Dressing Appropriately for the Weather We are entering a time of year when students need to dress according to the weather conditions. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing a hat, mittens/gloves, boots, and coat and snow pants/snowsuit. A pair of indoor shoes is also required. We want to ensure the students will be comfortable while playing outside. All students must wear snow pants and boots to be able to play in the snow on the field. Students who are not wearing snow pants will be required to play on the pavement. The school board takes its direction from Peel Health regarding the amount of time students are outside during cold weather. “Reduce the amount of time children (grade 8 and under) spend outdoors when the temperature is -20 degrees Celsius or colder, with or without the wind chill. Children are to be kept indoors when the temperature is - 25 degrees Celsius or colder, with or without wind chill.” For more information, please visit the Peel Region website http://www.region/.peel.on.ca or call 905-799-7700.

March is Nutrition Month Dieticians and nutritionists across Canada have marked March as Nutrition Awareness Month. Have your child(ren) help you in making a healthy snack/lunch by avoiding foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt. Strive to provide more water and less sugary drinks (soft drinks and juice). Let’s strive to keep everyone healthier and to become more active.

Food at School Many students and staff in our school have various food

allergies or sensitivities, some of which are LIFE THREATENING. Some of the sensitivities may be due to ingesting (eating), the food, touching the food (the allergen is absorbed through the skin), or the allergen is airborne (breathed in). In other cases, some cultures have food restriction due to religious or cultural reasons. In order to ensure the safety and inclusivity of everyone, we are kindly asking that NO food be brought in to share for celebrations. We recognize and acknowledge birthdays and celebrations every morning during the announcements. Please do NOT send any nut products. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep Claireville safe and inclusive for everyone!

No Scents Makes SenseFor most of us, scented products only become an issue when someone nearby uses too much perfume. For students and staff who have a significant intolerance to perfumes and other scented products, exposure can negatively affect their health and productivity. And for some people, exposure to chemical products can result in migraines, breathing problems, or asthma attacks resulting in illness, absence from work or school and sometimes even hospitalization. As a result, all buildings within The Peel District School Board are SCENT FREE.

Re: Annual Offence Declarations All volunteers are required to submit a Criminal Record Check prior to commencing volunteer duties. In addition, the Board is required to collect an Offence Declaration form from each volunteer annually. In February, Offence Declaration forms were mailed to every active volunteer who submitted a Criminal Record Check with a police search date prior to August 1, 2019. Forms are mailed from Human Resources to the home address on file, please ensure that you advise the school if you have moved. Any volunteer who submitted a Criminal Record Check with a police search date on or after August 1, 2019 is exempt from this process. Forms should have arrived in homes by mid-February. It is important that a completed and signed Offence Declaration is submitted to Human Resources by March 31st. It is the responsibility of each volunteer to ensure that his/her Offence Declaration is submitted by this date to enable him/her to continue to volunteer next school year. Volunteers who fail to provide an original, signed Offence Declaration form by March 31st will no longer be permitted to volunteer next school year. Should an individual wish to volunteer in future, a new Criminal Record Check will be required prior to the commencement of any volunteer duties. Note: Peel Regional Police now charges a fee for volunteer searches to be conducted. What’s the difference between a Criminal Record Check (CRC) and an Offence Declaration? A Criminal Record Check contains an individual’s personal criminal history and is prepared by police

using national data from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). An Offence Declaration is a written declaration signed by a volunteer listing all of the individual’s convictions for offences under the Criminal Code (Canada), from the date of the last criminal record check (CRC) or Offence Declaration. Offence Declarations are required on an annual basis.

Parking Lot/Road Safety In mid –December members of the Brampton Safety School, on the request of the school, came to facilitate a site inspection of traffic flow around Claireville Public School during entry and dismissal times. This occurred after many attempts to educate the parents of the protocol and following the municipal by-laws signs, as stated in the monthly newsletters, as well as on the school’s website. City of Brampton Parking Enforcement Officers and Peel Police were ticketing drivers of vehicles that were non-compliant. As a result, the following recommendations were made:

