Early Release Day
All schools in the York Region District School Board are committed to improving student achievement and well-being.  On Wednesday, June 29th, 2016 an early release day will take place to allow elementary teachers and support staff to take part in meetings during the afternoon of that day.  These meetings will allow for school staff to engage in culminating activities regarding the review and revision of the School’s Improvement Plan as well as year-end and transition activities that support student success.

As has been our practice in the past, students will attend school during the morning of Wednesday, June 29th, 2016 only.  Students will be dismissed early that day at 11:30am.  Arrangements will be made to ensure that students who are normally bused to and from school will receive transportation at this time.  Parents/guardians whose children attend after school child care should make appropriate arrangements to address this change in schedule.

Message from our Trustee
As the school year comes to a close, I would like to thank you for all that you have done to help make this school year a successful one for our students.
We share a common goal – to give our young people every opportunity to reach their full potential, and we all have a role to play in supporting that goal.  However you choose to get involved, your engagement and support make a difference. We know that good schools become better schools when they are connected with families.
Thanks to the ongoing efforts of our students, families, staff members and community partners, we are creating a welcoming, caring and inclusive learning environment that fosters student achievement and well-being.

As we move into summer, I encourage you to seek out opportunities to continue and complement the learning that takes place throughout the school year.  That could mean taking a nature walk, visiting a museum or reading a book.  Whatever your plans are over the next few months, I hope you have a safe, relaxing and enjoyable summer.
Billy Pang, Trustee

BBQ Volunteers 
We would greatly appreciate more volunteers to help with the annual BBQ Fun Fair on June 8^th, 2016.  We have shifts available before the BBQ, during the BBQ or after the BBQ.   We are currently short on the number of volunteers we need for the event.
High School students are welcome to volunteer and they will receive credit toward their required volunteer hours.
Please complete the 2016 Volunteer letter and submit the form to the school office as soon as possible.  You will receive a copy of the volunteer schedule prior to the event via email.

LAST CALL  for BBQ Food and Ticket Order forms !
Order forms will be accepted until 3 pm on Monday, May 30^th at 3:00 pm. Since we need to pre-order food for the BBQ, order forms received after that time will be returned to the student and they will not be processed. Tickets and limited food items can be purchased at the ticket booths on the day of the BBQ.
