ORIOLE PARK SCHOOL ASSOCIATION MINUTES OF A MEETING HELD WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5TH , 2013
Meeting called to order at 7:00 pm.
PRESENT: See Appendix A
After introductions of those present, a motion to approve the minutes of the previous OPSA
meeting of March 20th
, 2013 (see Appendix B) was made by Steven Sims; Seconded by Will
Ollerhead. Carried unanimously.
PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Ms. Esakov presented a powerpoint slideshow, attached hereto as Appendix C, in which she
touched on, among other things: “21st century learning”, context for the curriculum and learning
environment, Caring & Safe Schools priorities, Diversity/Equity.
CHAIR’S UPDATE Prior to commencing Chair’s update, a brief discussion of the recent Arts Enrichment events
sponsored by OPSA was led by Jennifer Symmonds: a Maori Dance Troupe, and Cadence, an
a’Capella history of music show.
Jennifer reports that she will be succeeded by Monica Gain in heading the Arts Enrichment
Committee. Noted that others have been identified to join Monica in this effort. Monica invited
input from anyone with ideas for the committee, for next year’s undertakings.
Chair addressed:
1) Volunteer Tea – upcoming
2) Goal to improve AV presentation capabilities in the gym through new projection screen
and/or PA system. Research has been ongoing. A budget of up to $4,000 may be
required for both elements;
3) Kinder Garden for Ms. Somerville: a garden dedicated to the contribution made by Ms.
Somerville to the kindergarten students of Oriole Park is being planned, to be developed
in conjunction with the Eco-Club. Site to be determined, planting to be completed in
June;
4) PRO Grant – a grant application has been made to the Ministry of Education for a
“Parents Reaching Out” Grant that, if obtained, will be used to conduct a “series of
seminars and interactive sessions to (a) educate parents about the ever-changing
technological environment in the context of social media, and internet communications
generally, and approaches to ensuring online safety; and, (b) introduce parents to ideas to
encourage "off-line" interaction and ideas for engagement with the "real world" vs
"virtual world" in more traditional ways, in order to further students' overall well-being”.
(See Appendix D)
5) Staff Appreciation Luncheon – to be held June 21st . Volunteers still needed to provide
food and drink, and assist with set-up/clean-up
6) Committee membership for 2013/14 – considerable discussion of shortfalls in volunteers
this year. Various thoughts on how to re-engage the parent base to raise involvement
were tabled. Shelley Laskin noted that sending out a communiqué with children’s report
cards at year end has been an effective approach in some other schools. Also considered
various thoughts to notify and engage parents in September – whether at Curriculum
night BBQ, or via specific forms being delivered soliciting active involvement, or
through having Class Parents pursue the support of parent volunteers on behalf of OPSA.
Some thought given to preparing a survey to gather insight from parents on what kinds of
things they would volunteer for, and what kinds of things people think OPSA should be
pursuing. Idea of creating a “New Parent Committee” was floated. There was also noted
by several that a ‘streamlining’ of the number of committees could be in order. Appendix
E outlines Committees historically created by OPSA.
COMMITTEE UPDATES
Mayfair Committee
Olga Fowell reported on the results of Mayfair. Attached as Appendix F is a copy of the
presentation. This year’s Mayfair represented a record fundraising achievement. Much
discussion on how this was achieved in spite of lower than usual volunteer involvement Some
discussion about how/what changes might be appropriate, in the context of what Mayfair’s
overall objective is or should be – Is priority as a Fundraiser? Community Get-Together?
Children’s Activity?
Other Committees
OPSA Handbook – Parent Handbook hasn’t been published since 2010/11. Noted that, while
unnecessary every year, at least every few years a hardcopy version ought to be published.
Intention to publish updated version in September.
Lice Check – some resistance encountered to imposing $2/head charge to cover third party
examiners, as was experimented with. School to make use of public health nurse(s) instead.
Fundraising – noted that some schools’ parents associations issue a letter at the commencement
of the school year soliciting contributions for the association, with an outline of what it is the
association does for the school. It was suggested we should employ a similar strategy.
Class Parents – noted that roles of Class parents need more clear definition up-front – e.g. role
to include interaction with OPSA on behalf of the class, interaction with Teachers, and generally
as liaison between OPSA and the parents of each classroom.
