May 12, 2017

Thank you to Mrs. Forte, our Parent Council representative, who organized our parent information night on Tuesday night. Our guest speakers, Dr Susan Mackenzie, Child and Adolescent psychiatrist at CAMH and Carm Viola, Social Worker at George Hull Centre for Children and Families, spoke on numerous topics related to our children's well-being. We will post links to resources on our website in the next couple of weeks. 

Last week, we posted our Evacuation Plan. Each school has to have a plan in place in case we have to evacuate for any reason (i.e. gas leak, heat and generator break in the middle of winter). If we were to evacuate, we will go to the Shale Pit and line up and then head to the church, or we might just go to the church depending on the situation. Our final evacuation site is Lambton-Kingsway United Church. If we were to evacuate, we will execute a mass email and/or phone call and the grade parents will send a message. All parents are to meet in the Shale Pit, west of the south baseball diamond. The vice-principal will co-ordinate the area. When you are instructed, you can sign out your child with the teacher. All children must be signed out with the teacher. If we end up at the church, you can sign your child out with the teacher there. 

Have a great weekend. Happy Mother's Day
