provided through their homeroom teacher. If you have not received it, you
may contact the office.

Check your junk mail
and/or mail settings for an email issued from YRDSB. Your email address on file
at your child’s school must match the email address for Edsby. If they do not
match, contact your child’s school to update your email address and reissue an
invitation. Updates to email addresses for using Edsby
take 24 hours.
What if I
accidentally decline the invitation from my child’s school?
You will need to contact your child’s school so they may
issue a new invitation to your email address.

password?
Go to the Edsby login page (http://yrdsb.edsby.com), then click “Can’t log
in” at the bottom of the page. You will be prompted to enter your username
(full email address on file). A temporary password will be sent to your email
address and you will be asked to create a new password.

can I not see my other child(ren) or messages from their school(s)?

children at other schools, you will receive a separate invitation for those
students. When you select the link in the email, you will select “I have an
Edsby account” and enter your login and password. Your children will be added
to your account. As long as you are using the same email address, your children
should all appear. If you do not see a child in your Edsby account, please
contact the school of that child.

Welcome Back & Important School Information For September 2022
Welcome back to everyone in our Charlton P.S. community! We would like to extend a warm welcome to all our returning and new staff that have joined us this 2022-2023 school year. We also want to As always, our educator teams have worked diligently to prepare for students to return to school and have participated in required professional learning and training to start the year off safe. As we move towards fewer limitations and restrictions surrounding COVID-19, it is still important for families to be prudent in completing daily self-screening to further prevent the spread of COVID-19. If children are displaying symptoms, please keep them home and follow the screen guidelines outlined by York Public Health. If we have students attending school and they have symptoms, the office will reach out and make contact for next steps. This is in an effort to keep everyone, students and staff safe.
We would also like to welcome our staff working with your children this year. Below is a staff list for your reference.
Helpful School Information - please visit our CPS website for items such as our calendar, holidays and important dates and school information.
Agendas: School Agendas can be purchased through School Cash Online for a cost of $6. You can register for School Cash Online at any time by visiting the website. Once you are registered, you may go to “My Account” and then “Manage my email notifications” to be notified of new items available for your child.
Kiss and Ride Drop Off and Pick Up
Kiss and Ride Drop Off and Pick Up
In an effort to keep students safe and keep school traffic flowing, we are sending out an update to inform our parents and guardians about our Kiss and Ride drop off and pick up procedures.
The Bus Loop is off limits to parents and guardians that drive their children to school each day between 8 am to 8:35 am. Pylons will be placed at the entrance and exit of the bus loop to prevent access. This is important as buses have priority in our driveway loop. They have many runs scheduled after Charlton P.S. drop off and hence must stay on time and enter and exit as per their schedule. At times, buses are late arriving for a variety of reasons and the bus loop must remain clear of vehicles until well after 8:35 am.
The Kiss and Ride area is accessed by entering the parking lot entrance (as indicated on the map). Please pull as close to the curbing as possible, have your child (ren) get out and walk along the sidewalk to the school yard. Please depart promptly by looping through the parking lot so that other vehicles are able to use this space too. Parents are able to also use Joseph Aaron Blvd. and park along the curb or the school lot if they wish to escort their children onto school property. Please avoid parking in the Kiss and Ride lane if you wish to walk your children onto school property. This is a drop off only.
Parents and guardians are welcome to use our parking lot to park their vehicles if they prefer to walk their child (ren) on the yard. This will help out traffic congestion and keep it moving in the Kiss and Ride lane. Most importantly, this will keep our students and your children safe!
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!
Sincerely,
Mr. Brown
