DON’T BE LATE ! Students can be brought to school as early as 8:30 a.m. That is when supervision takes place at the back of the school. The bell to bring them in to school rings at 8:40 a.m. Students must be at school by this time. Any later, then they will not make it to class on time and it will cause class disruption and interruption at the
office. It’s important to teach your children the value of being on time early in life.
Please … make sure your child is ON TIME! Thank you.
When your child is away from school or will be coming late to school, please call the school office before 9:15 a.m. or leave a message on our voice mail (905) 792-2264 any time of day. Here are some tips for leaving a voice message:
Speak slowly and loudly
Provide the teacher’s name first
State the first name and last name of your child, spelling them out.
Leave a telephone number or student number (this helps us ensure that we have the correct student).
REMINDER: REPORT YOUR CHILD'S
ABSENCE OR LATE
Please remember that we have several students and teachers who have life threatening allergies. Life threatening is defined as: a strong possibility that the student or teacher will die if the allergen is ingested. It is the policy of the Peel District School Board to minimize risks for students who have life threatening allergies through the development and implementation of school management plans (developed in consultation with each student’s parents).
Students in our school have life threatening allergies to the following items: sesame seeds, eggs, and nuts/peanuts. As we have communicated previously, we request that you avoid sending lunch items with peanuts and or nuts. If a student happens to bring a specific allergen into a classroom with the life threatening allergy, the student will be given the option of eating in another specified classroom or bringing a friend to the office to eat at one of the tables.
Thank you for your ongoing help in avoiding sending these items to school and thank you for helping us keep all members of our school safe.

Due to the fact that we have students who have life threatening allergies we request that you not send food items when celebrating birthdays and/or holidays as this puts our students at risk of being exposed to life t h r e a t e n i n g s i t u a t i o n .
THANK YOU!
When paying for pizza, cookies & milk, trips and other items, please give your child exact change only. Teachers do not have change in their classroom and we cannot make change in the office. Any extra money will be considered a donation to the school. Please do not drop off money to the office. Instead have your child give it to their teacher.

In December 2001, the Senate adopted a motion proposed by Senator Vivienne Poy to officially designate May as Asian Heritage Month in Canada. In May 2002, the Government of Canada signed an official declaration to designate May as Asian Heritage Month.
Throughout May, students, staff and parents from across Peel will participate in a number of activities that promote the understanding of the many contributions made by Asian Canadians.

What is EP Week?
The first full week of May of each year is Emergency Preparedness (EP)
Week. This year, we will celebrate EP week May 3 to May 9. EP Week is
a nation-wide initiative to increase awareness about individual and
family preparedness, emphasizing how the public can reduce the risks
and consequences of an emergency by being better prepared. During
this week, we promote, educate and bring about awareness
concerning emergency management planning and personal
preparedness.
What is the purpose?
The purpose of EP Week is to educate students, parents and the
community about the importance of being prepared in the case of an
emergency.
May 4th: Kick Off Assembly for “Jump Rope for Heart”
May 29: Jump Rope for Heart
May 3 to 9 IS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS WEEK
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
The Peel District School Board will pay tribute to police officers by holding Police Appreciation Week from May 10 to 16, 2015. Peel students and staff will show their appreciation for the tremendous job being done by police to protect schools, homes and communities. Police Appreciation Week coincides with National Police Week. National Police Week pays tribute to the work of police officers across Canada.
"The Peel board appreciates the dedication and commitment of police officers who work to keep our schools and communities safe," says Janet McDougald, Peel board chair. "Police Appreciation Week is our way of thanking officers who dedicate themselves to protecting our community. It's also a way to give these officers the special recognition they deserve."
During this week, students, staff and parents in schools throughout Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga will honour the work of police officers and thank them for enhancing public safety and security.

May 8th: Scientist in School
Here are some tips you can review with your child to ensure bike season gets off to a great start:
The right fit
children should be able to straddle the bike with both feet on the ground
a bike that is too big or too small can be a safety hazard
the helmet should fit—if it's too loose, it could fall off, if it's too tight, it's
uncomfortable
Get noticed
a young child's bike should be equipped with a bell and reflector
older riders should have a light and/or reflectors
Follow the rules
no riding on busy streets
no riding at night
stop for all STOP signs
Actions that cause injuries
driveway ride out—not stopping and looking both ways before entering the
street
running the stop sign
turning without warning
cycling in the dark
following the leader—one child goes through a stop sign or misses a parked car but the second cyclist doesn't
ON THE ROAD AGAIN:
HOW TO KEEP YOUR
CYCLISTS SAFE
Trains are often closer and are moving faster than most motorists and pedestrians perceive. That's why all members of a family should be aware of the importance of rail safety.
Safety steps for children
Playing on railway tracks and bridges is dangerous. Find safe, supervised and open areas (e.g., neighbourhood parks) in which to have fun.
The only way to safely cross a rail track is to use designated railway crossings.
If you must cross railway tracks, for example on your way to and from school, stop, look and listen before crossing.
It is against the law to trespass on railway property.
Safety steps for adults
Be prepared to stop at a highway/ railway crossing.
Listen for warning bells and whistles of an approaching train. Turn off, or turn down distracting fans, heaters, music/radios.
Obey the signals. Never attempt to drive under a gate as it is closing or around a closed gate. If the gate begins to close while you’re underneath, keep moving ahead until you clear the crossing.
If a police officer or a member of the train crew is directing traffic at the crossing, obey their directions.
If your vehicle stalls on the tracks, get out quickly and away from the vehicle and tracks. Move in the direction that the train is approaching from to avoid being hit by debris. Your vehicle will be swept forward by the momentum of the train.
KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE AROUND TRAIN TRACKS
In order to create a safe school environment for staff and students, new procedures have been implemented for students with anaphylactic allergies.
All staff must be informed of students who have been prescribed an Epi-Pen, Epi-Pen Junior or Allerject. Two Epi-Pen/Allerjects should be available: one is stored in an accessible location for staff and students, and the other is kept with the student at all times.
Please remind your child that Epi-Pens should not be shared with other students. Epi-Pens are to be shared only in the case of an anaphylactic emergency.
If you are planning to move during the summer, please contact the office for a transfer form. The transfer form will be needed for registration at the new school. This is a two part form. One portion stays at Eastbourne and the other part is taken to the new school.
