Dear Parents/Guardians,
At approximately 11:15am, the staff smelled an odour at our school and we had staff and students promptly exit the building. Toronto Fire Services and Enbridge were called and arrived on the scene.
We remained outside until insert 12:45pm, at which time we were advised by the Fire Department that students and staff could return to the school. We will now continue with our academic school day.
Our cafeteria staff stayed on site, for an extra 50 minutes to allow students to purchase meals, after we were given the all clear to come back into the building.
As you know, the safety of our students is a top priority at our school and we followed appropriate TDSB policies to ensure the safety and well-being of our students. We practice various drills and procedures hoping never to have to use them, but always prepared to do so if necessary.
The response and cooperation from our students and teachers was exceptional and we want to commend them for their efforts. Staff calmly lead students out of the school in an orderly way and ensured that everyone was accounted for.
We also want to thank Toronto Fire for their actions and the TDSB’s staff for their role.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 416-395-3090.
Sincerely,
Jessica Feldberg Ryan Heritage
Principal Vice Principal
