Happy Friday, CR Families!
March started off with a flurry of activity and community spirit as we hosted several of our highly anticipated events. On March 4, our halls were filled with warmth and fellowship during the CR Iftar Celebration, where families and staff gathered to share a wonderful meal and meaningful conversation. That same day, our 6C and 6D classes embarked on an enriching journey through history and science during their field trip to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). We officially wrapped up the week’s festivities on Friday, March 6 with a highly successful Pizza Day, which is always a highlight for students and staff alike. Thank you to everyone who helped make these moments so memorable! Please see below for the information we would like to share with families.
School Safety
This week, we had a situation between students that we would like to address with our school community. At our school, we are committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all students. Fighting, encouraging others to fight, or recording and sharing incidents on personal devices are not acceptable and go against the TDSB’s Code of Conduct, our school’s Code of Conduct, and our cell phone policy. We ask families to please speak with their children about making positive choices, seeking help from a trusted adult when conflicts arise, and using technology responsibly. We would also like to remind students and families that walking along the railway tracks on the way home is unsafe and not permitted. Please encourage your child to use safe, designated routes when travelling to and from school. By working together, we can continue to build a caring and respectful school community.
Message from Toronto Public Health about Immunization Requirements
This message is to inform you that Toronto Public Health (TPH) has updated its Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) program for the 2025–2026 school year.
As part of these updates, ISPA suspensions are paused for the remainder of this school year. Students will not be suspended under the ISPA during the current school year. This means your students will not be suspended for ISPA for the remainder of the year. ISPA requirements remain in place. TPH will focus on helping families report immunization records and supporting students to get up to date.
For additional details, please refer to the linked letter for Parents.
