

Near North District School Board

Program offers free Intro to the Trades dual credits at Canadore College

April 4, 2022 By Deb

Program offers free Intro to Trades dual credits at Canadore College

Near North District School Board (NNDSB) is taking registrations for a program that will see re-engaged learners earn up to two credits towards their secondary school diploma and up to two college course credits towards a Trades Fundamentals certificate at Canadore. The program is called Introduction to the Trades.

Alysha Young, NNDSB’s re-engagement lead and a dual-credit teacher, says this course is for adult learners aged 21 and older who have not earned their Ontario Secondary School Diplomas.

Learners will attend the Commerce Court Campus of Canadore College in North Bay from April 25 to June 10 for half days (9 a.m. to approximately 12:30 p.m.). Students can take an introduction to carpentry and/or introduction to plumbing course. There is no cost to attend the program and students will receive financial assistance with equipment and transportation.

The introduction to carpentry course introduces students to a variety of hand and power tools, with an emphasis on identification, selection and safe operating procedures. Skill building will focus on residential construction.

The introduction to plumbing course introduces student to plumbing theory, safety, tools and materials. Students will work through the Ontario Building Code sections that relate to plumbing. Practical experience will be gained working in the program’s shop.

“This program is an excellent opportunity to attend Canadore and explore the trades as a career while earning high school and college credits,” says Patricia Jackson, project leader at Canadore College. “Past students have gone on to complete the certificate at Canadore, and work in the trades.”

Young says the dual-credit program is a collaborative effort between all four co-terminus school boards, Canadore College and the Ministry of Education. They work with partners in the community and tackle labour market shortages, creating programs that give learners a head start to an education that will address labour needs in the community.

“The objective of the dual-credit program,” she says, “is to aid students who have the potential to succeed.” In addition to the college instructor, students will have the support of a secondary school staff member in the student success role. “The students have more support than they would in a regular college class,” says Young.

“The goal is to help students land jobs,” she says. This is an example of NNDSB’s commitment to Excellence in Innovation, and Excellence in Teaching and Learning, two of the pillars of the board’s multi-year strategic plan.

For more information, contact Alysha Young at Alysha.Young@nearnorthschools.ca or 705-472-5419 ext. 4066.

Letter to Families – virtual school registration

April 1, 2022 By Deb

Friday, April 1, 2022

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The Ministry of Education has provided funding for virtual learning to be in place for the 2022-2023 school year. There is no information about virtual education moving forward beyond next school year. With all of this in mind, we are registering students for Near North District School Board’s (NNDSB) Virtual School for online learning for the 2022-2023 school year.

NNDSB believes in-person learning best supports most students; however, we recognize that given unique circumstances, some families may want their child to learn remotely. In line with guidance from the Ministry of Education, NNDSB is offering a virtual learning option in September 2022.

We have created an online registration form to register your child(ren) for the upcoming school year. This learning placement will be for the entire school year. The registration link is located at the bottom of this communication.

Below are the requirements for the Virtual School program based on the Ministry of Education guidelines.

Division	Grade level of students	Daily minimum synchronous learning time requirement (Can be broken into blocks of time as required)
Elementary	Kindergarten	180 minutes
Elementary	Grades 1 to 3	225 minutes
Elementary	Grades 4 to 8	225 minutes
Secondary	Grades 9 to 12	The higher of 60 minutes for each 75-minute class period or 225 minutes per day for a full course schedule

Virtual Learning – Asynchronous vs. Synchronous

NNDSB will offer virtual learning for both elementary and secondary students who wish to learn online. Most students have returned to in-person classes so our ability to offer a wide range of virtual learning programs during the 2022-2023 school year will be limited.

Virtual learning programs may be attended synchronously (in real-time, interactive with teacher and class) or asynchronously (with daily submission of work and check-ins but work done independently) but no paper packages will be made available. For most students, synchronous learning is the best way to support a positive learning environment. It is much more difficult to gain the full depth and breadth of experiences using the asynchronous learning method as there are limited interactions between peers and educators.

Where there is no internet or technology at home, internet access (where available) and technology may be requested by families.

Virtual Learning: Elementary (VLE)

NNDSB will offer English language virtual learning for elementary students (Kindergarten to Grade 8) for the 2022-2023 school year. NNDSB cannot offer French Immersion, Extended French or any specialized programming virtually, due to limited numbers of students accessing those programs and the limited availability of qualified teachers.

Families wanting French Immersion or Extended French should select in-person learning.
Like this year, virtual learning will most likely include multi-grade combined classes.
Students enrolled in VLE will be registered with NNDSB’s VLE school
and not attached to their current home school.

Virtual Learning: Secondary (VLS)

NNDSB will offer virtual learning for secondary school students (Grades 9-12) for the 2022-2023 school year. The VLS will offer a limited selection of courses in each grade level in many program pathways. Secondary students have already completed course selections for next year and for students and families opting to attend VLS, every effort will be made to offer courses that students require for their chosen pathway to graduation.

It is highly likely that all secondary students that are in virtual learning will have to take some e-learning courses, as there will be a limited selection of programming offered by NNDSB.
System and school-specialized programs will only be available through in-person learning.
The VLS will follow the same calendar and daily schedule as in-person programming.

Special Education Classes and IEPs (Individual Education Plans)

Our experience over the past two years has shown that in-person learning is the best format to support students with special education needs, particularly those students registered in a Special Education class through the identification, placement and review process. For this reason, in the 2022-2023 school year, Special Education classes will remain in-person only.

Other students with special education needs will continue to be supported with the necessary accommodations, modifications or alternative programs provided in their individual education plan (IEP), whether their choice is for in-person or virtual learning.

Registration for NNDSB’s Virtual School for 2022-2023 school year

If you would like to register your child(ren) please complete this registration form for each student who you are registering in virtual learning for the 2022-2023 school year.

Parents and guardians are asked to complete the form by Sunday, April 17th, 2022.

https://forms.office.com/r/iZLnES4WKG.

If you have questions, please reach out to the Virtual School secretary at virtualschool@nearnorthschools.ca.

We look forward to welcoming your children back to our safe, caring, and inclusive online classrooms in September 2022.

Sincerely,

Near North District School Board
