June 21, 2019 | Vol. 2 No. 19 June Reflection from Brother Domenic No doubt by now you have heard and probably even discussed the decision by Canada's largest school board to "loosen" up its uniform requirements and policies for students. Teachers abandoned business attire in this system a long time ago. The reaction has been predicable insofar as there are clearly two polarized camps and points of view.
There may be some practical reasons for the school board to have taken this position on how students may dress, i.e. administrators and teachers unwilling or incapable of enforcing rules, litigation from parents who resent anyone telling their children how to dress, the lack of appreciation for the purpose of decorum, etc. Administrator's Blog Thank the Adults in Your Life The following is Mr. Voutsinos' Reflection at the last formal Morning Assembly of the school year: Over the last few weeks we've had the opportunity to listen to a number of students speak up here at the podium. From Student Council speeches, to our Valedictorian and Salutatorian speeches here last night, there has been somewhat of a common theme revolving around the torturous road they've been on here at De La Salle. Important Reminders Concussions 101 At De La Salle we are actively and continuously refining our Concussion Protocol in order to give the best care to our students who have suffered from this injury. The following video from Dr. Mike Evans, titled "Concussions 101, a Primer for Kids and Parents" is a good resource for any parents or students looking for more information on concussions. If you have any additional questions regarding concussions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Student Services Office.
