Please see the attached messages from Ottawa Public Health regarding immunizations for children born in 2007 and 2017. Letters were scheduled to be sent out to grade 2 and grade 12 students in the OCDSB yesterday so you should receive them soon. OPH is resuming issuing suspension letters this year once students are past the immunization date. Please reach out to OPH if you have any questions.

Safety around the school at bell times:
Keeping every one of our students safe on their journey to and from school everyday is a priority for everyone in our community. Prioritizing convenience, disobeying signage and poor road user habits have the potential to increase congestion and safety risks around the school.
We encourage all families to take a moment to watch this short School Zone Safety PSA created by our crossing guard provider – the Ottawa Safety Council (OSC) - and share it with others.
The video offers simple yet important tips for drivers, parents, students and pedestrians to help make school zones safer for everyone, including:
Reducing speed and staying alert in school zones.
Respecting crossing guards and marked crosswalks.
Avoiding distractions, especially while walking, driving or crossing the street.
Respecting the speed limits and no parking/stopping signs.
