Every Student Counts Survey 2023

In the Spring of 2023, YRDSB will be engaging students in Grades K-12 in the Every Student Counts Survey.

From February 27, 2023 - March 10, 2023, parents or guardians of students in Grades 4-12 who do not wish for their child to receive the survey will have the opportunity to opt them out. Families who do not wish for their child to receive the survey can opt them out by filling out this form, or they can contact CCI Research by phone 1-866-450-4907.

Students in Grades K-3 will complete the survey at home with their parent or guardian. As such, families of students in Grades K-3 who do not wish for their child to fill out the survey do not need to opt-out. Families who do not want their child to fill out the survey can disregard the paper invitation, which will be considered a formal opt-out.

Families of students in Grades K-3 who require an accommodation (eg. paper survey in enlarged print) to complete the survey need to contact CCI Research by phone to make a request 1-866-450-4907.

The Great Gulp by CPS Eco-Club

Dear Charlton families, 

Simple daily actions, such as using a reusable water bottle, can have a big impact on the environment. 

On Thursday, March 9th, 2023, our school will be participating in The Great Gulp, by taking a drink of tap water from a reusable bottle. Through this simple action we hope to raise awareness about drinking water, access to safe and healthy tap water, and the importance of reducing single-use plastic waste in Canada. 

We encourage you and your family to join us in this initiative by organizing a Great Gulp with members of your household, or with family and friends virtually. You can also find other activities to do at home to extend this learning, by checking out the ecoschools.ca/thegreatgulp. 

We look forward to hearing about the unique ways your family participated in raising awareness and taking action! 

From,

Charlton’s Eco Club

Parking Lot Safety

 

Parents and guardians are welcome to use our parking lot to park their vehicles when they  walk their child (ren) on the yard. When doing this please check for other motorists backing out of parking spots as you pass between vehicles. This is extremely important as some of our community members have reported that others are not paying as much attention to this to stay safe. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and attention to safety.
