York Region Police offers the Values, Influences and Peers program to students in Grades 6, 7 and 8. The program was created to assist youth in making positive and informed decisions when confronted with the challenges faced during adolescence. Our community officer speaks to the students about various situations that they may face as adolescents and their opportunity to make thoughtful, safe and responsible choices.

Staying Healthy
Parents/Guardians,
With flu and cold season upon us, please remind your children at home about the importance of washing their hands with soap and water before eating and after using the washroom. At school, we encourage our younger students to sing the "happy birthday song" in their head to make sure they wash their hands long enough.
If your child is ill or has a fever or other symptoms of illness, please keep him/her at home until well enough to come to school to help keep all of us healthy.
We will be reminding students at school about the importance of washing their hands, coughing and sneezing into their elbow and not sharing food to stay healthy.
Thank you.

Swiss Chalet Lunch
This is a reminder to all parents who purchase lunches through Swiss Chalet for your child:
We strive to be an eco friendly school and currently the Swiss Chalet lunch has created excessive garbage at our school. To reduce the garbage, students have been given a bag to take home their leftovers from lunch. They can also put any food waste in our green bin and put the remaining plastic container(s) in the recycling bin. Although students are reminded through announcements every Wednesday prior to lunch, the amount of garbage continues to be problematic.
We are asking for all parents to please speak with your child about disposing of their Swiss Chalet lunch appropriately ( as above).
We do need to decrease the amount of garbage it generates or we will unfortunately need to cancel the lunch program.
We appreciate your support and thank you for your understanding.

Remembrance Day Observance ~ Friday Nov 11 2016
On Friday at 10:45am, our school will be observing Remembrance Day in a schoolwide assembly (except Kindergarten). Some classes will contribute a song or poem to help all of us remember and respect all the men
and women who have risked their lives and lost their lives to keep us safe and
who continue to protect our rights and freedoms and those of others. We will observe a moment of silence at 11:00am and encourage a message of peace. Parents are welcome to attend with limited seating available.

Please slow down on school property
Parents/Caregivers,
Please slow down when entering our parking lot or traffic loop. With over 600 students and their caregivers arriving to school between 7:50am and 8:05am, we all need to pay special attention to our driving habits and most importantly our children crossing and walking to the school.
Please take the time to teach your children how to safely walk through a parking lot or cross when there is traffic. These are essential life skills. They will copy what you model for them.
Let's keep all of our children safe by driving in a safe manner on and around school property.
We encourage all of our families within walking distance to walk to school to reduce the amount of traffic around our school.
