Did you get multiple emails from us yesterday?
November 8, 2011 — tgoldbergWe apologize for this and want to let you know we have addressed the problem. We’re not quite sure what happened but suspect it may have had something to do with the link between our old Posterous site and our new WordPress site. We have deleted the old Posterous site to cure this. All news will now be posted only on the WordPress site. Unfortunately the blog has been challenging this year but we hope we have now established a good method of communication between parents, students and the school.

CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING
October 7, 2011 — parentcWe are expecting a great day at our North cross country running championships on Wednesday October 12th at Earl Bales Park.
We are anticipating many parents and grandparents attending to watch their children in the races. There is a large concern around available parking. At this past Wednesdays meet, parking was not a big issue but on Thursday there were too many cars trying to get into the park and there were not enough spots available to park in causing cars to park illegally on the park roadways.
The organizers need to keep at least 20 spots open by the community center for park staff to use. The center also has programs during the day for senior citizens and an Ontario Early Years center that requires parking. School buses also need room to turn and in some cases park for the day. We do hire security guards to assist with parking but their powers are limited.
If the parking is not improved upon, there is a chance that the TDSB will not be granted a permit for next year. There is a need for cars to have room to travel in both directions and clearance for emergency vehicles.
Meet organizers are asking all schools to please informparents that parking will be limited and that any illegally parked cars will be tagged and/or towed.
A suggestion may be to take the TTC or to park on side streets around the park.
Unfortunately, we have been told that there will be zero tolerance for illegally parked cars.
Thank you for your understanding.
