Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s): As the new school year begins, the staff at St. Jane Frances joins me in welcoming back all those children returning to our school and we extend a sincere welcome to all those new to our school family. We look forward to working with you and your children throughout this academic year with renewed enthusiasm and great expectations. Our main objective at St. Jane Frances is to continue to foster a strong partnership of home, school and parish. It is only by working as a team with your support and co-operation that we are able to accomplish the aims and objectives we set out for your children. We strongly encourage parents to call us whenever you feel it necessary to discuss matters concerning your child. This year is indeed a very special year for St. Jane Frances Catholic School and Community. St. Jane Frances will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary. This is a milestone for our school and will be commemorated throughout the year. More information will follow about the celebration that will take place in the Spring. We are also entering the Year of Charity, the third year in the board’s 3-year pastoral plan focusing on Faith, Hope and Charity. A Special Welcome back to the following staff, Ms. Pietka (Gr. 2), Ms. Pantaleo (Gr. 5), Ms. Apaza (French), Ms. Raposo (Gr.3), Ms. Gates (Gr. 6) and Ms. Kramer (Library Technician).

Ed.), Ms. Orestano (Early Childhood Education Teacher), Ms. Iozzo (Early Childhood Education Teacher), Ms. Tortola (Early Childhood Education Teacher) and Mr. Pereira (Head Custodian).

Thank you to Mr. Pereira, our Head Caretaker, and his staff for their hard work over the summer to help prepare our school for this new year! Thank you to all! Safe schools and discipline also continue to be priorities. These themes will be emphasized throughout the weeks and months to come. Please take the time to go over appropriate behaviour with your children, including the expectation that all students must arrive on time and dressed in our school’s appropriate dress code or uniform. This is particularly important in regards to our start time of 8:30 am. Teachers will begin their teaching promptly at 8:35 am.

HOSPITALITY

Pope John Paul II

SCHOOL SAFETY PROCEDURES AND

VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL

To help eliminate trespassers, reduce the traffic existing in

the corridors at entry and dismissal times and prevent the

unnecessary interruptions to the teaching/learning process

your child receives each day, we need your support and

co-operation in adhering to the following procedures: 1. All visitors and parents/guardians are to report to the

office.

2. Students are to be picked up and dropped off in the

playground.

3. If you are dropping off your child after the start of the

school day, please come to the office and report to the

secretary.

4. Students are NOT permitted to leave the school

grounds for any reason unless they bring a written,

signed and dated permission note from his/her parent,

or unless a parent/guardian comes to take the child out

of the school. If you are picking up your child before

dismissal (ie. for an appointment), please report to the

office and wait for your child in the lobby.

5. If someone other than a parent or the usual caregiver

for your child is picking up your child, please advise

your child’s teacher or the office through a phone call

or a note.

6. If you are dropping off a lunch or other items during

school hours, please leave them at the office.

7. If you have an appointment with a teacher or you

would like to make an appointment, please report to

the office and our secretary will make the necessary

arrangements.

Morning Session 8:30am – 11:15am (JK/SK – Gr.8)

Morning Recess: 10:12am – 10:27am (NEW TIME)

SAFE ARRIVAL PROGRAM - STUDENT ILLNESS

OR ABSENTEEISM

If your child is to be absent from school for any

reason, please telephone the school (416-393-5296) to inform

the secretary as early as possible on the first day of the child’s

absence. (We also have a voicemail box for your convenience to

call at any time to leave a message.) This will reassure the school

that your child is safe. If a child is absent, then we will call home

if we have not been notified. Please ensure we have updated

home, business and emergency phone numbers. When a student

returns to school after an absence, he or she must bring a signed and

dated parental or medical note to explain the reason.

If your child has to leave during the day for an appointment,

please send a signed and dated note requesting his/her dismissal

and the time. For safety reasons, we strongly recommend that

younger children not be allowed to go home on their own and

should be picked up by an adult.

If children are not feeling well, please give them an opportunity to

recuperate at home. It is assumed that if children are well enough

to be at school, they are also well enough to take part in recess.

Children need time to get some fresh air and stretch their muscles.

