Our goal is to enable access to technology at the school that will transform the way students learn and help prepare them for how they’ll use technology in the future.
We recognize that today’s students are part of the digital age. How students are learning is changing and it’s important that we engage them using technology to enhance and enrich their learning!
What you can do:
Make a tax deductible donation to McGregor Wired by writing a cheque to TDSB – RH McGregor noting it is for the “Wired” campaign. Drop it off at the school office. Cheques in excess of $25 will receive a tax deductible receipt from the Board.