- the replacement of the missing “No Parking” restriction on the south east side of the exit of the school property - the replacement of the “No Parking” signage on the east side of Gallucci Crescent at the bend at the south of the school to indicate “No Stopping, Mon-Fri,8-5” - the installation of “No U-Turn” signage on Gallucci Crescent in the vicinity of the school; - the Manager of Enforcement and By-law Services be requested to enforce the parking restrictions on Gallucci Crescent at school arrival and dismissal times; - that Peel Regional Police enforce the “No U-Turns” restrictions on Gallucci Crescent in the vicinity of the school; and, to ensure the safety of our students, staff and families, please follow these expectations:- do NOT stop or park on the front driveway of the school to drop off/pick up your kindergarten child or a child’s lunch. This area is for school bus loading only and emergency fire route. - Please do not walk with your child between parked Vehicles, across the parking lot or along the driveway. Please use the sidewalk.- Your child is required to enter and leave your vehicle on the curbside and NOT in traffic- Please slow down in school zones- Please park in the Visitor Parking spots at the front of the School, or out on the road where indicated by the municipal signs.

Winter bus safety

The following winter school bus safety tips will help to keep your child safe throughout the winter months.

Allow extra time to get to your bus stop. Wear bright clothing so the bus can see you in the early morning and late evening. Stand away from where the bus stops. Buses need extra room to stop when there is snow and ice. Use the handrail when boarding or exiting the bus to prevent slipping on wet or icy steps or road

surfaces. Dress properly—winter clothing, hats, and boots will keep you warm. Don't throw snowballs at the bus or other children waiting for the bus. Don't slide on the snow or ice patches in driveways or on the street. Don't push or shove around the bus. Someone could fall down on the ice and get hurt.

On very rare occasions, buses are late because of weather conditions or mechanical problems. Talk to your child about what to do if the bus is late. Here are some suggestions:

When possible, wait with your child for the bus. Make sure your child knows a phone number where he can reach you or another trusted adult.

Lunchroom Supervisors Appreciation Day on March 6

In 2017, the board of trustees declared the first Friday in March as Lunchroom Supervisors Appreciation Day. This year, the recognition day falls on Friday, March 6, 2020. Take this opportunity to thank the important work of lunchroom supervisors, and their support and commitment to helping to ensure that students are safe and secure.

Report your child’s immunizations to the Region of Peel online

When registering for school for the first time, parents and guardians are required to provide up-to-date immunization information for their children. This includes registering for kindergarten. You can update your child’s immunizations online. The online immunization tool allows you to attach a photo of the immunization record. When reporting online, an Ontario Health Card is required.

Report immunizations online at: www.peelregion.ca/immunize

After you report your immunizations online you will be given a reference number. Keep this number for your records. You will need to give this number to your child’s school when registering.

If you do not have online access or your child does not have an Ontario Health Card, take a copy of the immunization record to the school. Make sure your child’s name and date of birth are visible on the record.

Call Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700 if your child does not have an immunization record or if you have any questions about immunization exemptions.

For more information, visit www.peelregion.ca/immunize

Help your family stay warm this winter

Canada Safety Council recommends the following tips for staying comfortable and preventing hypothermia when working or playing outdoors:

Wear a warm hat—most body heat is lost through the head. Children should keep an extra hat at school.

Wear layered clothing. Layers allow warm air to stay trapped around the body. Protect your feet and hands. Wear loose waterproof boots. If the boots have liners, carry an

extra pair to replace damp ones or take an extra pair of socks. Invest in thick socks to keep your feet warm. Mittens are warmer than gloves. Carry an extra pair of mittens to school, on outings, etc.

Prevent dehydration and exhaustion, which can lead to hypothermia. Drink plenty of fluids and pace yourself when doing vigorous activities.

Stay fit by exercising and eating well—people who are fit are less susceptible to hypothermia. If you stay indoors, avoid moving from a hot environment to a cold one. Excessive sweating

caused from an extreme change in temperature increases the risk of developing hypothermia. Eat high-energy food such as nuts and raisins. A balanced diet will also help keep you warm and

healthy in the winter. If you are travelling (on the road or in the wilderness) carry emergency supplies.

Peel Public Health shares tips to help prevent the flu

It’s flu season and we want to make sure students stay as healthy as possible this year! Influenza (flu) spreads easily from one person to another and Peel Public Health has some tips to help reduce the risk of catching the flu and spreading it:

Get your annual flu shot: The flu shot is your best defence against the flu. There are many locations across Peel where you can get your flu shots:

Family Doctors’ offices Walk-in clinics Pharmacies Peel flu clinics

Keep children home when they’re sick: If your child develops flu-like signs and symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue), keep them home from school. Contact your health care provider if symptoms are severe.

