My name is Donna Cardoza and I am the Parent/Caregiver & Community Engagement Worker at your school (St. Margaret's PS, West Hill PS, Eastview PS, Joseph Brant PS,, Galloway PS, and George B Little PS). The role of the PCCEW is to develop, nurture, and strengthen the relationship between school, home, and the community. I walk alongside you every step of the way to ensure that your children receive an education that meets their needs and helps them blossom into confident individuals. I am here to listen, to understand, to learn and to provide the resources and the information that you need to advocate effectively for your children.
We are partners in this journey, and your commitment to your children's education is truly inspiring. As a parent, I always valued trusting and caring relationships with the educators in my children's school. I want to support you as you build those relationships. I welcome your voice, value your input, and invite your collaboration.
Whether you're a familiar face or new to our community, please remember that your presence enriches our school family. If you ever need assistance, guidance, or simply a friendly ear to listen, know that my door is always open. Feel free to reach out, whether it's about navigating the school system, accessing resources, or sharing your thoughts and ideas.
I can be reached at (647) 403 - 5821 or by email at donna.cardoza@tdsb.on.ca

Why is family engagement so important to me?
Family Engagement is a "full, equal, and equitable partnership among families, educators, and community partners to promote children’s learning and development from birth through college and career.”
My advice is that we see ourfamilies and communities as co-creators and co-producers of excellent schools and learning opportunities that we want for our students.
