This resource booklet was created by Windsor-Essex Family Network families FOR families. It has been developed from a family perspective. Family leaders have tried to inform, simplify and provide clarifications on Ministry of Education guidelines, AND MORE, with regard to high school life. The book also features resources and information for after high school including options for mature students, post-secondary learning, job training, and life in general.
As you go through the booklet, you will find family tips are highlighted and information families consider important is ‘noted’. We hope this resource will be informative and inspirational during such an important time of life, and that students and their families will be encouraged as they see possibilities for inclusion in both learning and living life. The perfect opportunity or learning environment may not always be obvious – but as families we can get creative in finding what works best for our ‘students’, keeping in mind they are going to learn in their own unique way.
