Annual Halloween Howl Fundraiser!

Kindie Dismissal Area

As per the note sent yesterday from Clairlea, the Kindie arrival/dismissal area will return to the front of the school (Rosalind side).

"As a result of feedback and staff input, we are returning to our former practice of entry and dismissal of Kindergarten students at the front of the school (otherwise known as our fenced in “Kinder Garden” area). Staff will be in the Kinder Garden yard at 8:25am to greet the students. This will begin after the long weekend on Tuesday, October 15th ."

Thank you for all of your input and concern during the pilot of this process.

Halloween Howl & Strike Action

Dear Clairlea Community,

On Wednesday Oct. 2 the Clairlea School Council (also known as Parent Council) held an evening meeting to plan the annual Halloween Howl. Parents and teens interested in helping out with the Howl were invited to attend. 

At the meeting, a plan for the event was drafted including roles and tasks. In light of recent news, there was also a thoughtful discussion on the status of the Howl given the current work to rule and possible impending strike of support staff.

The group came to a decision that the event will happen (on Oct 25th) as planned only if the labour issue is resolved by Friday, October 11. By resolved we mean that a deal has been struck between the two sides. 

To be clear this means that event will be cancelled if there is a) a strike b) work to rule or if c) a strike and workers have been legislated back to work. 

If the Halloween Howl is cancelled we will be planning a Winter event fundraiser to both recoup the revenue lost and build the Clairlea spirit.

All that being said, we ask that parents NOT wait to bring in candy donations to the main office! We will need A LOT of candy if the Howl is happening. 

In the event the Howl is cancelled, parent council will distribute the donated candy to all Clairlea students on Halloween. 

We appreciate your support and understanding.

Sincerely,

Clairlea School Council Executive
Laura Strachan
Lisa Curran-Lehman
Hanan Haddad

Global Climate Strike

GLOBAL CLIMATE STRIKE - TORONTO

27 Sep 2019 @ 11:00am

Queen's Park. 111 Wellesley St 

Friday, September 27 is the Toronto Global Climate Strike

In over 150 countries, people are stepping up to support young climate strikers. Student voice and action is important for our students and parent/guardian involvement in this process is key. Please see the message below from the TDSB regarding the Climate Strike and student participation.

 Possible Student Participation in Climate Change Rally: Information for Parents & Students:

Inspired by Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, young people from around the world have joined the Fridays for Future movement and are showing their support by participating in climate change rallies. Currently, there is a student climate change rally planned for Friday, September 27 at Queen’s Park. To be clear, this is not a TDSB-sanctioned event, however we understand that students at a number of our schools may take part. At the TDSB, we honour student voice and are committed to ensuring students can express themselves individually and collectively in ways that are constructive, respectful and responsible.

As a Board, we know that climate change is an important issue that needs to be addressed and that students play an important role in building an environmentally sustainable future. The TDSB EcoSchools Program provides opportunities within the classroom, the school, and the community for students to engage in education actions that prepare them with the knowledge, skills, perspectives, and practices they need to be environmentally responsible citizens. This approach is guided by the TDSB’s Global Competencies, which encourage students to engage in local and global concepts and initiatives while demonstrating responsibility and ethical citizenship.

With regards to the September 27 rally, safety is our top priority for students who may be planning to participate. We’ve asked our schools to work closely with student organizers so that their plans include consideration of student safety and logistical issues.

As always, students under the age of 18 require parental permission to leave class. Any students who are not in attendance at school will be marked absent. As is the case with all absences where parental permission has been granted, the absence will be deemed “explained.”

To ensure students receive no academic penalty for taking part in the rally, we have also asked our schools to avoid scheduling tests and other assessments on that day.

In the days ahead, we will be providing additional curriculum resources to support our teachers as they provide learning opportunities for students on climate change.

We encourage parents/guardians to discuss this climate change rally with their child(ren). Student voice and action is important for our students and parent/guardian involvement in this process is key.

Dear Clairlea Families....

I hope everyone had a relaxing summer and you are looking forward to a great school year ahead.  I would like to congratulate all the wonderful parent and student volunteers, staff of Clairlea and Community vendors that made this past June's Funfair a resounding success.  We raised $4000 dollars towards the cool the school program and this newly elected School Council will have the opportunity to implement those funds.
I have had a tremendous opportunity to be the School Council Chair for the last eight years which enabled me to work closely with many Clairlea families, Clairlea staff and the Clairlea community.  As my babies are in high school and nearing high school I have chosen to retire from Clairlea School Council and cheer on all the wonderful parents that are more than capable to step into the role.  Thank you to all for the years of support and kind emails.

Wednesday Sept 18th
7:00pm-8:30pm

The main focus of this meeting will be to elect the new school council executive which consists of the following roles....(I promise these roles are not as intimidating as they seem.  Come out to a meeting and carve your own way of helping out in a way that works for you!)

