DAILY SELF-SCREENING AND YRDSB CONFIRMATION FORM
Welcome back to CPS for 2022 and Happy New Year to our community members who celebrate and recognize it. Although 2022 has begun with virtual learning, we hope that our school closure, as mandated by the Ministry of Education, will be brief so all of our students can engage with in person learning once again.
In the meantime, please support your child (ren) in whatever way possible in our virtual learning opportunities. Staff will follow the regular timetable with school beginning at 8:25 am and ending at 3:05 pm. Recess break will continue to be at 10:15-10:45 and lunch at 12:25 -1:25. Please support your child (ren) in being on time for attendance purposes and acknowledge via Edsby if they are absent for any reason. We will be doing our best to support the continuity of learning during this time.
In anticipation of our return to in person learning on Monday January 17, York Region Public Health is requiring the use of masks for all Kindergarten students attending York Region schools. All students in Kindergarten to Grade 12 will be required to wear masks. Also please ensure your child (ren) have completed the online screening tool and complete the YRDSB COVID Self-Screening Confirmation.

every Canadian student in grades 4 or 5 the opportunity to ski and snowboard

Message From Our Trustee – December 2021
December 2021
With case counts remaining relatively stable, I
want to take this opportunity to thank our students, families and staff members
for continuing to adhere to health and safety protocols. Your efforts are
appreciated and important to protecting the health and safety of our school
community members. As we have since the start of the pandemic, the school board
continues to meet regularly with public health and follow their guidance.
Families looking for more information or resources on COVID-19 and our schools,
including health and safety guidelines, frequently asked questions and mental
health resources, please visit www.yrdsb.ca/school-reopening or York Region’s www.york.ca/safeatschool.
In November, we held the school council
forums. I appreciated the opportunity to participate in shared learning with
school council representatives on priority topics including the ABCs of mental
health and actioning anti-racism practices. Thank you to all of the
participants and to all school council members for your partnership. There are
so many valuable ways families help to strengthen our schools and support student
learning and achievement. We value the
partnership that we have with families, and thank you for your ongoing
support.
As partners, we want to support you in
supporting your child’s learning, achievement and well-being. The Family
Resources page on the Board website provides quick access to online tools
such as Google Classroom, School Cash Online, Edsby and more. It also provides
links to information to support you in engaging in your child’s learning -
resources like translation tools, IT support for families and tips on
protecting your child’s privacy online. It also includes links to other
information you may find helpful. Find it at www.yrdsb.ca/familyresources or from the link on the homepage.
Over the past few months, York Region District
School Board has been conducting a review of its Trustee Areas. The boundaries
of the areas that school board trustees represent change over time. The goal of
the Trustee Determination and Distribution Study is to ensure fair and
equitable representation of all public school supporters. Thank you to everyone
who participated in the consultation on the proposed options. The final report
will be presented at the Board of Trustees meeting on February 8. You can find
more information about the study and the recommendations on the Board
website.
The upcoming winter season is a time of
celebration for many, and I want to wish you and your families a happy, healthy
and safe holiday season. I hope that over the winter break, you find time to
rest, relax and rejuvenate and we look forward to welcoming you back in
January.
