It is with excitement and anticipation that we look forward to the final month of the current school year. There are so many reasons to embrace this time of the year: E.Q.A.O. is here, our Grade Eights are off to experience Quebec, and there are events and activities in which to delight and celebrate. The Track and Field meet is scheduled, as are our tours for new students coming to HCPS in the next school year, and before long our Grade Seven students will be heading to Niagara Falls. Now we look forward to our culminating event of the season - Grade 8 Graduation On Monday, June 26th, 2017. To all of our students: we would like to remind you that it is important to stay focused, to dress appropriately, to keep hydrated, and to protect yourselves from the sun. During these warm and busy days, we need to remember that this is the sprint to the finish line, so let's put forth our best efforts!

As many of you know our school has continued to grow in size this year and as a result we have been scheduled for an additional half-time Vice-Principal to join Mr. McCann and I in the office. I am happy to announce that Mrs. J. Cournoyer-White will be returning to Herb Campbell P.S.. We look forward to hearing increased French throughout the school and welcome her contributions to the administrative team as she joins us in the office.

As we end the school year, I would like to personally thank all of the volunteers who have given so generously of their time –whether working with students, helping with

our lunch programs, or being a part of Community School and/or School Council. At this time we would like to thank Chairperson, Mrs. C. Butchart for her involvement and leadership with our School Council. She has served this community and school well and provided great support to the staff and administration of Herb Campbell Public School. This school is so fortunate to have such dedicated people contributing to the learning community. The leadership of Mrs. K. Noble for the Community Link has been invaluable as Chairperson of our Community Link. Under Mrs. Noble’s leadership, the Community Link has raised money that goes directly into providing materials, resources and activities directly to the students at this school. This group is also the one that provides lunches and food on a regular basis, while following all the limitations and operating procedures provided by the PDSB.

To our parents, thank you for encouraging your children to be responsible and asking them to focus on their studies, to complete their homework, and to get their agendas signed or check class websites. The school year ends on June 29th and until that date, we still maintain our high expectations and follow the Code of Conduct - in classrooms, hallways, in the yard, and on the buses. Your support and encouragement is important at this time of the year, when thoughts of Summer might lessen our children’s motivation to pursue success.

Thank you et Merci,.

Sincerely, Mrs. T. Middlebrook Principal

As the summer approaches, we rid ourselves of the layers of warm clothing we have been wearing. Our School Code of Conduct includes expectations around appropriate attire, and we expect students to adhere to the following guidelines as they dress for warmer weather:

We wear attire that demonstrates respect for ourselves and others.

Clothing must fit appropriately and not risk being revealing.

Only clothing that reflects positive images/languages is to be worn.

Clothing should promote a positive image and help our students "dress for success".

During the month of June, we will be focusing on the character trait of what it means to be responsible. Be sure to join us as we recognize our students’ efforts at our LAST monthly CLAW Assembly for ‘Responsible’ and Canada Day Celebration ‘Red & White Day’ on June 29th. Hope to see you there!

If you have a school-age child, finding summer child care can be a real challenge. But you can follow these three simple steps to help you choose a program that’s best for your family. It will mean a summer full of fun and learning for your child—and peace of mind for you.

Step 1: Call Child Care Info Peel 905-890-9432 or 1-888-836-5550 Child care experts provide specific information about summer camps and other child care providers in your neighbourhood. They can answer your questions and give you information to help you choose the program that’s right for your family. It’s a good idea to call the info line early to give yourself enough time to investigate potential programs and make your decision before the program fills up.

Step 2: Schedule an appointment to meet with the program director or to speak over the phone, so that you can get more information about the program. If possible, visit the program or the facility in which it will be held. The more information you have, the better you will be able to decide if this program is a good "fit" for your child and your family.

Step 3: When you are checking out summer programs, don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions—it’s the best way to make sure you have all the information you need. In general, you will want to ask questions about the program, staff, health and safety practices, food provided, and costs.

