Quick News Round-Up
Cross Country - starts THURSDAY 17th September
Parents of Grade 1 children and up - cross country practice starts on Thursday (not tomorrow as in earlier post) at 7.45am for those who want to join in. The meet will be on in early October so just a few weeks of training to fit in! Sessions are Tuesday and Thursday mornings before school and parent volunteers and helpers and cheerleaders are welcome!
Grade 1/2 split class
Those of you with children in grades 1 and 2 may have been aware that there were so many of them, a new class was planned for early in the school year once Ms. Mills had confirmed numbers of children arriving back in September. This has now been done - there is a new Grade 1/2 class starting this morning with 9 grade 1 students and 7 grade 2 students. Those of you affected will have received information about this. The straight grade 2 class - with Mme Mackness - remains as is.
Paperwork, forms and work-to-rule
Parents should have received two packages of paperwork home in the past week. One of these is all white paper and is updated medical and contact information for the school. The other consisted of coloured sheets and was information from the school council including forms to facilitate the compilation and management of class lists and volunteering opportunities. As the teachers are on work-to-rule, they are not permitted to collect these. This is pretty inconvenient for everyone - teachers, office staff and parents - but there you go! If you have any of the packages and do drop-off or pick-up, you can drop them in the office. If you don't get to the school, you can send them in with your child(ren) and we are working to have a dropbox in the classrooms where the teachers can allow children to drop off the forms. The teachers are co-operating and communicating with us about this and everyone is doing the best they can!
Also, Mme Aradj has told me that she cannot start the school-based blog or Twitter feed until the work-to-rule is called off. It will be active...just not yet!
Bike Racks!
Pictured are two of the four new bike racks that we now have at Lord Lansdowne! Hurray! My Grade 2 and SK children were pretty happy about them!

Information and Updates from TDSB regarding Immunizations and the Measles outbreak
Hi there - Ms. Mills has asked me to share the following information from the TDSB in relation to immunizations and the measles outbreak. Hard copies of the letters should be arriving in backpacks too!
From the TDSB
ü The TDSB takes its lead from Toronto Public Health with regards to vaccinations.
ü The TDSB helps with the exchange of information between parents and Toronto Public Health.
ü Toronto Public Health oversees vaccination requirements, including exemptions which can be granted on medical, religious and philosophical grounds. For those wishing to be exempt, a form must be submitted to Toronto Public Health — not the TDSB.
ü It’s important to note that parents must submit vaccination information to Toronto Public Health. Every time a child has a needle, a parent should let them know.
ü The immunization/vaccination rate at each school is a snapshot in time and does necessarily reflect the current rate — as students may have received the required immunization/documentation within days of the compiling that information.
ü The data that has been circulated among media recently is as a result of a Freedom of Information request to Toronto Public Health and does not necessarily reflect current rates.
