School Advisory Council (SAC) Update
Big thank you to our School (parent/guardian) Advisory Council for organizing another successful book fair! This is a great fundraiser for the school. Thank you to all for supporting!
Police Checks
As per LDSB policy all persons volunteering within the school, attending field trips, etc are required to have a Vulnerable Sector & Police Record Check on file. This year the Board has implemented a new policy. As of September 21st, all Vulnerable Sector CPICs are to be filed through the central LDSB Police Record Check Portal. If you would like to complete a Vulnerable Sector Police Check, you can do so through the OPP website. As part of the records application process for volunteers, a supporting letter is required from the school. Kindlyemail the office to request your letter. Please include your legal name in your email.
If the school has your current CPIC on file you are not required to upload it to this portal. However, if you do hold a current CPIC with the school, please complete the following Offence Declaration (which now be required each calendar school year) and either email the completed form to the school or send a completed papercopy with your child.
Please feel free to contact the school with any questions.
October Subway Lunches
We received notification this week that Subway in Sydenham will be closed from October 26th to November 5th. If you placed an order on either of these days you will be receiving a refund.
November lunches are open on School Day and the deadline to order is October 15th.
Data Verification Forms
Students received their data verification forms this week. These forms contain all current information we have in our database (aka Aspen). Please make any corrections on the form, sign it and return it with your child to the school. We would also ask that you you sign and return the form even if there are no changes. This will ensure that the forms were reviewed and our information is correct. Kindly contact the school should have any questions.
