Tiger Tales Mar. 2019
Happy First Month of Spring!
Did you know our Breakfast Club serves dozens and dozens of students every morning? Students can simply grab’n’go a nutritious breakfast and bring it to class. It does not matter if they have had breakfast already or not. Our Tigers appreciate all of our Breakfast Club volunteers who dedicate their time. Simcoe Community Services, parents, grandmothers, and of course teachers all dedicate their time to this important initiative. Thank you for making sure our Tigers are prepared to take on the day!

And if you are signing out your child early, please make every
attempt to do so before 3:30pm. If it is after this, it becomes a
challenge to bring your child to the office as the students are
getting ready for the end of the day.

Immunization records
The Ontario Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) requires the health unit to have up-to-date immunization
records for all students attending school. According to the ISPA (2014), by the time students reach high school,
they are required to be vaccinated against:
tetanus, diphtheria, polio and pertussis (whooping cough) – booster required between 14 – 16 years old
measles, mumps and rubella – must have two doses after first birthday
meningococcal disease – must have one dose after the first birthday and Men-C-ACYW in Grade 7
The health unit does not receive immunization information directly from doctor’s offices. Please contact the
health unit each time your child receives a vaccine from their health care provider. If your child’s immunization
record on file with the health unit is not up to date, they may be suspended from school.
What you can do:
check – your child’s yellow immunization card
contact – your child’s health-care provider to obtain records, or to get missing vaccinations
share – go to immsonline on the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit’s (SMDHU) website at
https://smdhu.icon.ehealthontario.ca to enter the complete record, or fax a completed record to 705-726-3962
For more information visit the SMDHU’s school immunization page at
http://www.simcoemuskokahealth.org/Topics/Immunization/Immunization-Records/SchoolPrograms.aspx.
Hillcrest will be providing a
RAINBOWS support group starting in
March. RAINBOWS helps children
and teens grieve and grow after a
loss, whether from death, divorce,
deployment or other trauma.
If you feel your child would benefit from attending
RAINBOWS, please contact the school at (705) 728-5246
and ask to speak to Ms. DesRochers.