If they are dressed properly, they will be able to do this in

comfort, even on our cold Canadian winter days.

STUDENT DATA INFORMATION

In order that we may keep our student data updated, we ask that

you complete the “HEALTH INFORMATION SURVEY

FORM”, “INFORMATION SHEET & PERMISSION

FORM”, “SAFE DISMISSAL FORM” and “INTERNET

SAFETY FORM” sent home earlier and return them to school

with your child no later than Monday, September 22, 2014..

Your co-operation is appreciated.

Student Accident Insurance forms have also been disturbed to

the student. Parents should send money directly to the company

(NOT TO THE SCHOOL) if this insurance is desired. The

insurance is inexpensive and strongly recommended

SCHOOL BUSES

Please note that if your child is registered to ride the school bus,

he or she must ride the school bus and not take the liberty to

walk home on any given day. Any necessary changes to your

child’s transportation to and from the school must be

accompanied by a signed and dated parental note. Students who

are registered to ride the school bus but consistently choose not

to, will end up forfeiting this privilege.

Please also be reminded that students can only ride the school

bus if they have returned the permission form, (Safety Dismissal

Form) signed by parents/guardians, granting permission to do

so. We cannot allow students to ride the bus if this form has not

been returned. Please feel free to contact the school if you

require further information.

KISS AND RIDE DROP-OFF/PARKING LOT

We strongly encourage parents to drop off their children at the

Kiss & Ride Drop-Off Area on Spenvalley Drive and NOT

drive into the school parking lot. The school parking lot is very

congested and dangerous for the children. In emergency

situations if parents need to use the parking lot, we remind you

to use extreme caution. Children must not go into the parking

lot area without an adult. Parents are reminded to hold their

child(ren)’s hand while walking through the parking lot. Parents

please help us keep the school environment safe. We need your

support!

PLEASE DO NOT PARK YOUR VEHICLE IN THE

KISS & RIDE DROP-OFF AREA. PLEASE DO NOT

PARK YOUR VEHICLE AT THE FRONT OF THE

SCHOOL ON JANE STREET IN THE EMERGENCY

FIRE ROUTE OR STAFF PARKING LOT.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT PARKING

ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WILL BE

PATROLLING OUR SCHOOL

COMMUNITY. AVOID RECEIVING AN

EXPENSIVE $250.00 PARKING TICKET.

DO NOT PARK IN THE ABOVE

MENTIONED AREAS!

When picking up students at the end of the day, please

park in other areas such as Church Parking Lot.

Emergency Fire Routes on Jane Street and Spenvalley

Drive are strictly reserved for school busses only! Let’s

work together to keep our children safe.

EXCURSIONS All pupils must give a signed parental consent form to

their teacher before going on an excursion. Excursions

are a valuable part of the school program. Each child

should make every effort to participate.

LUNCHTIME RULES AND NUTRITIONAL

PROGRAMS

To ensure student safety, children will be asked to eat lunch at

school. To avoid classroom disruptions, please send your

children to school in the morning with a packed lunch. Lunch

time begins at 11:15 AM until 12:15. Please note that this is a

new time, set by the Board. At 11:55 AM students will be sent

out to the playground (weather permitting). Students will not be

permitted to leave school property to purchase a lunch at a

neighborhood food establishment unless they are picked up,

signed out, and accompanied by a responsible adult known to

the child. The responsible adult must have previous written

consent from the parent, a record of which must be on file in the

school office. For health and safety reasons, students will not be

permitted to eat lunch in the schoolyard, as this attracts unwanted

seagulls and other creatures. Thank you for your support.

Please ensure that your child brings a lunch to school every day.

We ask that lunches not be brought to school for the students. For

those odd times when students do forget their lunches, we ask that

lunches brought in be clearly marked and left on the lunch table

inside the main office by 11:15 AM. Students can pick up their

lunches during the lunch period. Parents/Guardians will not be

permitted to drop off lunches in the classrooms, nor will students be

permitted to pick up their lunches during class time. This is to

minimize disruption during important instructional time in the

classroom.

