Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):

During this month of November, we recognize the virtue of Peacekeeping. How fitting that we do so, as on November 11th we remember those who have died fighting for our freedom, striving for peace in the world. On November 11th, we will be having our Remembrance Day Peace Liturgy, organized by our Grade 8 classes. Parents are welcome to join us; we will begin assembling in the Gymnasium at approximately 9:15am and then again at 10:30am. Two separate assemblies will be required to accommodate our students for this event. Poppies will be distributed to the entire school on this day. Please consider submitting a $1.00 donation that will be forwarded to The Royal Canadian Legion on behalf of the families of St. Fidelis School.

Teachers have been working on the Growing Success Progress Report which will be sent home on Tuesday, November 10th. These Progress Reports communicate the students’ strengths and provide information that will encourage students to set goals for learning, help teachers and assist parents in supporting learning at home. Parent-Teacher Interviews will be conducted on the evening of Thursday, November 12th (5:30pm-8:30pm) and on the PA Day of Friday, November 13th (8:30am-11:10am).

Our Safe Schools Team will be working diligently to update our Safe School Improvement Plan. We will be implementing activities and strategies to ensure our students are developing academically, physically and spiritually in a safe environment. In this light, we recognize the week of November 16th as “Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week”; please look out for additional information on helpful activities and reflections that are being planned for our students.

Please note our upcoming CSPC Meeting on Monday, November 16th, at 7:00pm in our school’s Library. All parents are strongly encouraged to attend this very important meeting to receive information and provide feedback.

We wish you all a blessed and peaceful month of November.

Yours in partnership,

Virtue for the month of November is...

PeacemakingPeacemaking can be shown

in many ways!

Here are some examples:

• By opening ourselves up to God, we feel peace within us.

• Every person can work for peace by carefully considering how their words and actions make others feel.

• Be guided by the words of Paul to the Colossians - “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.”

HEARING SOLUTIONSHearing Solutions has established a new hearing clinic for children at the new Humber River Hospital and chose Ms. Marino’s Grade 5 class to paint 25 canvasses for display in the new clinic. The theme of the art project was “ears and the cool things ears can do.” Hearing Solutions came into the classroom to provide instruction on the theme as well as to provide supplies for the artwork – paint and canvases. Hearing Solutions also had an audiologist give a “Hearing Talk” presentation to the Grade 5 students and once the presentation was done, provide a pizza lunch for them and a thank you plaque. Also on hand was Mr. Carmelo Cucchi, TCDSB Arts Resource Teacher, who provided the students with artistic and technical instruction for their paintings. The canvasses painted by the students will be on permanent display at the new Hearing Solutions Children’s Clinic at the new Humber River Hospital.

PUNCTUALITYPunctuality is a characteristic and life skill we strongly encourage at St. Fidelis. It is important that a child develops this responsibility early in life for it will serve him/her well in years to come. For all aged children, it is the responsibility of the parent(s) to ensure they get to school on time.

Students must arrive to school before the 8:30am bell, and be present, in-line with his/her class, when the school bell rings at 8:30am. A student is not permitted to use the main door to access his/her classroom unless they are late. All students entering the front door at 8:30am or later are considered late and will receive a late slip.

Punctuality is one of the many duties of a pupil, as outlined in Regulation 298 of the Education Act. A pupil who is frequently late can be said to be in “habitual neglect of duty” and can be referred to the school principal and/or school social worker if the problem persists.

Thank you for your support in addressing this matter with your child!

PARKINGA reminder to all that the school parking lot is for staff only. Please do not use it for parking, as we do not have enough spots for staff. There is absolutely NO PARKING in the handicap space at the front of the school. The fine is substantial and we need to have the space clear for the appropriate users that need it over the course of the day.

Please observe and respect the “in” and “out” flow in the school’s Kiss N’ Ride loop. A reminder to all that THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PARKING PERMITTED ON BANNERMAN STREET. Everyone is encouraged to either walk to school, carpool, use the Kiss N’ Ride in the school parking lot, or to park on Grovedale St. or Rustic Rd. and walk to school. Police and Parking Enforcement have assured us that Bannerman will be closely monitored for proper use.

