We look on the brighter side of situations. We are able to see opportunities even in the face of adversity. We have hope for the future. Character Quotes: “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning”. — Mahatma Gandhi Every month at Coppard Glen P.S.,we host our Spirit and Character Assemblies. We gather together as an entire school from Kindergarten to Grade 8, to show our school spirit by celebrating accomplishments and recognizing good character. We also have important messages presented from our student groups such as Student Council, Me to We and our Eco-Team. Parents are always invited to attend all assemblies. Coppard Glen P.S. 131 Coppard Avenue, Markham ON L3S 2T5 (905) 471-0419 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.coppardglen.ps.yrdsb.ca Kindergarten Registration Kindergarten registration commenced on Friday, January 19,2019 for the 2019-2020 school year. Registration forms are available on YRDSB’s website: www.yrdsb.ca. Children who turn four or five years old during 2018, live within the school boundary and whose parents are public tax supporters will be eligible to register for kindergarten. A kindergarten information session for parents is being planned for this spring. For more information please visit the YRDSB website or contact your local school. French Immersion Registrations French Immersion registration began on January 19, 2019. Parents or guardians of Senior Kindergarten students entering Grade 1 in 2019, and wishing to enroll in the FI Program, can visit or call the school office and request an Office Index Card - short version. The Office Index Card must be signed by the principal of the home school. Parents or guardians then take this form, along with one piece of identification showing their address (Property Tax bill or any utility bill, NO Drivers License), to the designated FI program location to register. Please visit YRDSB’s website (http://www.yrdsb.ca/Programs/fi/Pages/Programs-ocations.aspx)to find the FI program location for your elementary school location. YRDSB’s FI Accommodation Plan provides long-term consistency and equity of access to all students in York Region and will enable YRDSB to continue to offer the FI program to all who wish to enrol. The FI program will be offered in Dual Track or Single Track settings, in a variety of configurations. In order to meet community needs and optimize available space in our schools, a community's Grade 1-8 FI program may be provided over more than one school during the course of a student's FI education. This will allow flexibility in addressing community needs and the opportunity to use existing space in schools. More information is available on the Board’s website: www.yrdsb.ca. Please note: Some of the FI accommodation plans will require facility modifications or the development of new schools and will require short-term transition plans that might include overflow while we work toward the long-term vision. Overflow refers to situations in which the Board directs students to attend a school other than their community school or optional program for a specif- ic period of time, as defined in Policy #108.

  • Agenda Memo Agenda Item: 20-42
    Agenda Memo Agenda Item: 20-42 Subject: Termination of Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions on Corporate Parkway Branch Property Date: April 14, 2020 From: Jason Kuhl, Director & CEO I received the communication below from a real estate broker with regard to dissolving the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) in place at the Corporate Parkway Branch and the surrounding development. Upon reviewing them (attached for your reference) we recommend complying with the request to dissolve the CCRs. It is our understanding that 21 of the 22 other property owners intend to do so. The final owner has not yet been successfully contacted. To terminate the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, the attached document would need to be signed. The St. Charles City County Library District owns a property in what is known as 70 Corporate Plaza in Wentzville, MO. We are working on some new development projects in the area, and found that there are some obsolete Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCR’s) that are showing up on title. We are contacting all 23 property owners in the subdivision to terminate the CCRs for the following reasons: a. Pic Investment Corp. (original developer and creator of the CCR’s in 1983) was administratively dissolved in 1985 for the failure to file an Annual Report, and no association for Seventy Corporate Plaza has ever been incorporated in the State of Missouri. b. There is currently no functioning association in Seventy Corporate Plaza, therefore, it would be impossible to obtain approval to construct new buildings with “Plan Approval Committee” approval since no such committee exists.