For more information, call Child Care Info Peel or visit www.cdrcp.com/ccip.html

Here are some tips you can review with your child to ensure bike season gets off to a great start: The right fit!

children should be able to straddle the bike with both feet on the ground

a bike that is too big or too small can be a safety hazard

the helmet should fit—if it's too loose, it could fall off, if it's too tight, it's uncomfortable

Get noticed!

a young child's bike should be equipped with a bell and reflector

older riders should have a light and/or reflectors

Follow the rules!

no riding on busy streets

no riding at night

stop for all STOP signs

Actions that cause injuries!

driveway ride out—not stopping and looking both ways before entering the street

running the stop sign

turning without warning

cycling in the dark

following the leader—one child goes through a stop sign or misses a parked car but the second cyclist doesn't

Excessive exposure to the sun can

lead to health concerns such as sunburn and skin cancer. As summer approaches and the weather gets warmer, it is necessary to apply sunscreen to protect ourselves from too much sun damage and burns. In summer, we are exposed to higher levels of ultraviolet (UV) rays. This exposure is a risk factor for developing skin cancer and cataracts later in life. The UV index is the measure commonly used in Canada to assess the strength of the sun’s UV rays risk on a given day. What is the UV Index? The index scale ranges from 0 to 10. The higher the value, the more intense ultraviolet rays. The UV index is calculated daily by Environment Canada using ozone and weather information. It can vary from day to day with changes in the ozone layer – the thinner the ozone layer, the higher the index reading. How to protect your family from the sun?

Wear a hat (preferably with a broad brim), sunglasses and protective clothing on sunny days.

Use sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or greater whenever you're outdoors.

Encourage your children to play in shady areas if they are outside for a long period of time.

Remember that sunburn can occur even on a cloudy day, as up to 80 per cent of UV rays can penetrate light clouds, and 40 per cent of UV rays can bounce back from sand, water or concrete.

Visit YouTube.com and search ‘Welcome to ParentConnect.’ Summer Activities that Boost Learning

Kindergarten to Grade 4:

Sorting and stacking – Teach classification skills with dinnerware. Ask your child to match and stack dishes of similar sizes and shapes. Also have your child sort flatware – forks with forks, spoons with spoons. This is like recognizing the shapes of letters and numbers. Comic strip writing – Use comic strips to help with writing. Cut the segments of a comic strip apart and ask your child to arrange them in order. Then ask your child to fill in the words of the characters (orally or in writing). Float and sink – Encourage hypothesizing (guessing). Use several objects – soap, a dry sock, a bottle of shampoo, a wet sponge, an empty bottle. Ask your child which objects will float when dropped into water in a sink or bathtub. Then drop the objects in the water, one by one, to see what happens.

http://herbcampbell.peelschools.org / https://twitter.com/HerbCampbell_PS

Trustee: Stan Cameron

Grades 5 to 8: Follow the news – As a family, choose an important news event to follow for a day or two. Ask each person to find as much information on the topic as possible – read newspapers, look at online news webpages, listen to the radio and watch TV news. Then talk about what everyone learned. Pros and Cons: What do you think? – Make a family game of discussing a special issue. For example, "Teenagers should be allowed to vote," or "There should never be any homework." Ask your children to think of all the reasons they can to support their views. Then ask them to think of reasons opposing their views. Which views are most convincing? For variety, assign family members to teams and have them prepare their arguments pro and con. Stretch, run, walk – Ask your child to do at least one kind of exercise every day. For example, run or walk briskly for 10 minutes. Walk, when possible, instead of driving, for any distance less than a mile. Have your child make a week-long exercise plan. Try to think of a modest reward for sticking to the plan and exercise with your child. Let your voice be heard – Promote good citizenship. Help your child write a letter to the editor of the local newspaper about an issue affecting children – for example, suggest that a bike path be built near the school or that a city event be planned for youngsters. Children are citizens, and their ideas are worth hearing.

The safety of our students is our top priority! Throughout the school year, incidents in our school communities happen. Our staff take precautions to emphasize street-proofing skills with your child. However, we feel that it is important

that you take an opportunity to review safety procedures with your child. Peel Police have provided the following safety guidelines if your child encounters a stranger:

Tell your children to never go anywhere with a stranger, not to talk to strangers and never take anything from them. You also have to teach them what a "safe stranger" is in case they need help. A safe stranger includes a police officer, a cashier, a fire fighter, etc.

Remind your child to never walk alone—always walk with a group.

Develop a "what if" game for the kids to get them thinking of how they would respond if they felt threatened or afraid.

Know who your children play with and where they go. This includes keeping a list of their friend's addresses and phone numbers.

Remind your children not to take short cuts through parks, ravines, or other secluded areas.

Your child's body is private. Tell your child that no one may touch the area their bathing suit covers. If someone does or tries to touch them, they should advise you immediately.

Teach your children to talk to you immediately when someone does anything that makes them feel strange or uncomfortable. Listen when your children are trying to tell you about something that bothers them and provide them with support and understanding.

