The Transportation Consortium and the Bylaw officers are asking us to ensure that our FIRE ROUTES are clear at all times. Our parking lot was designed for a WALKING ONLY community – and hence we are challenged by the vast number of cars through our Kiss'n Ride and parking lot daily. </p><p>Here are some suggestions as you work to help us keep our school the safest it can be for our students:</p><ol><li>Enter Kiss'n Ride through the entrance farthest from the Park (all others will be blocked as of Feb 20<sup>th</sup>)</li><li>Encourage walking to school – buddy up with older students or walking parents in the community to have groups of student walk to school</li><li>Park in our parking lot (if you can find a spot) and walk your child to the yard</li><li>Park on Winchester Terrace, across from the school and walk your child across the street to school</li><li>Drop older children off at the catwalk on Empire Drive and let them walk through the Park to school</li><li>Use only cross walks to deliver students to school (do not cut through the shrubs and through an active Kiss'n Ride area</li><li>Do not stop on the Queensway – especially to let students out of cars on this busy street</li></ol><p>Bylaw officers have notified us that they will be on school property randomly ticketing drivers who do not comply with the NO PARKING in Fire Routes bylaw and on the Queensway ticketing cars that stop. We don't want any of our families ticketed – so we wanted you to be award in advance. </p><p>Thanks in advance for your co-operation of this change and helping to ensure the safety of our students.</p><p><br></p> | | | |
| Sledding Safety at School | http://hyd.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/74 | Sledding Safety at School | <p><strong>Reminder about sledding safety at school:</strong></p><p><b><br></b>Student safety is our first priority, and although we do allow "crazy carpets" and soft sleds at our school, we do not allow hard sleds, two-person sleds or snow racers. We do supervise sledding and we remind students of safety rules on a regular basis. </p><p>We want to inform parents that if students are sledding at school, Ophea (the Ontario Physical and Health Education Association) recommends that they should wear a properly fitted (as per manufacturer's guidelines) and properly worn CSA-approved hockey helmet or snow sport helmet certified by a recognized safety standards association.</p><p>While wearing a helmet is not mandatory, you are welcome to send a helmet to school with your child, on the occasion that they may be sledding at school. </p><p> </p> | | | |
