EQAO Results

Last Spring, Grade 3 and Grade 6 students from across Ontario participated in an assessment of reading, writing, and mathematics. This assessment was conducted by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), an independent agency whose mandate is to ensure greater accountability and help improve the quality of education by providing clear and timely information about student achievement in Ontario schools.

EQAO results represent one measure of students’ achievement in reading, writing and mathematics. EQAO believes classroom data is the richest source of student achievement data. EQAO results are an added source of information to inform classroom instruction and student achievement.

Results for our school, school board and province are provided to assist you in understanding the assessment results both within our local context and across the system.

To view samples of student work and to understand what work at each level looks like, visit the EQAO Web site, www.eqao.com.

At O.M. MacKillop, we are committed to developing students’ literacy and numeracy skills through the use of the comprehensive math program strategy and rich literacy resources. We constantly scrutinize and adjust our instructional practice as we reflect on the effectiveness of our work. Our very small sample size has a significant impact on our results. We are actively analyzing the results of this year’s EQAO test and making changes to our practices to affect a positive outcome for our students.

Snack Team News:

We have been the recipients of some grants from outside sources, for which we are very grateful. Part of our eligibility for grants requires that we run projects .

Our projects for this year include developing a recipe book that will highlight snack recipes that are easy to prepare. We hope that parents will share with us (via their students) some of their favorite snacks, including those that are from different cultures, so we can all try something new!

In the New Year, we hope to be able to offer a "Tasting Booth" that will feature some fruit and vegetables that may be new to some of us. We look forward to your support in encouraging healthy and nutritious meals and snacks! Thanks in advance...The Healthy Schools Snack Team. - Ms. Douglas

Curriculum Night:

Please join us for our Curriculum Night on October 13, 2016 from 6pm to 7pm. The evening’s format will be an informal drop in /open house where you can visit you child’s classroom, introduce yourself to the teachers and collect information about the curriculum units that will be covered in all subjects this year. This is not an evening to have a personal meeting with your child’s teacher to discuss your child’s progress to date. Please call your child’s teacher to arrange a meeting or a phone conversation if you wish detailed information about your child’s progress.

Dental Screening for all students will occur on October 11^th. Dental screening is a quick inspection of a child’s mouth by a registered dental hygienist. York Region Public Health offers dental screening in elementary schools, by appointment at one of York Region’s Public Health dental clinics, or by request at some Ontario Early Years Centres.

A dental screening will help find dental problems so children can receive the right treatment. It can also be the first step to receiving assistance for urgent dental problems through the Healthy Smiles Ontario (HSO)program, or receiving preventive dental care at one of York Region’s Public Health dental clinics.

Picture Day

Our picture day will be held on October 17th. Our kindergarten children will be photographed early in the day, followed by our primary, junior and then intermediate classes.

Parent and Student Math Night

First Day 2016-2017

September 5, 2016

Happy School Year!

Just one more sleep until the best day of the year. We are looking forward to meeting you for the first time or welcoming you back after the summer holidays. We hope that everyone is rested and eager to start learning.

Class Assignment/Teacher:

Your child’s teacher is listed at the top of this e-mail. Please arrive at school between 8:50 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and head to the ‘backyard’. We will be there ready to greet you and show you which doors your child will use for entering and exiting the school each day. If you need assistance, please look for one of the staff in a safety vest, they will guide you to where you need to be. Students were carefully selected for each class by last year’s teacher if applicable. Classes have been balanced and factors such as learning styles/teacher styles, gender balance, friends and best learning partners have been considered. Classes may need to be re-organized near the end of September to adhere to the Ministry of Education’s Primary Class Size Reduction Mandate and Junior Grade Targets. If a re-organization is necessary, I will communicate with the entire school community at the appropriate time.

Four-legged family members:

The first day of school is an exciting time for everyone. We know that extended family members may want to accompany your child to school tomorrow and we say, FANTASTIC! The more people a child has supporting them in their life they more confident they will likely feel. I must insist, however, that the four-legged furry members of your family not come onto school property when you are dropping off or picking up your child. There are children who are not comfortable around dogs even when they are on a leash or in your arms. Asking you to keep your dog off school property during entry and dismissal time is asking you to respect the needs of all the students. We need to ensure that everyone can come to the school yard and feel safe. We ask that you respect this request and have your child say his or her good-byes to the four-legged member of your family either at home or elsewhere off school property.

