We care about our students, our parents and our community

Dear Parents/Guardians:
I am writing to inform you that our school will remain open this Thursday, December 20 when the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) holds a one-day strike. The Upper Canada Local of ETFO announced this morning that it will hold the strike, meaning picket lines will be set up outside some schools in our jurisdiction. We ask that parents find alternate daycare for their children if possible, but for parents unable to do so, schools will remain open Thursday for our students. Students will be congregated in central areas of our school such as the gymnasium. Students will be safely supervised, but regular programming will not be offered. Parents are reminded to let the school know if their children will attend on Thursday during the strike so the school can plan for supervision. If parents have not done so already, they are asked to preregister their children by submitting the special form that went home last week to let the school know what students will be attending that day. Parents can also phone or email the school to let us know. For further information, please contact the school or visit our Students First Always! Web site at www.studentsfirstalways.ca. Thank you for your help. Sincerely,

Mhairi Rowland Principal