Tips for riding the bus:

Take a seat as quickly as possible, put belongings under the seat and stay seated.

Never stick anything out of the window, including part of your body.

http://herbcampbell.peelschools.org / https://twitter.com/HerbCampbell_PS

Trustee: Stan Cameron

Refrain from eating on the bus. If a choking incident occurs, the driver may not be able to help immediately.

Wait until the school bus stops before standing up to exit the vehicle.

Tips for exiting the bus:

When getting off the bus, take two large steps away from bus. If you have to walk in front of the bus, do so at least three metres (10 giant steps) away from the bus.

The driver must be able to see students exiting the bus and will give a signal when it is safe to cross. If more than one student is crossing in front of the bus at the same time, they should cross in single file.

Children must never reach for something that is under the bus without the driver’s permission. Let the driver know that something is under the bus or wait until the bus moves out of the way.

Tips for walking to school: Help your child establish a safe, direct

route to school. Avoid potential safety hazards such as train tracks, busy intersections, and reinforce what safety precautions to follow.

Stay on sidewalks whenever possible. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the road and walk facing traffic.

Cross streets at intersections and at crosswalks and learn to look to the left, the right, and the left again before proceeding.

Wait until traffic comes to a stop before crossing. Make sure drivers see you before you cross. Don't assume the driver will stop for you.

Parents of Peel students or staff should contact their school principal or site supervisor in early September (or as early in the school year as possible) to submit a religious accommodation request. What religious accommodation can be requested?

Herb Campbell Community Garden News!

Great news! Since February, we have been raising salmon from eggs. They are now ready to be released into the river. Bon voyage! The Painted Ladies butterflies are healthy and

safe with the Kindergarten students and will be introduced to our butterfly garden in the next couple of weeks. Grade 3 and Kindergarten students have been busy planting the 3 sisters vegetables indoors and have now planted them outside!

This year, we are planting in reused car tires to try and help plants stay free of weeds. The Kindergarten students have also planted giant Atlantic pumpkin seeds indoors and are preparing an area in the garden to plant these outdoors in the next few weeks. The seeds

were donated by Herb Campbell's grand-daughter who visited us last year! Hopefully you get a chance to taste our strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries...and the rhubarb has been harvested and eaten! Yum! Yum!

*We need volunteers!* Please visit our HC Community Garden Blog and have a look at the Summer Maintenance Calendar for July and August. If there are dates that are still empty on the calendar (available) and you would like to help out with weeding and watering vegetable plants, be sure to email us P0073868@pdsb.org and we will add your family to the calendar.

INFORMATION FOR PDSB PARENTS REGARDING SCHOOL

START UP TRANSPORTATION PROCEDURES FOR SEPTEMBER 2017

• If your home address will be changing during the summer, please notify the office staff at your child’s school prior to

June 30. Late requests will not be reflected in the planned bus routes to commence in September and may result in

transportation services not being available for your child during the first weeks of school. Parents will be responsible

for their children getting to and from school until appropriate transportation service is arranged.

The distance criteria for transportation eligibility is:

1.0 kilometer Kindergarten and Grade 1 1.6 kilometers for Grades 2 – 4 2.0 kilometers for Grades 5 – 8 3.8 kilometers for Grades 9 – 12

If your child is moving to grade 2, grade 5, grade 7 or grade 9 in the 2017-2018 school year, their eligibility status for

transportation may be changing. Eligibility information can be accessed at the website noted below.

Parents who received letters in April and May of this year indicating that the transportation eligibility status for their

children is being revised due to eligibility reassessment are reminded that this change will occur effective September 5,

2017.

• All transported kindergarten and grade 1 students are required to be met by a parent/caregiver when disembarking

from their bus on their return trip from school.

• Courtesy transportation, which is assignment of ineligible students to available, empty seats on buses, will not be

initiated prior to October 2. No exceptions.

• Please be aware that during September and early October, STOPR priorities are eligible students requiring

transportation service, bus overloads, and route timing adjustments.

• Requests for additional or adjusted bus stop locations, route adjustments, and challenges to eligibility status will not

be addressed until late October.

• Please be patient. STOPR provides transportation services for approximately 65,000 students to 350 schools on 1,400

buses. This is accomplished with an operations staff of 15. Every effort is made to complete required adjustments as

quickly as possible, but there are limitations to the volume of changes which can be appropriately communicated and

implemented each week.

• All transportation operations issues are the responsibility of STOPR and not either Board or individual Trustees.