KISS n’ RIDEParents who drive their children to school are encouraged to use our Kiss n’ Ride program Volunteers tirelessly show up every morning and evening to ensure that our students are dropped off and placed safely into their parent’s vehicle The continued success of this program also depends upon the cooperation of the whole St. Fidelis Community.

Please follow the rules of the Kiss n’ Ride program and the directions of our volunteers in order to continue a safe arrival and departure for all our students. Also, please be reminded that the Kiss n’ Ride designated parking spaces are reserved for our volunteer parents only. Thank you to all!

SAFE ARRIVAL PROGRAMStudent Illness or Absenteeism

If your child is to be absent from school for any reason, please telephone the school to inform the secretary before 8:30am of the day of absence. (We also have a voicemail box for your convenience to call at any time to leave a message.) This will reassure the school that your child is safe. If a child is absent, then we will call home if we have not been notified.

When a student returns to school after an absence, he or she must bring a signed and dated parental or medical note to explain the reason. If you are picking up your child early, please send a note to your child’s teacher. Please be sure to report to the office to sign them out. If you are returning before the end of the day, please sign your child back in at the office.

If children are not feeling well, please give them an opportunity to recuperate at home. It is assumed that if children are well enough to be at school, they are also well enough to take part in recess. Children need time to get some fresh air and stretch their muscles. If they are dressed properly, they will be able to do this in comfort, even on our cold Canadian winter days.

Also, please ensure we have a current emergency number where you can be contacted.

11ST. FIDELIS CATHOLIC SCHOOL

PIDICULOSISPediculosis, commonly known as LICE, is a common, but pesky problem in schools and among children.

Children are reminded not to share caps or hats, combs and brushes, or other hair accessories. Parents are encouraged to check scalp regularly and to use preventative measures to ensure that their child(ren) do not contact lice.

MEDICATIONPrincipals, teachers and support staff of the TCDSB are not permitted to administer any type of prescription medication during the school day, unless we have written, authorization signed by you the parent, and the prescribing physician. The forms to dispense any medication must be updated on a regular basis and are available from the school principal. Please be advised that staff in TCDSB schools will not dispense non-prescription medications to students.

Students who require an Epi-Pen must have 2 Epi-Pens at school. One to be kept in the office and one to be kept with the student at all times. Students that require “puffers” should have one at school and at home.

All medications will be stored in the main office. Please notify the school if your child suffers from any type of allergy.

ANAPHYLAXIS ALERTAllergen-Aware Environment

Please take special note that we have children in our school who have a very serious, life-threatening allergy to tree nuts, peanuts, all nut/peanut products, all seafood products, called Anaphylaxis.

We are notifying all parents that students should not bring any nuts, peanuts, peanut butter or any food containing nuts or peanut products such as peanut oil, sesame seeds, etc., as well as any seafood products to school.

We ask that you DO NOT bring any personal baking or other treats to the school to share with the class. This is important to ensure the safety and welfare of these children.

LUNCHTIME RULES & LUNCH PROGRAMTo further ensure student safety, students will not be permitted to leave school property to purchase a lunch at a neighborhood food establishment unless they are signed out and accompanied by the parent or guardian of the child, or an authorized adult. The responsible adult must have previous written consent from the parent, a record of which must be on file in the school office.

Children are encouraged to eat lunch at home. Children going home for lunch should leave the school no later than 11:15am and return to the school yard no later than 12:15pm.

If your child eats lunch at school, please ensure that he/she brings a lunch to school every day. We ask that lunches not be brought to school for the students. For those odd times when students do forget their lunches, we ask that lunches brought in be clearly marked and left on the lunch table outside the main office by 11:15. Students can pick up their lunch during the lunch period. Parents Guardians will not be permitted to drop off lunches in the classrooms, nor will students be permitted to pick up their lunches during class time. This is to minimize disruption during important instructional time in the classroom.

SCHOOL BUSESPlease note that if your child is registered to ride the school bus, he or she must ride the school bus and not take the liberty to walk home on any given day. All students on buses must ride the buses to and from school every day.

INFORMATION ABOUT SCHOOL BUS DELAYSTraffic congestion and varying road conditions can impact on the flow of traffic in Toronto, and this is particularly true during the winter months when snow and ice can be a major factor.