Practice good hygiene: Help your child get into the habit of covering their nose and mouth with a tissue when they cough or sneeze and throw tissues in the trash. Cough or sneeze into a sleeve or elbow, if they don’t have a tissue. They should also avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth. This is how germs are spread.

Wash your hands: Encourage your child to wash their hands often with soap and water or use hand sanitizer, especially after they cough or sneeze.

For more information, call Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700 or visit www.peelregion.ca/flu.

Keep your child’s eyes healthy

Did you know that vision problems in children often go unnoticed because kids don’t know any different? As many as 10 per cent of preschoolers will have vision difficulties that can affect the development of their sight if not treated. However, if caught by the age of 5, treatment will be most effective.

The Region of Peel recommends regular eye exams for your child to help find eye problems early and get the right treatment.

The best way to ensure good eye health is to have your child’s eyes checked by an optometrist. Yearly eye exams for children 19 and under are covered by OHIP.

What to expect at your child’s eye exam

An optometrist will complete:

General vision testing in both eyes. Eye muscle testing. Eye coordination testing. A general health assessment of the front and back of the eyes.

If needed, the optometrist will write a prescription for glasses for your child.For information on overall vision health, common signs of a possible eye problem and the programs available to you within Peel, visit www.peelregion.ca/vision-health Teach your child how and where to get help. Talk to your child about what a "safe" stranger is.

Help your child set up a bus stop buddy system so your child has someone to wait with for the bus

What you need to know about head lice (pediculosis)

What is head lice?

Head lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp where they lay their eggs. They have three stages: the egg (nit), the nymph and the adult. Head lice do not spread diseases and cannot be spread between animals or pets and humans, only through direct contact between people.

Head lice spread easily, especially where people are in close contact. They are common among school-aged children or children attending child care, where they spread through direct hair-to-hair contact or directly by sharing things like hats, combs, hairbrushes or headphones.

One of the first signs of head lice is an itchy scalp. However, children can have head lice for several weeks with no symptoms. If you think your child has head lice, check their hair for nits right away, then again after one week and after two weeks.

What to do if your child has lice

If you discover your child has lice, notify the school immediately so that classmates can be checked. Parents must keep their child at home until they have been treated for lice and are nit-free. Students may only return to school if they are “nit-free” and will be checked by a school administrator before being re-admitted to class. If your child has live lice, ensure they avoid head-to-head contact with other children until the lice are gone. Children should not share combs, hairbrushes, caps, hats or hair ornaments. You should also check all family members for head lice. Be sensitive to your child’s feelings and let them know that having head lice does not mean they are not clean.

Head lice can be treated with the following approved insecticides: pyrethrin (found in R&C Shampoo + Conditioner) permethrin (Nix Creme Rinse or Kwellada-P Creme Rinse) lindane (Hexit Shampoo or PMS-Lindane Shampoo)

Although head lice does not pose a significant health risk, it is highly contagious and very uncomfortable for children, therefore schools take precautions to prevent the spread. Your cooperation in controlling the spread of lice by keeping your child at home until they have been treated and are nit-free is much appreciated.

Talking With Children and Youth About Mental Health ConcernsFrom the PDSB Mental Health Resource Team

It can be challenging to talk about mental health concerns - especially to our own children! As parents (like others), we sometimes avoid the conversation because we don’t know how to start, or we worry that by expressing concerns, we will make the situation worse. However, it is important to remember that acknowledging and discussing worries, concerns, or changes in behaviour openly and honestly with our children is more likely to open up lines of communication rather than worsen the situation.

Here are some tips to consider if you want to talk to your child about mental health concerns:

To begin the conversation, find a quiet time when you are unlikely to be interrupted. Reassure your child that they can be open and honest, without you getting angry (even if you

become scared or worried by the information they disclose). Describe the changes that you have noticed in your child’s mood, behaviour, or reactions. For

example, “I have noticed that you are crying more often since school started” or “I have noticed that you seem more frustrated recently.”

Try to label or “name” your child’s emotions and thoughts. For example, “I wonder if you’re feeling sad about losing your friendship with Sam” or “I wonder if you are thinking that this cannot be fixed.”

Allow your child time to reflect and respond. Silence is okay. Be persistent. If your child responds with “nothing is wrong...leave me alone,” reassure your

child that you are there for them. Give your child some time and revisit the conversation again. If your child tells you anything that makes you increasingly concerned, reassure them that you

are glad they told you, offer to help them find the right professional to talk to, and reinforce that you will be there for them throughout the journey.

Remember, for many children and youth, everyday loving support from caring adults will be enough to help them thrive.

However, some children and youth require additional help. Ask your child’s teacher or Principal about the mental health supports and services offered within schools. There are also community resources that provide mental health support to children, youth, and families.

To access child and youth mental health services in the Region of Peel, visit wheretostart.ca. The Mental Health Resource Team has also created a Peel Youth Mental Health Resources

handout that you can access here: bit.ly/PeelYouthResources. Consider the Kids’ Help Phone Resources Around Me service (web: kidshelpphone.ca). Make an appointment with your family doctor or nurse practitioner to ask about additional

supports.

International Day for the Elimination of Racial DiscriminationIn the Peel District School Board, we #ChooseACTION each and every day to proactively eliminate racism in all forms and be inclusive in our school communities. We use an anti-oppressive stance to support and maintain a safe and positive Climate for Learning and Working for staff, students and community well-being. This important day, which we will recognize as a board on Tuesday, March 24th, will help lead the work we all do in our schools with our students in support of equity and inclusion.

History of the Day:On March 21st, 1960, Afrikaner police opened fire and killed 69 Indigenous South African people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa. They were protesting the apartheid "pass laws" that severely restricted the movement and freedom of Indigenous South Africans. Proclaiming the Day in 1966, the General Assembly of the United Nations called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination.

Peel District School Board Focus:This year supports and resources focused on Anti-Black Racism and Islamophobia have been curated and provided to schools. Educators are encouraged to use this sampling of tools throughout the year in our schools and classrooms. Our goal is to proactively eliminate racial discrimination every day.

For more information and for activities to commemorate the day with your children please access the resources: www.peelschools.org/aboutus/equity

Using social media safely

With the growing number of social media sites, it is no surprise that social media is the most common form of communication for children and teenagers. Posts, status updates, comments, instant messages, video uploads, tweets and texts have become a regular part of their lives. While there are many positive benefits to using social media, including staying connected with friends and expressing your interests, students must be cautious in their use of these networks.

Among the most popular social media platforms used are Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube and Whatsapp Messenger. Many of these platforms are free and are available on smartphones and other electronic devices. These platforms are easy to navigate and often allow information to be shared instantly, not only with friends, but with strangers. On social media, it is important to remember that the world is watching.

Here are some tips, provided by the Canadian Safe School Network and GetSafeOnline.org, to keep your children safe and help them make smart choices when using social media:

Set some boundaries for your child before they get their first ‘connected device’ (mobile, tablet, laptop or games console). Once they have it, it can be more difficult to change the way they use it or the settings.

Have a conversation about what is appropriate online behaviour and what actions could have huge repercussions that could damage their reputation and be harmful to others.

Talk to your child about the kind of websites they look at. Encourage them to speak to you if they come across something they find worrying or upsetting on websites, games or social media.

Discuss with your child what is safe and appropriate to post and share online. Written comments, photos and videos all form part of their ‘digital footprint’ and could be seen by anyone and available on the internet forever, even if it is subsequently deleted.

Explain to your child that being online doesn’t give them anonymity or protection, and that they shouldn’t do anything online that they wouldn’t do face-to-face. Users should only accept people they know in order to protect themselves from spammers, strangers and others who may be using social networking sites to commit crimes.

Unlike when they’re meeting someone face-to-face, children don’t always know who they’re actually ‘talking’ to online, even if they think they do. Tell your children they must never email, chat, or text with strangers, and it’s never okay to meet a stranger in the real world.

Ensure your children set their privacy settings appropriately. Take the time to learn how privacy settings work on your children’s favourite sites, and teach them how to control their privacy.

Tell your children never to share personal and private information with anyone online. This includes, but is not limited to, his or her full name, age, birth date, address, phone number, social insurance number, credit card information and parents’ full names.

Limit the amount of time that your children spend on social media platforms and talk about the importance of healthy and appropriate use of technology.

Parent resources help you support your child’s learning

At the Peel board, our mission is to inspire success, confidence and hope in each child. There is no doubt that families play a vital role in helping us achieve this goal. As our partner in education, we hope you'll stay connected to your child's learning throughout his or her entire school experience.

Visit www.peelschools.org/parents/helpyourchild to explore all resources available to parents. There you will find easy-to-navigate buttons that connect families to tip sheets and web pages on a number of different topics, including math, homework, special education, EQAO and mental health.
