SIP AND SHARE UPDATE
It was wonderful to welcome our families this past Wednesday for our first “Sip and Share” gathering. We had a great discussion about mental health, and we are planning to continue these important discussions on Thursday, March 5th from 8:15 -9:30 a.m. Parents, guardians and grandparents are all welcome to attend and you can choose if you prefer to be a quiet listener or an active participant. We want everyone to feel comfortable. We are pleased that Terri Keay, a social worker from York Hills, will be joining us once again. We hope to see you on March 5th!
HAZARD HOUSE – VAUGHAN FIRE & RESCUE SERVICES PRESENTATION
On Thursday, March 12th, students in Grades 2 – 8 will have the opportunity to participate in a presentation about Fire Safety. Please read the attached letter below for more details about this presentation.

PARENT MORNING DROP OFF REMINDERS
It has come to our attention that there have been a couple of unsafe maneuvers in our bus/carpool loop at drop off in the morning. Please follow the directions from our supervising staff to ensure we are keeping all of our students safe. Proceed slowly through the loop (not more than 10 km/hr) and only allow children to disembark when the staff member signals that it is safe to do so.
We also ask that parents do not reverse or park in the loop at any time. Please patiently wait for the car in front of you to leave.
