Mad Science Returns

Pajama Day and Movie Night Thursday Dec 3 @6:30pm in the GYM

Just a reminder to our families that on Thursday Dec 3, our students are encouraged to get cosy for movie night by wearing their pajamas to school.  Organized by our Student Leadership Council, families are asked to consider bringing a non perishable food item OR mittens/hat for those in need. Any donation of non perishable food, mittens or hat can be dropped off at the school until Dec 11.

Thank you. 

Volleyball

Today our school hosted an Intermediate Girls' Volleyball tournament.  There were 6 schools competing (Silver Stream PS, Bayview Hill ES, Adrienne Clarkson, Red Maple PS and  Beverley Acres PS).  Our girls won 2 out of 5 games and played well, trying their best. Thanks to our coaches Ms. Khorakchi, Mr. Brad Smith  and Mr. Chau for your time and commitment to the team. 

On Wednesday, our school is hosting the Intermediate Boys' Volleyball tournament.  Good luck to our boys!

School Council Movie Night Dec 3

Our School Leadership Council in conjunction with our School Council would appreciate your consideration of bringing a non perishable food item or mittens/hat to be donated to those in need.  Our character trait for this month is empathy.  What a wonderful way to demonstrate compassion for others. 

Earth Rangers visits SSPS

On Monday, our students in grades 1 to 6 attended an educational presentation by Earth Rangers.  They discussed the plight of endangered animals in North America and brought animal ambassadors with them.  Students learned about what they can do to protect these animals. 

Kindergarten and French Immersion REGISTRATION

Kindergarten Registration to Commence January 15, 2016

Kindergarten registration will commence on January 15, 2016 for the 2016-17 school year. Registration forms are available on YRDSB’s website: www.yrdsb.ca. Children who turn four or five years old during 2016, live within the school boundary and whose parents are public school tax supporters will be eligible to register for kindergarten. A kindergarten information session for parents is being planned for this spring. For more information please visit the YRDSB website or contact your local school.

French Immersion Information Sessions and Registrations

Information sessions for the French Immersion (FI) program will take place at French Immersion schools on January 14, 2016 at 7 p.m. Please visit YRDSB’s website in January 2016 (http://www.yrdsb.ca/Programs/fi/Pages/Program-Locations.aspx) to find the FI program location for your elementary school location. FI registration will begin January 15, 2016. Parents or guardians of Senior Kindergarten students entering Grade 1 in 2016, and wishing to enrol in the FI Program, can visit or call the school office and request an Office Index Card - short version. The Office Index Card must be signed by the principal of the home school. Parents or guardians then take this form, along with one piece of identification showing their address to the designated FI program location to register between January 15 and February 12, 2016. This eliminates the need to provide duplicate enrollment information or to pre-register.

YRDSB’s FI Accommodation Plan provides long-term consistency and equity of access to all students in York Region and will enable YRDSB to continue to offer the FI program to all who wish to enrol. The FI program will be offered in Dual Track or Single Track settings, in a variety of configurations. In order to meet community needs and optimize available space in our schools, a community's Grade 1-8 FI program may be provided over more than one school during the course of a student's FI education. This will allow flexibility in addressing community needs and the opportunity to use existing space in schools. More information is available on the Board’s website: www.yrdsb.ca. Please note: Some of the FI accommodation plans will require facility modifications or the development of new schools and will require short-term transition plans that might include overflow while we work toward the long-term vision. Overflow refers to situations in which the Board directs students to attend a school other than their community school or optional program for a specific period of time, as defined in Policy #108.
