Earth Hour
Earth Hour is a worldwide movement for the planet organized by the World Wildlife Fund. The event is held worldwide annually encouraging individuals, communities, households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on the last Saturday in March, as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. The goal is to get as many individuals and businesses as possible to turn off
their lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change and
demonstrate that people are ready to take personal action.
At Bayview Hill ES, our "Earth Hour" is from 2pm to 3pm today. All essential lights will be turned off as well as unused monitors and computers.
On Saturday March 28 from 8:30 to 9:30pm, take this opportunity to spend time with family and friends celebrating Earth Hour. Find creative ways to spend an hour in the dark. For more information and ideas visit wwf Canada. Let's all take action to bring awareness to conserving energy.

Lice Prevention March 31st
Recently the board’s procedure around the identification,
prevention and treatment of pediculosis (head lice) changed. [Procedure #
657.0] Students are no longer required to stay home from school when they
have pediculosis provided that treatment has been started and
parents/guardians have signed a form indicating such. In an effort to be
proactive about the spread of lice in our building, our School Council, has
funded a company to come to our school and check the heads of every student so
that we can identify any students that might have lice and more importantly,
help support the family in treating the pediculosis and prevent the spread of
lice within the classes.
Lice can occur throughout the school year, however, we notice that
there is usually an increase in the fall and in the spring. We will be
inviting The Lice People to Bayview Hill on March 31st 2015 to check
the heads of every student. If you have any concerns or questions
regarding or wish to request that your child not be checked, then please
contact the school office.
The Lice People are a head lice removal and education clinic
located in York Region. They use a safe and non-toxic lice removal
technique utilizing The Shepherd Method of Strand-By-Strand Nit Removal developed
by world renowned lice expert, Katie Shepherd. The Lice People staff are
well educated about the lifecycle of lice, how to prevent it along with all the
myths and questions associated with it. They provide support
to families, schools, camps and communities by offering current information and
safe solutions to head lice eradication. They and we believe education is the best
defense to beating these pesky critters.