Parking Lot/Crossing Guards:

Our parking lot will be closed during entry and dismissal. This is for the safety of our children and staff. Our staff has grown significantly this year and all of the parking spots will be required for our school staff and Board employees who need to work in our school during the day. Please walk to school with your child if possible or park a block or two away and walk to school from there. Crossing guards will be posted at Levendale Rd and Lucas St and also at Rumble Ave and Parkston Crt/Maria Crt.

School Access:

Please know that only students and staff are permitted in the school before, during and after school. If you need to be in the building for a meeting, to watch an extra-curricular activity, if you are volunteering, etc. please sign in at the main office after entering the building through the front door.

Want to see a show?

Hello Families,

We have invited a fabulous artist to our school this Wednesday morning (March 2^nd) to entertain our students and share some insights about the messages we send with our body and facial expressions. This performance is suitable for students from JK-8, so all of our students will get to watch the performance. We do need your help with supervision and if you have already obtained a Vulnerable Sector Screening from the York Region Police, we welcome you join us for the performance. Please let us know if you plan to attend the show which will start at 11:25 and run until approximately 12:15. We thank you and the School Council for raising funds to support the booking of this performance.

Be well,

Jacqueline Linton

School News:

We have a Twitter account! Please follow us on Twitter to get updates on various school activities. @OM_MackPS

Did you receive your child’s Progress Report after school today? Please ask them for it. Progress Reports were created for students in grades 1-8 only.

Thank you to all our Mustangs for contributing very generously to the Holiday Heroes Drive. We filled up a large school bus with all of the donations. Now we have to calculate which classes won the challenges that were “thrown down” last week. I understand that Pudding Sugar Socks, an elf from the North Pole, might be visiting us again to announce the winners.

Our co-ed junior volleyball team tryouts have been on-going this week. We hope that everyone is having fun trying out for the team even though not everyone will be selected.

Chess Club has started up with Ms. Nguyen and students from grades 4-8 have been enjoying creating crafts with Mrs. Linton.

If you have a special skill that you can teach to our children during morning recess or lunch recess, we would love to hear from you. Please let us know how you might be able to contribute.

Thank you for adhering to the deadline for the hot lunches. We will not be able to accept any late pizza, hot dog, sub or Swiss Chalet orders for the January session. The next session begins on January 12^th…this is NOT the first week back at school.

Next Friday is the last day of school before the winter break. We will be celebrating the day in our pyjamas (again…because it is sooooo comfortable), enjoying hot chocolate and singing songs. If you child requires a dairy-free hot chocolate, please let Mrs. Linton know: jacqueline.linton@yrdsb.ca

Stay tuned for news about a wonderful Math Enrichment program that can be used 365 days a year by all students from Kindergarten to Grade 8.

The regional elementary arts program at Baythorn PS. information night for parents of interested students currently in grade 4 and 5 will be held on Wednesday, January 13th, 2016, at Baythorn PS at 7:00 pm. More information can be found on the Baythorn website: http://www.yrdsb.ca/schools/baythorn.ps/arts/Pages/default.aspx

This information will be updated shortly so please continue to check this link for 2016 information.

Please read Trustee Corrie Bain’s message to families: http://www.yrdsb.ca/schools/ommackillop.ps/info/Pages/Trustee-Message.aspx

French Immersion Information Sessions and Registrations

Information sessions for the French Immersion (FI) program will take place at French Immersion schools on January 14, 2016 at 7 p.m. Your designated FI school is Michaëlle Jean Public School, 320 Shirley Drive, Richmond Hill. Please visit YRDSB’s website in January 2016 for any additional information (http://www.yrdsb.ca/Programs/fi/Pages/Program-Locations.aspx).

FI registration will begin January 15, 2016, after 8:30 am. Parents or guardians of Senior Kindergarten students entering Grade 1 in September 2016, and wishing to enrol in the FI Program, can visit or call the current school office and request an Office Index Card - short version. The Office Index Card must be signed by the principal of the home school where your child attends Senior Kindergarten. Parents or guardians then take this form, along with one piece of identification showing their address to Michaëlle Jean Public School to register between January 15 and February 12, 2016. This eliminates the need to provide duplicate enrollment information or to pre-register.

YRDSB’s FI Accommodation Plan provides long-term consistency and equity of access to all students in York Region and will enable YRDSB to continue to offer the FI program to all who wish to enrol. The FI program will be offered in Dual Track or Single Track settings, in a variety of configurations. In order to meet community needs and optimize available space in our schools, a community's Grade 1-8 FI program may be provided over more than one school during the course of a student's FI education. This will allow flexibility in addressing community needs and the opportunity to use existing space in schools. More information is available on the Board’s website: www.yrdsb.ca. Please note: Some of the FI accommodation plans will require facility modifications or the development of new schools and will require short-term transition plans that might include overflow while we work toward the long-term vision. Overflow refers to situations in which the Board directs students to attend a school other than their community school or optional program for a specific period of time, as defined in Policy #108.

