Weekly Bulletin, September 29

Posted on by LKSPC

In this week’s Bulletin, you will find information on:

Crossing Guard Issues – Email to provide feedback

We have noted several safety issues with the current crossing guards. As this responsibility transitions away from the TDSB, the new provider has contracted this out to a security company. Many of us have expressed concerns about the job they are doing. If you are interested in supporting the call to action to provide feedback on the lack of effectiveness of the current crossing guards at our school, please email the following with a CC to the Landy at the second email address:

SchoolCrossingGuard@toronto.ca

Landy.Cheung@toronto.ca

Police Check Reminder

If you filled out the form for Police checks, the form will be sent to your house and you must bring that to the school office.   The TDSB requires that they have the original. Zofia Stefanowicz in the school office will make a copy for you and send the original to the board.   If the original is not sent to the board you will not be able to volunteer at the school.   So please bring the cleared (will say on the top right-hand corner) to the office.
