surrounding areas. A lot of authentic learning has taken

place. Follow us @MasseyStreet_PS to view our photos.

Get involved in your child’s education Research shows parent involvement positively affects student success. Becoming more

involved brings many benefits. You will get to know teachers, the principal and other par-

ents better. You will be able to share your talents, experiences and ideas. You will inspire

youth—and be inspired by them. You will show your child how much you value educa-

tion. You will gain insights that can help you to boost your child's learning. And you could

develop skills and knowledge that can help you in

your own career.

There are many ways to be involved. Attend-

ing the Peel District School

Board's annual parent confer-

ence on Saturday, April 1, 2016, volunteering at your child's school, talking to your

teen about their school day and reading with your

child at night are all forms of parent involvement.

Visit www.peelschools.org/parents/involved to

Physical Education Success Criteria for being a Phys-Ed STAR

Staying on task, staying safe, wearing proper running shoes

I will listen and learn from others around me

I will be able to explain and demonstrate my learning

I will make good, safe behaviour choices for me, others, and with the PE equipment

I will wear appropriate clothing and proper running shoes each class (no jewelry and long

hair tied back)

Trying my best

I will take responsibility for my choices and think about best strategies to be successful

I will try my best to participate and learn new things (even if it’s challenging sometimes)

Actively participating

I will assess my level of participation by using self-assessment methods (achieving personal

goals, Rate of Perceived Exertion) and by working within my Target HR Zone of my HR Max to

demonstrate my physical activity intensity

I will work towards achieving success in the target behaviour or skill

Respecting others, equipment, and the rules

I will share space and PE equipment with others courteously

I will treat others how I expect to be treated… with respect

I will follow instructions and rules (the first time)

Sportsmanship

I will demonstrate good sportsmanship

I will encourage and motivate my fellow classmates with praise and positive language

I will play fair and accept the outcome of the game

I deserve to have fun and be safe during PE, and I will tell my teacher if it stops being fun or

unsafe. I understand that if I do not follow instructions, rules, and choose safe behaviour

choices, I will be asked to sit out and a note will go home to parents.

Regional Learning Choices Programs offered by the Peel District School Board empower students by providing them with opportunities to develop and explore skills in a particular area of interest. Re-gional programs are open to all students who meet the criteria for acceptance. Students and their families are encouraged to attend the information night for the program of their choice to receive more information about the program and application details. Transportation is not provided for students in regional programs. If students have been accepted into a regional program and they live within the school boundary, they are eligible for busing only if they meet the distance criteria outlined in the board’s Transportation Policy #39. All regional programs include annual fees, including an $40 application fee for all regional programs. The application process for secondary regional programs opens Nov. 9, 2016. Application dates for middle school programs vary from school to school.
