| Construction Update | http://cam.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/341 | Construction Update | <p>We are very excited to inform you that the school renovation and construction project started today.</p><p>Some of the construction fencing has already been put in place and this will significantly affect access to both the school and the yard for drop off and pick up. STARTING MONDAY there will no longer be access to the west side of the yard off Birch Street. That means that all students will now be picked up and dropped off at the Primary gate on Cameron Street at the east side of the school.</p><p>Please read the attached document for further information and strategies.<br></p><p><a href="/PublishingImages/Lists/LocalNews/AllItems/Parking%20and%20Yard%20Access%20Update.pdf"><img class="ms-asset-icon ms-rtePosition-4" src="/_layouts/15/images/icpdf.png" alt="" />Parking and Yard Access Update.pdf</a><br></p><p><br></p> | | | |
| Classroom Celebration Food Expectations | http://cam.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/275 | Classroom Celebration Food Expectations | <p>A focus of our new school action plan involves improving the nutritional value of food that we both sell and eat at school. </p><p>Celebrations like birthdays, holidays and end-of-year classroom parties often involve foods and drinks that are high in sugar, fat, salt and empty calories. Tying less nutritious foods to celebrations sends the message that fun and 'treats' go together. This can lead to eating more of these foods (and fewer nutritious foods). Improving the quality of food prevents this from happening and puts the focus on the real reason for the celebration!</p><p>We also have many students with severe allergies to nuts, gluten and dairy.</p><p>Let's work together to make classroom celebrations both fun and healthy. If you are sending food into the classroom with your child, please make it fruit or veggies instead of candy, cookies and cupcakes.</p><p>Here is a suggested snack list:</p><ul><li>Veggies and dip</li><li>Whole grain muffins and fresh orange wedges</li><li>Fruit tray, fruit kabobs, cut up fruit</li><li>Whole grain crackers and cheese cubes </li><li>Yogurt, whole grain cereal and berries for parfaits</li></ul><p>We all thank you for your support.</p> | | | |

| Town of Collingwood Parking Reminder | http://cam.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/347 | Town of Collingwood Parking Reminder | <p>Dear Families</p><p>We thank you for your patience as we begin our extensive renovations at the school.</p><p>The Town of Collingwood Bi-law officers have been out in front of the school in an attempt to make drivers aware of their parking expectations. The Town has permitting limited space between the signs in front of the school yard fence for cars to pull into on a 45-degree angle with the direction of traffic. Please do not park at 90-degrees or turn left from the oncoming traffic lane. The Town asks that you do not park and instead drop your children off so they may enter the school gates via the sidewalk and you can reverse and continue on your way. </p><p>We anticipate that our parking issue will increase significantly with the snow and remind you that we have a walking school bus leaving the Church of Christ (494 10<sup>th</sup> street) at 8:40 each morning. There is also parking at the CCI lot on the corner of Maple and Campbell. All bus students should be riding their respective busses and students living within our walking zone should be walking.<br></p><p><br></p> | | | |
| Canine Ambassador Program | http://cam.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/345 | Canine Ambassador Program | <p><br></p><p>Dear Cameron Street Families, </p><p>Last spring, Ms. Sims and her dog Bonnie completed the Canine Ambassador Program. The goal of this program is to train dogs to help promote well-being in schools. Beginning October 31st, Bonnie will be coming to Cameron Street once a week to support our students. She will wear a green vest and will be on a leash unless she is in a classroom with the door closed. </p><p>Bonnie is a 10-year-old golden retriever who is very gentle and calm. She loves attention and having her belly rubbed. Bonnie enjoys coming to school and we hope she brings happiness to the students and staff at Cameron Street. </p><p>Students and staff are asked to follow the guidelines below when interacting with Bonnie.</p><p>1. Ask before petting Bonnie.</p><p> </p><p>2. Ensure Bonnie is sitting before you pet her.</p><p> </p><p>3. Speak calmly and in a quiet voice around Bonnie.</p><p> </p><p>4. Pet Bonnie gently. </p><p> </p><p>5. If Bonnie is not wearing her vest it means she is on a break. Please give her space. </p><p> </p><p>If you have any questions about the program, please contact Ms. Sims at school.<br></p><p><br></p> | | | |
