School Council Newsletter School Council Newsletter March 13, 2015 WHAT'S NEW... March Break is here! There is something so appealing about March Break! It marks the end of a long winter and start of spring. It is an important break in the cycle of school, lesson planning, homework, lunch making, meetings and all those things that are important part of our regular pattern of life. Many people use March Break as family time - whether you travel or plan a "staycation", I hope you enjoy the week away from the regular routine and come back recharged. Relaxation is "Celestial" Here is a great story about student success! Sir Robert Borden student Abdou Sarr has developed a relaxation app to help fellow students relax and sleep better. Sarr recorded the sounds and developed the app called "Celestial". He first submitted it to the App Store on February 23 and it went on sale Sunday - it is currently at number 38. Read about it in the Ottawa Citizen or listen to his interview on CBC Radio.

Redirecting Children's Behaviour - Parent Workshop Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School Council welcomes Marion Balla from Adlerian Counselling and Consulting Group to host a parent workshop. Children learn from an early age that negative behaviour guarantees attention and involvement by adults. As parents and teachers, we need to monitor our reactions to ensure that cooperative behaviours are being encouraged on a daily basis. This workshop, Redirecting Children's Behaviour, will offer strategies to re-channel challenging behaviours toward life skills training and new options for children to consider. Methods of encouragement to increase positive experiences between children and adults will be highlighted. When: Thursday, April 16, 2015 Where: Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School Gym 170 Stoneway Drive, Barrhaven Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm FREE Childcare, please RSVP at [email protected] to reserve your childcare spot, space is limited.

Math Facts - About PI Our recent math facts video links have inspired many great suggestions. This is a combined contribution from Stan Blackey and Anne Teutsch - a math lover's holiday tribute for March Break! This Saturday is PI Day. PI Day is just about the geekiest holiday of the year and it falls on March 14 which is also known as 3/14, just like 3.14 for PI. But this year, 2015, PI Day is 3/14/15 (March 14, 2015), and PI is 3.1415. So at 9:26:53 am it is 3/14/15 9:26:53 or 3.141592653 - the first 10 digits of PI, or the PI Second. As the internet says, it's the PI Day of a lifetime on Saturday. A day not to be missed! A couple of fun links: http://www.piday.org/ http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/world/pi-day http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20150314T092653&p0=%3A&m sg=Once-in-a-century+Pi+%28%CF%80%29+Second&csz=1 BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS Meetings that Matter....

  • Special Focus: School-Based COVID-19 Rapid Testing Clinics
    Special Focus: School-Based COVID-19 Rapid Testing Clinics Update: February 18, 2021 Introduction Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is collaborating with area school boards, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and regional testing partners to run school-based COVID-19 rapid testing clinics. The purpose of the clinics is to improve access to testing and identify any students, staff or family members with COVID-19 infections. People who are symptomatic, asymptomatic, or high-risk contacts with connections to the invited schools are eligible for this targeted testing. The goal is to prevent COVID-19 spread at home, in our schools and in our community, and ultimately keep our classes and schools open for in-person learning. Both the rapid antigen test and the lab-based test are available on site. Rapid testing is used for those without any symptoms and without any known high-risk exposure and is used in conjunction with a confirmatory lab-based test for those with symptoms or a known high-risk exposure. While rapid testing allows for same day results, positive results require confirmation with a lab-based test available on site. If an individual tests positive, the individual and their household contacts are called to return for a lab-based test (if not already completed) the same weekend to confirm the rapid test result. These families are advised to stay home until confirmatory lab-based results are received. If confirmed positive, they are required to complete their isolation period. The individuals and their families are supported by OPH case managers. Additional social supports are also available on site.

The Ontario Ministry of Education has also created a handbook to assist parents participating in their school’s council. This handbook could prove useful if councils are interested in the history of school councils in Ontario, an overview of the roles and responsibilities of actors within the Ontario education system, and detailed examples of specific actions taken by school councils. A printer friendly version of this handbook, School Councils: A Guide for Members, can be found online at http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/elemsec/council/council02.pdf. Congratulations on your election as a School Council Chair at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) for the 2011-2012 year! School Councils are important partners in improving student achievement, enhancing communication, and promote a safe school culture.
