The Week in Review…
Routinely, our Board reviews they policies and procedures. All
working document policies on which feedback is currently being collected are
posted on the Policies and Procedures for Comment page of the Board’s public website. Due
dates for input/feedback are identified.
The Board welcomes questions, comments and suggestions. Input
and dialogue is an important component of the review process.
Questions about the content of Board policies and/or
procedures should first be raised with the principal, manager or
supervisor, where applicable. If additional clarification is required,
principals, managers and supervisors may contact the lead superintendent and/or
subject matter expert outlined in the executive summary.
Feedback on policies and/or procedures may be submitted
through the school council, principal, manager or superintendent, where
applicable, and should include the following;
- identification of the
specific section(s) of the policy and/or procedure that you would like to
see addressed,
- specific, alternate
wording to reflect your position, and
- a rationale for the
concerns.
Input should be forwarded by email to policy.committee@yrdsb.ca, via fax
at 905-727-3984 or by mail to the education Center Aurora.
Questions about the policy and procedure review process can
be directed to Corporate Secretariat and Trustee Services at policy.committee@yrdsb.ca or at the
Education Centre Aurora at extension 2217.
Student Council
Ms. Ali is in the process of reviewing applications from
grade 7 and 8 students to form our Student Council. Student Council works to
organize events and to raise funds or collect food and toy items throughout the
year.
Bus Safety
Our students recently participated in our annual Bus Safety program.
Students were reminded of all aspects of safety in and around our buses. As a
reminder to students, please be aware of the Bus Danger Zone: The school bus
danger zone is a 3.06 metre (10 ft.) wide area on the front and sides and 3.66
metre (12 ft.) wide area at the back of a school bus. This is the area that
most people are in danger of being hit. Any person who enters the school bus
danger zone should obtain permission from the driver before proceeding.
Eco-Club
Ms. Bowman will be running an Eco-club for interested
students in grades 2 and 3. Stewardship of the environment is an important
responsibility that all people need to think about. We look forward to the work
they will do.