The Toronto Student Transportation Group is pleased to provide information about school bus delays digitally through their website at http://www.torontoschoolbus.org

Click on the pink bar at the top of the homepage to get a listing of any bus routes that are being impacted.

DRESS CODE & STUDENT UNIFORM

Students of St. Fidelis School are to dress in the school’sappropriate dress code or uniform, which consists of thefollowing: a navy blue bottom (pant, kilt, skirt, or short); a plain white or navy blue shirt or top, with or without aschool crest; and a white or navy blue sweater or pullover, also with or without the school crest. Examples of items not allowed are: jogging pants, spaghetti strap tops, jean material, white pants, black tights, and short-shorts.

Suppliers that offer school uniform items are: Gino’s Fashions (www.ginofashion.com/uniforms) and RJ McCarthy’s (www.rjmccarthy.com). Uniforms do not need to be purchased through our suppliers, as the school’s crest on the clothing is optional. Parents may choose to purchase regular navy blue bottoms and a white or navy shirt at another location. Please write your child’s name on all uniform items, as many lost items are returned to the office.

It is essential that all students be in dress code from thebeginning as this sets the tone for the school year. We wish to send a consistent message to all students that the uniform will be strictly enforced. For older students, please remind them that it is their responsibility to ensure they come to school in dress code and you may refer them to the student agenda.

INDOOR & OUTDOOR SHOESWe remind all students from grades JK to grade 8 to have indoor and outdoor shoes ready each day!

INCLEMENT WEATHEROn days when the weather is inclement the students may be permitted to enter the building at 8:15am. On such days, the recess periods may be indoor and those students who stay for lunch will be supervised in the building. Weather conditions must be particularly severe; cold weather alone does not warrant an early entry into the building or indoor recess periods.

Those decisions will be made accordingly. It is important for children, particularly the younger children in the primary grades, to come to school dressed properly for the weather.

A reminder to everyone that students who are well enough to be at school are well enough to go out for recess. We do not have personnel to supervise students who wish to stay in for recess due to illness. If they are too ill to go out for recess, then they should be home for the day. This will allow for quicker recovery and less teaching and learning time lost to illness.

Monthly Update from TCDSBNovember 2015

14ST. FIDELIS CATHOLIC SCHOOL

The school year is already well underway, and soon it will be time for parents to meet with teachers and discuss the progress of your children during the first term. My hope is that your children will continue to succeed with the support and guidance they receive from their families and staff in our schools.

In November we pause to focus on peace. It is the month of Remembrance, when we pay respect to all

who have served and died, and those who continue to serve, to maintain our freedom and support peace in troubled regions of the world.

TCDSB focuses on the virtue of peacemaking during this month and celebrates the many students who are taking leadership roles in the fostering of peaceful, happy and welcoming school communities. Appropriately, during this month, we also highlight bullying awareness and prevention, and provide resources for our students and teachers to embrace inclusion and acceptance, and do what they can to eradicate bullying in our schools and playgrounds.

I take this opportunity to wish all of you a peaceful month, as we slowly turn our attention on November 29th to the celebration of the Advent season.

Sincerely,Sal Piccininni

Dear St. Fidelis School Parents/Guardians, Staff and Students: Due to the large number of students and families who may be affected by this situation, we want to inform you that a Canada-wide recall has been issued for all lots of the Allerject epinephrine auto-injectors manufactured by Sanofi Canada.

Allerject is used as an emergency treatment by patients who are at risk and/or have a history of serious allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. This recall is due to issues that may potentially affect the delivery of the required amount of epinephrine. Parents who have a child using this product, are asked to contact their health care provider or pharmacist for more information if they have specific questions about this recall. The Sanofi Canada recall information is available here:http://sanoficanada.mediaroom.com/2015-10-28-Sanofi-Canada-Issues-Voluntary-Nationwide-Recall-of-Aller-ject-Due-to-Potential-Inaccurate-Dosage-Delivery More information about this recall is also posted on the Health Canada website at:http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2015/55620a-eng.php Public enquiries should be directed to Health Canada: 1-866 225-0709.

With thanks for your attention to this,Michael Caccamo
