Have you ever wished you had an insider's perspective into the sometimes complicated world of education?
Beyond the Bell (formerly known as OnPoint Parenting), will provide parents and caregivers a behind-the-scene look into our education system. The topics may be familiar, but our goal is to provide you with information and perspective that you may not have thought about - those things that you didn’t know you needed to know!
*
Beyond the Bell is brought to you by the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District Schoolboard and our Catholic Parent Involvement Committee.
Host, Chantelle Quesnelle
Executive producer, Pauline Stevenson
Produced and edited by Lydia Bennett and Cole Bennett, in partnership with Portage Creative