TREASURERS REPORT
Steve Sims presented report on the financial position of OPSA (see Appendix G). Generally
noted that revenues are down, but mitigated in large part by lower expenditures, though not
entirely. Goal has always been to close the year with sufficient funds to cover all budgeted
expenditure plans for the subsequent year. This will not be the case for next year. Additional
fundraising initiatives may be necessary next year to meet the shortfall.
OTHER BUSINESS
Question was posed to Ms. Laskin as to likelihood of itinerant music program being cut Ms.
Laskin responded that a budget was being presented to the board June 19th, but there was a
‘sense’ that there will be enough votes to preserve the program.
Ms. Laskin invited interested parties to attend a June 11 budget forum meeting at Northern S.S.
Also invited thoughts and feedback. Notified those present that updates from her office available
regularly on her website.
Website – Consider creating new standalone OPSA website?
Chair to circulate a survey to parent body at some point to explore (a) what priorities OPSA
should consider for any extra fundraising, (b) possible new fundraising ventures, and (c) whether
there are new OPSA committees that should be contemplated, or tasks undertaken
Will Ollerhead moved to adjourn the meeting. Steve Sims seconded. Formal meeting adjourned
at 8:45pm. Ms. Esakov remained to make presentation on the staffing model, and allocation,

Motion to approve minutes of February 6th
, 2013 tabled by Natasha Karfell. Seconded by Steve
Sims. All in favour.
Principal’s Report
Ms. Esakov thanked all of the parents who have brought to her their perspectives, visions, and
opinions on the direction Oriole Park is and should be taking. This has been a tremendous help
in understanding the needs of the staff, students and parents.
A notice, on blue paper, recently was sent home regarding health and safety issues in the junior
grades, (grades 4-6). Recent incidents have prompted a review of Oriole Park’s health and safety
practices. To date, staff walkie talkies and safety vests allow teachers to remain in
communication and be highly visible to children when supervising on the playground.
Assemblies have been conducted in order to generate discussion and understanding among the
students about how they can forgive, accept differences and be able to move on from issues that
arise among and between themselves and their peers. As per Kathy Grant’s suggestion, details
of the topics of these assemblies will be included in the weekly update so that parents have the
opportunity to reinforce health and safety topics at home. Oriole Park’s Code of Behaviour has
also been discussed and shared and ideas are being generated on how to further embed it in the
classroom and on the playground.
The Safe and Caring Schools Committee has been looking at several methods, programs and
speakers who may be brought into the school in order to educate with the goal of reducing health
and safety issues. Programs that focus on topics such as empathy, impulse control, anger
management, and bullying are all being investigated and assessed for the best fit for Oriole
Park’s students. It was also suggested by Olga Fowell that the School Climate Survey be
investigated and rolled out to the staff, parent and student population. This will also be a topic
for the Safe and Caring Schools Committee.
The Class of the Month program has also been initiated. The classroom that has shown
significant caring and kindness will win this title each month, helping to bring these
characteristics into focus in the classroom.
The Ministry of Education also mandates the Choices Into Action document which allows for a
further classroom focus for these issues. Some approaches have been a study of fictional
characters and their personal characteristics and behaviours. Officer Marcy of the Toronto
Police Service also has visited the classrooms to discuss issues of social justice. The grades 5
and 6s are working on a video, modelled after UNITED, which promotes a positive message of
working together.
In addition, the issue of the parking situation in the overflow parking lot on the west side of the
school is a great cause of concern for student safety, so parents are reminded to refrain from
parking, picking up or dropping off children in this area at all times. Also, do not park on the
east side of Braemar when either picking up or dropping off.
It is important to build mutual trust between staff, students and parents in order to ensure that all
feel safe and secure at the school. This requires ongoing conversation and dialog. There will
always be issues among children, and it is important that they learn to deal with differences and
adversity in a safe and accepting environment.
At the last OPSA meeting, the possibility of this year’s ACE day (Alternative Curriculum
Education) was discussed in light of the current situation with the teachers’ union’s position on
extracurricular activites. Ms. Esakov reported that ACE day is being planned; she has spoken to
some of the staff and confirmed willingness to participate in activities that may also be off-site.
Suggestions for activities that might be appealing to the children may be directed to Natalie.
Some suggestions included an Apple instructional group, creating videos, a visiting artist, GTA
sports and others.
The new gym mats are up and look fantastic. The second floor now is well lit as well.
