Lunchtime Supervision
We have noticed many St. Andrew’s students are visiting Owen P.S. schoolyard and the local ravine areas during their lunch hour. We would encourage you to remind your children to stay on school property as often as possible during lunch and break times. If students wish to leave our schoolyard during the lunch hour, we encourage them not to linger at the ravine areas or Owen schoolyard. In addition, skateboards should remain in student lockers throughout the day. Thank you for your support with these important safety issues.

Character Development Theme of the Month: Respect
On Monday, September 22nd, we introduced the theme of respect for self and others. This is one of the themes featured in the TDSB initiative Character Development. Students attended an assembly in which we focused on respectful behaviour, and also reviewed school policies for fire drills and lockdown drills in preparation for upcoming drills. Daily announcements will feature information for students about the theme of the month. Home forms will be involved in nominating students weekly who demonstrate respectful behaviour.

Magazine Sales
This week will be our half-way point in magazine sales for fundraising. QSP is encouraging the online purchase of magazine subscriptions this year. It’s easy to order this way. All online orders are credited to your child’s prize points. A big thank you to our parent volunteers Ms. Poole, Ms. Routhier and Ms. Pelegris.