The Lunch Period Schedule is as follows and supervision has been

arranged accordingly: 11:15 AM to 11:35 AM – All Grades eat lunch

11:35 AM to 12:15 PM – All Grades have recess

While they have not begun as of yet, St. Jane Frances Catholic School

offers a Nutritional Snack program for our students. This will begin in

October. Snack order forms will be sent home.

ANAPHYLAXIS ALERT

Allergen-Aware and

Scent-Sensitive Environment

Please take special note that we have children in our school who

have a very serious, life-threatening allergy to tree nuts,

peanuts, all nut/peanut products, all seafood products, called

Anaphylaxis. We are notifying all parents that students should

not bring any nuts, peanuts, peanut butter or any food

containing nuts or peanut products such as peanut oil, etc., as

well as any seafood products. We ask that you DO NOT bring

any personal baking or other treats to the school to share with

the class. This is important to ensure the safety and welfare of

these children.

Please also be aware that we are also a scent-sensitive school, as

there are members of our community who suffer severe reactions

to certain scents such as perfumes, hair products, lotions etc.

Please respect the need to refrain from using such products at the

school.

SIMPLIFY YOUR MORNING ROUTINE

As we begin a new school year, we need to think

about getting back on a morning schedule so our

children can get to school on time and on a regular

basis. Here are some suggestions to simplify your

morning routine.

1. PREPACK LUNCHES. Save time by

preparing lunches and snacks the night

before.

2. GET OUT THE DOOR FASTER. Have

your coffee maker prepared so all you have

to do is press the start button in the morning.

3. SPEEDY BREAKFAST

SOLUTIONS. Have a

line-up of several routine

breakfasts with a least

one being portable. You

may want to get into the

habit of setting the

breakfast table the night

before.

4. WHAT TO WEAR. Prepare what everyone

will be wearing the night before. Have your

children help pick their clothing to lessen

morning chaos.

5. TAKE TURNS. Coordinate bathroom

schedules with the people you live with.

6. BACKPACK PANIC. Get children into

the habit of emptying their backpacks as

soon as they get home from school. Pack

the backpacks at night and place them at the

front door to speed up the morning rush.

7. TIME YOURSELF. Set a time for task

completion such as time in the shower.

Better still; take your shower the night

before.

8. TRANSPORTATION. Ensure that

transportation is arranged the night before

school. This includes which bus route to

take, what route to take if walking or who

will be carpooling.

9. KEEP THE PEACE. Review your

family’s rules around morning routines and

expectations.

10. IGNORE MORNING CHORES. Instill a

family rule that indicates that there will be

no privileges (watching television, video

games, telephone privileges) until their

responsibilities (chores and homework) are

completed – stand firm.

It is understandable that not all mornings will run

smoothly, however being prepared and consistent

will help get your children to school on time and

regularly.

10 BEDTIME TIPS

As we begin a new school year, we need to think about

getting back on a sleep schedule to ensure that your

children are getting enough sleep to be rested and ready to

manage their academic challenges. Here are some

suggestions to simplify your bedtime routines.

1. Make sleep a family priority and part of your daily

schedule.

2. Recognize sleep problems in your child. Speak to

their teacher about any concerns.

3. Consistency and follow through are key ingredients

for success.

4. Teamwork. Think of your family as a team where

all members must work together for success.

5. Set a regular bedtime and wake time.

6. Routine. Help your children identify that it is time

for sleep and that a consistent nigh time pattern will

ensue. Example: bath, snack, brushing teeth,

bedtime story or independent reading and lights

out.

7. Dress and room temperature should be on the

cooler side to ensure good rest.

8. Transitional object. Allow your child to have a

favorite plush toy or blanket to help them have a

sense of security and control as they fall asleep.

9. Room and bed sharing. It is healthy for children to

sleep alone in their own beds. There are less sleep

disturbances and awakenings. Sleeping separately

is important to help a child separate without anxiety

and form his own identity.

10. One last thing. Provide all the hugs and kisses your

child needs before bed. Then stick to the rule that

once they are in bed, they must stay in bed for the

night.

Sweet Dreams.

