What a wonderful and busy week we had at CR! It was great to see so many families join us on Wednesday for Curriculum Night. Thank you for taking the time to connect with our staff, learn more about what your children are working on, and be part of our school community. Throughout the week, our students had many exciting opportunities to learn and grow beyond the classroom, including our vision clinic, the Grade 8 trip to WCI, the Grade 7 trip to the zoo, and our cross-country meet. It was fantastic to see our students embracing these experiences, trying new things, and representing our school with enthusiasm and pride. We are so proud of all that our students continue to accomplish and grateful for the support of our wonderful school community. What a great week to celebrate! Please see below for the information we would like to share with families this week.
📋 Student Information Verification Forms
We are sending home student information verification forms with all students. We have noticed over the past month that we have a number of guardian contact numbers and emails are incorrect in the system. Please return the form with any corrections on it so that we can update the information in our system and have proper contact information in case of emergencies.

Washroom Breaks
Washroom breaks are a human need, so students are generally allowed to go to the washroom when requested. However, there has been an increase in inappropriate behaviors during washroom use. To address this, CR has implemented several strategies, such as issuing washroom passes, requiring students to sign out when leaving, and allowing only one student at a time to use the washroom. Despite these measures, we have encountered challenges, where students have been vandalizing the washrooms, defecating on the floor and intentionally plugging toilets.
This is a significant concern for CR. As we work on a plan to address these issues, we would appreciate your support in discussing community sharing and personal responsibility with your children.
