An integrated approach to life issues recognizes two categories of issues: those which take human life (e.g. Abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment) and those which attack human dignity (e.g. social or economic injustice). Our ongoing curriculum promotes a Respect for Life Issues, which involves: - formation of conscience - connection between experience and faith - response which witnesses to recognition of the sacredness, dignity and interdependence of all stages of life from conception to natural death Choose Life so that you and your descendants may live.

Please find below details regarding the one-time Professional Development Payment: • The payment will be processed on either of the following payrolls, as per your regularly scheduled payroll: Payroll Payment Dates: May 26, 2006 or June 2, 2006 • Payment will be processed as part of the regular payroll as indicated above, not a separate cheque deposit. • Payment amount per employee at 100% FTE (Full Time Equivalent) will be $311.02. • Amount will be pro-rated based on the employee’s highest FTE value in the 2004/2005 school year, including those hourly and daily paid employees. • Payment will be processed for employees deducted union dues in the 2004/2005 school year. • Payment will be processed for employees that were active, went on leave of absence, retired, or terminated during the 2004 / 2005 school year. Therefore, in order to receive payment, you would have had to be active at some point in the 2004/2005 school year. • Payment will not be processed for employees that went on leave of absence, retired or terminated prior to the 2004- 2005 school year. • The one-time payment will be deemed non-taxable, therefore not reflected on the T4 slip as taxable income. • No T2200 (Canada Revenue Agency Form) will be issued for this payment. Any inquiries regarding the Professional Development payment should be directed to your respective Union. SUBJECT: 5 PERMITS FOR SCHOOL FUNCTIONS SCHOOL YEAR 2006-2007 TCDSB POLICY B.R.05 TCDSB Principals are required to submit permit applications for all pre-scheduled school events or meetings (i.e. parent-teacher interviews, school council meetings, school dances, school anniversaries, team practices, etc.) for the 2006-2007 school year by JULY 7, 2006. A permit is required for any event taking place after 6:00pm Monday through Friday and for any part of the day on Saturday, Sunday and holidays. This will ensure that these school functions are part of the Permits Calendar before any permits are approved for non-school organizations, as outlined in Policy B.R. 05. Principals are also reminded about Item #1 in TCDSB Regulations for School Permits: “Minimum ten (10) days advance notice is required before a permit can be issued. This 10-notice applies to ALL.” Should you require further clarification or assistance, please contact: Angela DiMondo at 416-222-8282, ext. 4370 [email protected] You are the salt of the earth.

It is bordered by the Humber River to the east and Dixon Road/Highway 401 to the south. Many young people in this area live in poverty, as they face high rates of unemployment, are food insecure, and live with parents who struggle to pay the rent on minimum wage incomes. Youth drop out of school at higher rates than in other areas of Toronto and, unable to find work, may drift into gang-related and criminal activity. Key Figures 108,505 people live in % Etobicoke North 27,160 live in poverty – 25.4%* Population living 25.4 in poverty 24.5 Children (under 37.1 18) living in “Poverty in this community is poverty 31.8 cyclical.
