Online Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) process for Volunteers:

Toronto Police Service has moved online for Vulnerable Sector Checks (VSC).  Attached, please find the instructions on how to complete the online VSC forms for volunteering at Brock.  

TDSB has been given a unique code that applicants will be required to use:

The code is 202309TPSOND7EFC

The new web link for online application is https://www.tps.ca/services/police-record-checks/     

Please note it may take a few weeks for Toronto Police to complete the checks. You must have a VSC to volunteer in school in any capacity. Once the initial check is completed, a yearly offence declaration is required.

School Community IT Support is a great resource for questions about your child's Chromebook, passwords, and anything else IT related.

1:1 Student Device Program info for grades 7 to 8 has important information about these devices. Please note the program has been paused and no new devices will be issued. The cost of lost devices and repairs not covered under warranty will likely need to be paid by families.

Students in grade 5 and above can use Self Service Password Reset if passwords are forgotten.

This year you must complete all permission forms online i.e trip forms, athletic forms.  To do this you must navigate to the "Excursion Management Application" page, create an account and then login.  Here is the link:  https://parent.ema.tdsb.on.ca/ 

Once you are logged in you should be able to find all of your permission forms in the drop down menus.  

Please see the attached information sheets included here. EMA Parent_Guardian Account Creation & Login Reference Guide.pdf

You will be informed when there are forms to be filled out by the school so be sure to listen closely and check emails/backpacks.

School Cash Online allows you to pay for a variety of events and items (field trips, pizza days, spirit wear, etc.) during the school year. Please consider using this quick and easy form of payment by reading the parent info letter and instructions to sign up. If you have any questions, please contact the office. 

Please note important safety policies at Brock.

• Students should enter the school with their classes at 8:45 a.m. from the schoolyard. Supervision starts at 8:35 a.m. Please do not drop students off earlier (daycare drop off is located by the gym entrance). Families are asked to drop off students and exit the yard immediately to avoid congestion.
• Pick up must be done in the school yard. Students are supervised by staff until 3:35 p.m. only. Kindly exit school property as soon as possible to avoid crowding the area.
• The parking lot is for TDSB and Early Learning staff only. Cars parked between 7:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. without TDSB permits will be ticketed and subject to towing. Pass this message on to neighbours who park overnight.
• Students are urged to come to school on time so as not to miss valuable learning time.

We thank you for your cooperation and adherence to these policies to ensure a safe school environment.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind students and parents how to be safe both at home and in the community. It is important that students have the knowledge and skills to keep themselves out of harm's way.

Families, please review the following Streetproofing Tips for Elementary (K-6) and Streetproofing Tips for Intermediates (Grade 7-8) with your children. 

Let's work together to keep our community safe.

We are proud of the schoolyard we have and the green space it provides for our school community. To help keep the playground as clean and safe as possible, we would like to remind you of our school safety rules.    

Students are expected to:

• Stay on the playground during school hours and not go to the parking lot or the street
• Play cooperatively with others
• Not engage in physically aggressive behaviour
• If hurt, go to the teacher on duty who will assist them with a band-aid or have them go to the office
• Not climb the baseball diamond fixture or the stairs belonging to the childcare play area
• There is to be no scooting or cycling on school property during school hours 

Parents are asked to:

• Call the office if they have a concern regarding behaviour to their child on the playground. Parents are asked not to pursue or question other students and/or parents.
• Should you walk your child to school and bring your dog along there are 2 options:

1. Please tie your dog with a leash to the north fence or the fence on Brock Avenue and then walk your child on to the school premises.
   
   OR
    
2. Walk your child to the north school entrance, say your good-byes there, and watch them get into the playground safely. Then you can give them a good-bye wave.

DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED BY THE CITY OR TDSB ON SCHOOL PROPERTY (LEASHED OR CARRIED) AS LONG AS THE SCHOOL IS OPEN FOR LEARNING (8:35 a.m. to 3:35 p.m.)

For the privacy and safety of our students, parents are asked not to take pictures or videos of students on the playground and report to the office any person seen doing so.

By following the above we can make sure our children are safe. Thank you for helping to keep our playground a safe and welcoming place for our students.

We are proud to share with you our school song, "Brock Rocks!" 

It was created by students with the help of our late and much loved former music teacher, Mr. Doug Queen in 2012.
Lyrics are below.
