Parking &Traffic Safety
Reminder that there is no parking after 8am on the street directly in front of the school between the drop off loop driveway. Please park away from the black fence at the front of the school if you must come in to drop off students.
Thank you to our parent volunteer team who have been out directing cars each morning. So far we've had excellent results and lots of great feedback on their efforts.
Our goal is to have drivers drop students off in the front loop (right lane only) and park in designated areas if they need to come into the school.
Thanks to everyone for all your efforts, you are truly making a positive impact on our school community!
Ms Elizabeth in the office will be going to our School Cash Online account for any outstanding payments. Some parents will be receiving a letter after the March Break with the outstanding balance.
Please review your Cash Online account and pay any outstanding fees.

is to replace the cancelled March 8th meeting). We will now be meeting
on Thursday, March 29th at 9:15am. Please mark your calendars.
As mentioned previously, we
will be conducting elections for Ward 13 reps to 2 TDSB Advisory Committees
at this meeting. Please see details about the procedure below.
Both the Parent Involvement
Advisory Committee (PIAC) and the French as a Second Language Advisory Committee
(FSLAC) welcome observers to all their meetings, however we will be choosing the
voting members of those committees.
As part of the election
package, I am also enclosing information about the Roles
and Responsibilities of a PIAC Ward Rep and Alternate and the Role
of PIAC at the TDSB.

intention to run up until the beginning of the meeting on March 8 or during
