Thank you again for coming at our meeting yesterday. Many of you attended our first school council meeting, and we got the opportunity to share many interesting ideas and projects. It was really good to see you all.

Free snacks will be served, and babysitting provided.
Please find below a summary of the meeting. If you have questions or comments, please send us and email.
1. Principal Report:
- Mrs. AB gave us a status update on what happened in the school during the summer. Many repairs were done to the building (parking lot, fence, paint, etc.)
- The green club is a huge success, the school won a gold award, and many new students joined the club this year.
- There will be a yard cleaning event on Thursday Sept. 21. All volunteers are welcome to help cleaning the yard. Details to come via cinervoice email.
- It is very important to respect the rules of the school for pick ups and drop offs.
2. Elections:
- Elections took place and Heather was voted as secretary. Sarah and Natacha were voted as co-chairs.
- There is always room for more parents to help, if you want to join us, send us an email. If you don't want to have an official role, coming to our monthly meeting is a great way to help the community.
3. Communicaiton between the school and the families:
- It is the responsibility of each teacher to communicate to the families of their classroom about the child's education. Each teacher will do that in their own way. The agenda is a standardized way of communication throughout the school, but some teachers have also a blog, other use newsletter, etc.
- For the communication about the school in general, cinnervoice email will be used by the principal. If the school doesn't have your email address, please call the office (613-235-0340) to make sure they do.
- As per the school council, we will use this blog and our monthly meetings. We are also available via email.
4. Breakfast Club
- The breakfast club is free and available to all students. It starts at 8am and it is a great opportunity for your kids to see their friends and make sure they eat a healthy breakfast. Please used the front door on Booth St. to access the school and drop your kids to the program.
5. School Cash Online - https://ocsb.schoolcashonline.com/
- We strongly encourage all parents to register to school cash online. It allows you to pay for your child's various fees (milk, pizza, activities, etc) directly online with a credit or debit card. This will reduce the amount of money that is sent to the school, which creates a lot of extra work. If you experience any issues or have any questions about registering to school cash online, please call Karine at 613-235-0340.
6. NAC
- We are organizing a great event to be able to bring the students to the NAC. Details to come, but we are very excited about that. More discussion to come in the October meeting.
7. Next Event : Halloween Party (October 26 at 4:00pm)
- Our next event is our annual Halloween Party. It will take place on Thursday, October 26 from 4pm to 6pm. Kids must be accompanied by a parent to attend. They are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes. We are looking for volunteers for the following: decorating before the event, clean-up after the event, bake a cake). We also brainstormed ideas of activities to do during the event (music, face painting, birthday celebration, pumpkin decoration, etc.) More details to be discussed at the October meeting.