Ms. Esakov received Oriole Park’s staffing numbers on the 19th
. The staffing is up half a teacher
due to being able to successfully obtain an ESL teacher. There will be a mandated grade 3 / 4
split in order to preserve the primary grade cap of 20 children per class. There will be three half
day kindergartens in preparation of the 2014 rollout of full day kindergarten. The Staffing
Committee will be looking at the variety of models to be implemented next year.
Dates for the this year’s EQAO have yet to be set, however they typically occur in late May or
June.
Committee Reports
Mayfair Committee
Olga Fowell reported that the first meeting of the committee was held at the end of February.
There are some new faces on the committee, and more volunteers are welcome. A DJ is secured,
and the date has been set for May 25th
, 11am to 3pm. The teachers have agreed to continue to
volunteer their time for the “Shoebox” prizes which are always a big favourite among the
children. Natalie Witkin is calling for donations for the silent auction.
Movie Night Committee
Monica Gain reported that the most recent movie night was so successful that they ran out of
food! On offer are hotdogs, pizza, refillable popcorn and drinks. The date for the next movie
night has yet to be set. Monica requested that the old gym mats not be disposed of as these are
perfect for cushioning the gym floor for movie nights. Ms. Esakov commented that as the
climber in the gym will be taken down, perhaps it is time to obtain quotes on a screen.
Grad and Yearbook Committee
Chantale Lalonde reported that both the graduation party and yearbook are on task.
Pizza Lunch
Kathy Grant and Natalie Witkin reported that the new 3 slice option is very popular with the
older grades. There are seven lunches left. Administration has been streamlined.
Ladies Night
Heather Harris reported that Ladies Night has been tentatively scheduled to take place on
Wednesday, June 5th
.
Art and Enrichment
Jennifer Symmonds has arranged two performances: on April 2nd
a morning show of a Maori
dance troupe, and in the afternoon of May 31st a performance by Cadence A Cappella. Parents
are welcome.
Treasurer’s Report
Steve Sims reported that this budget was developed last spring, and there have not been any
significant changes since budget was approved in September 2012. There has also not been any
significant changes in the financial position since the last OPSA council meeting six weeks ago..
see the attached ‘budget-versus-actual’ financial report.
OPSA is tracking to earn a gross revenue of $30K, compared with a revenue of $47K in the
previous year. However this is matched with an equal decrease in spending. This is primarily
due to many programs that run every second year, instead of annually.
Class Funds consists of an allocation to the teachers, based on the number of students in each
class, for which the teachers can spend up to 1/3 of the class funds for supplies or materials, such
as art supplies, and the remaining 2/3 or more can be used for other items which would augment
the classroom curriculum including equipment, field trips or guest speakers. Teachers have spent
approximately $2,000 of the aggregate annual budget of $7,800.
Grade 5/6 teachers expressed interest in acquiring new cameras with their allocation of
classroom funds for creating videos and stills. Question was raised as to whether OPSA had
purchased a camera or cameras previously (e.g. for yearbook), which could be employed.
Principal Esakov is compiling a list of all electronic equipment at the school to ensure no
unnecessary duplication of purchases occurs.
A question was raised about whether OPSA had purchased fans for classrooms which may have
gone missing. [Post-meeting, Natalie has looked into this further and found that there were not in
fact any fans purchased from OPSA funds, rather parents had brought them into their children’s
classroom for use during the warm spring season].
Some suggestions for Safe Schools spending include programs such as the Power of One and
Who I Am Makes a Difference. The Safe and Caring Schools will investigate both.
A new fundraising goal should be discussed and agreed upon. The creation of a new primary
playground has been discussed many times. It would be beneficial if a parent would spearhead a
Primary Playground Committee this spring in order to get the ball rolling. When the Junior
Playground was in the planning stages, the first step was to canvas staff, children and parents on
what they would like the playground to offer. Volunteers can speak directly to Koo Chun. A
call for volunteers will be included in the next update and should be a topic for presentation and
discussion at the next Welcome to Kindergarten Night.
Other Business
Extracurriculars
GTA Basketball started on March 20th
. Other after school programs are being investigated for
the fall.
Spring Garden Sale
Bradford Nursery offers an Easter Plant Sale for schools. Orders must be placed by April 1st, but
this is a fundraiser to consider for next school year.
Earth Day
The TDSB Earth Hour is between 2-3pm on Friday, March 22nd
. Mrs. Zezima’s class has been
doing garbage pickup.
Oriole Park Residents Association
Steve Sims, as Treasurer of the Oriole Park Residents Association (OPA) outlined how this
volunteer driven, non-profit organization works to protect and inform the residents of Oriole
Park (the area bounded by Chaplin Crescent, Eglinton Avenue and Yonge Street).
OPA is your Community Association, made up of you, your neighbours, and thousands of other
families in Oriole Park. We are committed to organizing and promoting community activities, to
encouraging and enabling involvement of residents in issues which affect our community, and to
representing the interests of the community in dealing with governments and other organizations.
With respect to transit developments in the area, an LRT Construction Liaison Committee will
be struck and OPA will be a member, representing the interests of our neighbourhood.
Membership, which is $36 annually, has typically supported OPA initiatives such as
representation at the OMB, among other things. Everyone is encouraged to join us (Sign up at
www.orioleparkassociation.com). There will be a table at Mayfair and residents stop be to enter
a contest (winner will win a certificate at Sheridan Nurseries).
Equity
Natasha Karfell introduced a concern that representation of religions should be equitable within
the school environment. A number of parents concurred that there was heavier emphasis on one
religion to the exclusion of others. Ms. Esakov welcomed this information and will look into it
further.
Other News
The Staff Appreciation Lunch will be held on June 21st. Volunteers are needed.
The Volunteer Tea will be held. No date has been confirmed.
The Art Barn offers programs for classes at a price of $18 per child.
Ms. Esakov provided a brief update on the teacher’s union action. No new information is known
by the administration aside from what everyone has learned from the media.
Olga Fowell questioned the 20 minutes of non-mandated time that teachers have at the lunch
hour and asked if this could be used to supervise lunches. Ms. Esakov confirmed that this is not
prep time or supervision time, but timetabling can and will be looked at for next year.
Heather Harris moved to adjourn the meeting. Will Ollerhead seconded. Meeting adjourned at
8:47pm.

PROJECT INFORMATION School Number: 421537Regional Office: Toronto and Area Regional Office
1. Indicate the challenge(s) to parent engagement being addressed by your project:
Other
If other (please specify): Educate parents about everchanging technological environment in the context of social media, and internet communications andapproaches to ensuring online safety; Introduce parents to ideas to encourage "off-line" interaction and stimuli to further students' wellbeing
2. Select up to three statements that describe the goal of your project:
Create a welcoming environment for parents as partners in their children's education;Eliminate barriers that may prevent parents from fully participating in their children's learning;Provide parents with the knowledge, skills and tools they need to support student learning at home and at school
3. Outline the steps to be followed in the process in order to meet your goal. Indicate what, how, who and when it will be done.
i) What will be done?
Host series of evening speakers and/or workshops at the school presented by experts in the above-noted fields. Childcare will be provided onsite to enableattendance.
ii) How does this enhance parent engagement in support of improved student achievement and well-being?
Our school has recently completed major fundraising initiatives for technology in the classroom, and with this enhanced access to technology students willin many cases have more exposure to social media, the internet etc. than their parents. Each year the school welcomes many families who are newcomersto Canada, for whom such knowledge may be limited. The seminars expose parents to a better understanding of these areas, provide ideas forencouraging safe online behaviour for the kids, encourage thoughtful offline interactions, and by keeping parents informed about the kinds of things thechildren are exposed to technologically, it will allow for enhanced communication between parents and children about their online and offline activities.Finally, these events will also provide a venue in which families may get acquainted with one another, strengthening our school's sense of community.
iii) Who will do it?
Overseen by a committee of the Oriole Park School Association, third party experts will be engaged.
iv) How will it be done?
Sessions will be hosted in classroom or library space at the school, with presenters making use of Technology previously purchased for the school by theOriole Park School Association.
v) When will it be done?
Selected evenings, to be determined, throughout the school year, commencing in late 2013.
vi) Why do you want to organize this project?
As a parent of a 9 and 11 year old, I am constantly being exposed to new technological experiences our enthusiastic children become aware of, and I knowI am not alone in wanting to catch up! At the same time, just as challenging is to disengage the children from technology from time to time, and I wish toexplore avenues for encouraging our student body to connect with the world in more traditional ways, and interact with people. There is plenty of anecdotalevidence of kids' verbal communication and interpersonal skills deteriorating in this on-line world
4. Does the project support a ministry initiative? Please select all that apply?
Character Development;Safe, Inclusive and Accepting Schools;21st Century Teaching and Learning
5. Indicate the steps you will follow when evaluating the success of your project.
Success will be measured by (a) the level of participation by the parent body, and (b) feedback as collected in surveys to be completed by participants onthe usefulness and content of the sessions.
6. In one sentence summarize your project proposal.
Series of seminars and interactive sessions to (a) educate parents about everchanging technological environment in the context of social media, andinternet communications generally, and approaches to ensuring online safety; and, (b) introduce parents to ideas to encourage "off-line" interaction andideas for engagement with the "real world" vs "virtual world" in more traditional ways in order to further students' overall well-being.

APPENDIX ECommittees
ORIOLE PARK SCHOOL ASSOCIATION (OPSA)
The Oriole Park School Association (OPSA) offers an opportunity for parents to become involved in their child's school, to help enrich their child's education and to make the school a better place for all. Every Oriole Park school parent or guardian is automatically a member of the Oriole Park School Association and is invited to attend the OPSA meetings and to volunteer for one of the many OPSA committees or positions.
The money raised by OPSA each year provides each of the teachers with a classroom fund of $30 per primary student and $20 per junior student, which teachers use to buy things like science materials, art materials and other classroom supplies. It provides a fund for items to be purchased for the school, such as musical instruments and smart boards; it supports team sports and it helps buy books for the library. The OPSA budget also funds enrichment activities such as having scientists come in to your child's classroom to conduct hands-on experiments with the children, and fine artists and composers come into the classroom to create artwork and musical compositions with the children. OPSA also pays to bring music, theatre and dance performances to the school. OPSA also helps to bring our school community together, with the Parents Handbook and with events like the BBQ at Curriculum Night, the Skating Party and the Grade 6 Graduation.
Any contribution a parent can make to the school, through volunteering for an OPSA position, in the classroom or on a field trip, or supporting an OPSA fundraiser, is much appreciated. A list of the OPSA committees and positions, together with contact information for volunteers is shown below. If you can volunteer for one of the OPSA positions, or would like more information, please contact OPSA Chair Koo Chun at 416-489-2578 or [email protected].

Volunteer Update
• Year over year, we are trending downward on volunteering
with 2013 being the lowest:
– 2011: Asked for 175, filled 172; 98% filled
– 2012: Asked for 183, filled 148; 81% filled
– 2013: Asked for 176, filled 137; only 78% filled
• Committee was also smaller from last year (down 3
people)
• This year’s event “appeared” to go smoothly; however:
– same people were being asked to run multiple shifts
– Committee teams overworked (in some areas)
Summary Mayfair was a huge success!!!
• Great weather
• Introduction of DJ entertainment (positive feedback)
• Positive feedback (i.e. Best Mayfair Ever)
• Best Silent Auction revenue ever
• Best Ticket sales ever
• Sponsorship of Rides continued with a couple of new ones, and some dropping off
• New vendors (that approach us) and Out Reach added to “Community corner”
• Negotiation of rides/games improved
• 3rd year of wristband sales; concept adopted
• Better prizes (i.e. more water guns, new vendor, Giant Panda )
• Better food; ordered an extra BBQ and had chaffing dishes which reduced the line-ups seen
last year
• Volunteering was lowest in past 3 years
• Mayfair committee was too small (some members from this year have already stepped down
and there will be a need for replacements in addition to adding significantly more people)
Recommendations • Conduct short survey of parent body to identify parent volunteer
perception/commitment; some families may rather just write a cheque
• In order for Mayfair to continue generating funds at this level:
– Look at ways to engage the newer parent population, including:
• Market OPSA (Oriole Park School Association) to new families and old for involvement;
perhaps change the name to OPPA (Oriole Park Parent Association) so that parents feel
that they are stakeholders in this group
• Solicit future Mayfair committee members and volunteers (including a Convenor
position/shadow) between September and January ; evaluate commitment in January to
determine if Mayfair happens. Mayfair planning starts mid-January.
– Communicate that Mayfair is 100% volunteer driven
• Oriole Park families are not “guests”; the fair doesn’t happen if the parents don’t
volunteer
• Have a smaller fair (i.e. reduce rides/games; still requires volunteer
commitment)
• Outsource events (less fundraising; focus on fun for kids)
• Hold Silent Auction as a separate event