SCHOOL UNIFORMS & DRESS CODE

Students of St. Jane Frances Catholic School are to dress

in the school’s appropriate dress code or uniform, which

consists of solid blue navy bottoms and solid collared

white or blue tops, more specifically: a navy blue pant,

kilt, or short; a white collared polo-shirt, oxford dress

shirt, or blouse, with or without a school crest; a navy

blue sweater or pullover, also with or without the school

crest; or vest.. Hoodies, t-shirts, and other articles of

clothing not listed above are absolutely not allowed.

Clothing can be purchased at your choice of a wide

variety of retail outlets in our community. A number of

stores sell navy and white clothing for school-aged

children, in response to the growing demand of such

items. Wal-Mart, The Gap, The Children’s Place and Old

Navy are some of the stores that sell navy and white

clothing that meets the requirements of the proposed dress

code. Please be aware that on special school activity

days students will be given the opportunity to wear

different clothes (Dress Down Day).

Please write your child’s name on all uniform items, as

many lost items are returned to the office.

It is essential that all students be in dress code from

the beginning as this sets the tone for the school year.

We wish to send a consistent message to all students

that the uniform will be strictly enforced. For older

students, please remind them that it is their

responsibility to ensure they come to school in dress

code and you may refer them to the student agenda.

HOMEWORK

The assignment of homework will vary according to

grade level, student achievement and teacher

expectations. All students are required to complete at

home any work that they did not finish in class. We

strongly encourage that parents motivate children to read

on a nightly basis. Activities, such as reading, playing,

outings, hobbies, games and family discussions provide

children with the foundation and background necessary to

facilitate learning in the classroom. Students should

review the day’s work to promote learning.

Following are suggested daily homework timelines:

Grade One – 5 to 10 min.

Grade Two – 10 to 20 min.

Grade Three – 20 to 30 min.

Grade Four – 30 to 40 min. Grade Eight – 70 to 80 min.

Grade Five – 40 to 50 min.

Grade Six – 50 to 60 min.

Grade Seven – 60 to 70 min.

Grade Eight – 70 to 80 min.

Homework is the responsibility of the students, and parents are

asked to provide a supportive environment in which to work.

Organizational and time management skills are learned in the

elementary grades. Agendas are necessary to help students

improve their organizational skills and to keep parents informed.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL

SCHOOL AGENDAS

All students from Grades One through to Grade Eight were given

a school agenda. We are looking forward to continue

implementing a successful school agenda for the 2014-2015

academic year.

Agendas are organizers/planners that help students understand

expectation, create timelines, set goals, monitor progress and

track their own success. The agendas are an effective learning

tool for teachers. We trust through co-operative efforts for all

concerned, we will be able to help students achieve their full

potential at St. Jane Frances Catholic School. The cost for each

agenda is $5.00 per student. PART OF THE COST FOR THE

AGENDAS WILL BE SUBSIDIZED BY OUR SCHOOL

COUNCIL THROUGH FUNDRAISING EVENTS. Please

send $5.00 to school with your child as soon as possible.

The first part of the agenda book contains important names, dates

and general information for parents and students. Please take

time to read and discuss this information with your child(ren).

Thank you for your co-operation and support.

HEPATITIS B AND MENINGITIS C

IMMUNIZATON

The Public Health Department will be carrying out a two

dose immunization program for the students in grade

affect the liver. Although this disease is sometimes very

mild and produces no symptons, it can also be very

serious. Immunization requires two injections over a six-

month period.

Please complete the Hepatitis B and Meningitis C

CASL Legislation Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL) would come into

force as of July 1, 2014. CASL impacts Board

Staff, and that of CSACs, to send out electronic

messages (CEMs) regarding activities which can be

defined as commercial, such as invitations to

purchase school photographs, spirit wear,

yearbooks, pizza days, special events and field

trips, etc., whether these messages are sent directly

(eg. via email, text message or social media notice)

or included indirectly in electronic publications

such as school e-newsletters.

Principals emailing newsletters which may contain

material of a commercial nature should note that

CASL requires that e-newsletters with a CEM

clearly contain school address, web or email

information, and an unsubscribe function. The

Communications, IT and Legal teams continue to

work on creating an automated system that ensures

the Board’s ongoing compliance with CASL with

regards to CEMs. Further updates will be

provided as they become available. - See more at:
