CPS Eco-Club School Grounds Clean Up

 Dear Parents/Guardians, 

School grounds and community clean up events make a difference. These actions, although small, have significant positive impacts on the environment and demonstrate the power of working together. In fact, if only 5% of Canada’s population picked up 1kg of litter in one day, 1.4 million kg of garbage would not pollute our environment!

At Charlton Public School, we will be participating in a School Grounds Clean Up campaign on Thursday, April 27, 2023 to demonstrate our commitment to creating a healthy and sustainable world. Staff members will take their students outdoors to pick up litter on the school grounds. Each student will be asked to bring gloves (e.g., gardening gloves, dish gloves). Extra gloves will be provided to those who need them. Students will be informed of safe and proper procedures for collecting and disposing of litter. 

Participating in a School Grounds Clean Up will build environmental stewardship and teach students the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling to decrease the amount of waste we produce. They will also learn that litter in the environment can impact air, water, soil, and wildlife. Thank you for your support in our School Grounds Clean Up campaign and for making a difference for our environment! 

 

Sincerely, 

Charlton’s Eco Club

Elementary Virtual School 2023-2024

The Ministry of Education (MoE) mandated for the 2022-2023 school year that school boards were to 

provide a virtual learning option for students. While we continue to await specific direction from the 

MoE, we plan to proceed with a virtual learning option as this continues to be in the best interests of 

our students, families and staff. This will also align us with the decisions of other boards. 

For the 2023-2024 school year, YRDSB will continue to offer Elementary Virtual School (EVS). For 

secondary students, we are currently assessing the viable options in how to best offer virtual learning, 

taking into account the projected enrolment.

Elementary Virtual School (EVS)

• Please note that due to limited enrolment, French Immersion programming will not be offered in 

EVS in 2023-2024.

• Families currently enrolled in EVS are being asked if they wish to remain enrolled next school 

year.

• Students currently attending in-person schools may contact their home school to request a 

transfer to the Elementary Virtual School for the entire 2023-2024 school year.