School Council Chair
Treasurer
Fundraising Chair
Secretary

I have attached a nomination form below to be completed by anyone that wants to be involved in the Clairlea School Council in any capacity.  Even if you just want to be included in the email distribution list.  Also if you want to run for a position please complete the attached form and bring it to the meeting this Wednesday or drop it off to the office in advance.

I wish everyone the best in the upcoming year and I hope that you will continue to be involved in your child's education as much as you are able.

Managing Meanness by Cultivating Kindness

A Parent & Child Workshop

Wednesday, April 24th, 2019

Arts based empowering workshops during the school day

and

6:30-8:30pm Evening Workshop (for students and parents)

During the school day, the students will participate in an arts-based workshop that either uses storytelling, drama or hip hop to empower the students and promote kindness, empathy, inclusion, cooperation, honesty, caring and fair play.

An engaging and practical evening workshop that helps parents and students work together to develop effective strategies to deal with bullying and everyday negative social encounters. 

Evening Outline:

• The parent and child friendly presentation will begin with an introduction to the topic of social meanness and how it effects human development.

• A dynamic storyteller will perform “Just Kidding” by Trudy Ludwig. The story brings to life a bullying scenario and the participants will use the storyline to develop strategies that could positively effect change. 

• There will be an emphasis on using communication to help facilitate dialogue to create solutions. 

• Parents and students will be encouraged to strategize together to find alternative responses to everyday negative social issues.

• Prevention is key to not allowing situations to escalate. Participants will learn ways to identify a potential problem and to address it immediately to avoid future issues.

• Tools will be taught throughout the evening to help the victim, bystander, perpetrator and parent positively change the direction of an uncomfortable situation by implementing the use of empathy, compassion, tolerance and inclusiveness. 

• Resources will be provided to parents to further explore the topic.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Arts Express is a trusted, leading provider of co-curricular and extra-curricular arts programming in Canada. Last school year, we ran in more than 200 schools, building self-confidence and self-esteem in our participants in a safe and nurturing environment.

School Council Tonight

Dear Clairlea Families…
Happy New Year!  We hope you had a relaxing break.   Just a few notes about things coming up.  

SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETINGS.  
WHEN DO WE MEET…
School Council meetings take place every 3^rd Wednesday of each month.  Meetings are open to all Clairlea Community members (Parents/family members of children of Clairlea).  The next school council meeting is on Wednesday January 16th from 7pm-8:30pm. Free child minding is available.  We hope to see you there!  


Some of the items that will be discussed tonight are:
Pro Grant – Last year the TDSB granted our Pro Grant proposal amounting to $1000 with the theme of Internet Security and we were able to bring in Paul Davis to conduct a talk to both our parents and students.  It was a great turn out and success.   This year we are happy to announce that our proposal to the TDSB for the Pro Grant was awarded again for an amount of $1000.  The theme we proposed was “cultivating kindness”.    Stay tuned over the next few weeks for details of how this will be featured for both our parents and students.    We have the opportunity to apply for a Pro Grant each year through the TDSB.  If you have ideas or want to be involved in writing the proposal please let us know.
There are many grants that are made available for schools under various topics.  If you are someone that would like to help research and help complete the applications and compile the data please contact us.   Grants can make a huge difference in bringing resources, experiences and funds to the school.
Hot Lunch Programs – In our last meeting we discussed hot lunch programs (in addition to our pizza lunch program).  We had parent volunteers that generously volunteered to research available companies and present the results.  Based on the presentation we have decided to move forward with “The Lunch Lady” program.  We will do a trial implementation in March or April this year and if it is successful we will move towards implementing the program full time.  Stay tuned for more details.
Halloween Howl – Clairlea Public School has enjoyed the benefits and experience of the Halloween Howl for over 10 years.  It takes close to 50 volunteers to make this night a success and we have been fortunate to have dedicated people involved year after year that we can count on.  As you can imagine some volunteers have children that are graduating Clairlea and we are now in a position to look for volunteers to replace their spot (specifically the haunted library and the running of the Howl).  I will be retiring from the running of the Howl so we are looking for volunteers that will take over the project management of the Howl night.  I will be there to help with the transition.  Please contact us if you are interested in being involved in this process so that we can continue to bring the Howl to Clairlea.  Contact us at clarleacouncil@gmail.com. 

The Agenda for January’s School Council meeting is as follows:
7:00 – 7:40pm Administration Report (Mr. Mcgilvray) 
7:40-7:45pm Treasurer Report (Denise) 
7:45-8:00pm Discussion Points (Irit)
8:00 – 8:30pm Open Discussion (All)

HOW TO REACH US…
If you would like to unsubscribe to this email (we hope you don’t) or know someone that would like to be added to the distribution list please send a request to clairleacouncil@gmail.com.  We would like to hear your feedback and suggestions.  If you are not able to come to the next meeting and want to contribute ideas please email them to us or drop a note in the council box in the office and we can bring them forward to the meeting.    You can contact us via email at clairleacouncil@gmail.com, on the blog at http://clairleacouncil.blogspot.com, or have a look at our bulletin board outside the office for the latest news.