Congratulations to our Cross Country Runners

An amazing team of athletes participated in the area cross country meet last week Thursday. The weather was beautiful, our athletes were fast and our Mustang spirit was strong. Thank you to our grade 8 students who were course marshals and helped everyone enjoy a safe day. Thank you to the teachers who supervised the students: Mr. Potyok, Ms Nguyen and Mr. Kaliczak. And, a HUGE thank-you to Ms Painter who organized the entire cross country meet for all of the athletes at all of the schools in our Central area of YRDSB.

We have 6 students moving on to the Regional Cross Country Meet this Thursday. Go Mustangs, Go!

School News:

1.Our Junglesport activity starts on November 3^rd. Please send in the consent form and $16.00 payment no later than October 30^th if you wish to have your child participate in the adventure. At this point in time we are making alternative arrangements just in case it is necessary to move the Junglesport activity away from Wednesday, November 4^th. The current ETFO work action will impact our teachers ability to supervise students on Wynne Wednesday’s outside of the regular class and duty schedule. If necessary, Junglesport will occur on November 3, 5, 6 and Monday the 9^th. We await confirmation of the possible need to change and I will let you know if a revision is needed as soon as possible.

2.Our Fall Dance will be held during school hours this Friday. It coincides with our school spirit day and everyone is encouraged to wear BLACK or ORANGE to school on October 30^th. If you allow your child to wear their Hallowe’en costume at school on Friday, please remember that in accordance with our Safe Schools Policy masks must not be worn and absolutely no replica weapons can be brought to school as part of a costume. A student of any age will be suspended from school if their costume includes a replica weapon. Please keep all toy guns, knives, grenades, swords, nunchuks, daggers, scythes, etc. at home. (I have seen them all during my years as an educator.) We are focusing on the fun of dressing up so please understand that fake blood and festering wounds should not be part of the costumes worn to school. When students are frightened by this type of make-up, we can’t console them the same way you would as a parent. Also, please protect precious costume items at home. We don’t want to have disappointed children on October 31^st if a costume item gets left at school.

3. Daylight Savings time comes to an end this weekend. Time changes are difficult for children and adults alike. Please try to help the transition by sticking with your bedtime routines and consider changing (delaying) sleep time by 20 minutes every two days over the next week. This will hopefully help your children wake up closer to the new time versus the “too early” hour. Of course, if you have children in grade 7 or 8 you probably want them to wake up an hour earlier than they likely do already in order to be ready to get to school on time with a more relaxed morning routine. Good Luck!

School News:

Congratulations to our girls and boys intermediate volleyball teams. Both teams have had the opportunity to compete in local tournaments and our Mustangs are improving their skills with each game. Thank-you to Coach Painter and Coach Potyok for giving so many hours of your personal time to help our athletes grow.

Our Student Voice group is promoting a Holiday Heroes Drive. Starting on Monday, November 23^rd, families are encouraged to send in a new unwrapped gift, new clothes, new toiletries or non-perishable donations to the Food Bank. Gift cards of all sorts would also be accepted. This might be a great time to try out our school’s Fundscrip Fundraiser and purchase your gift cards for the season while support our school at the same time. The Holiday Heroes Drive will end on December 10^th.

From the office… We would appreciate your co-operation following the lunch time sign out procedure that was communicated in the School Start-Up Package. At the beginning of the year families signed a form indicating whether a student would be staying at school each and every day for lunch or going home for lunch each and every day. If there is a special day when a student has parental permission to leave the school property for lunch then the following must occur:

1. Permission to sign out for lunch must be received in a note that is dated with the current day’s date and has a parent/guardian signature.

2. The note must be presented to the first period teacher so that it can be received in the office with the morning attendance.

We cannot accept a telephone call providing permission for a student to sign out. Our attendance records must have a parent’s signature to authorize a student to leave the school property during the day. We cannot accept an e-mail to provide permission, however we will accept a signed fax if it is received before 9:30 a.m.

New Computers Arriving Soon!

We have recently ordered:

5 new Ipads,

6 new Dell notebooks and

1charging cart for 15 laptops.

These purchases couldn’t have been possible without your fundraising support. Thank you. Our new technology will help immensely with the implementation of a brand new MATH ENRICHMENT program that is coming our way in the new year…stay tuned for more information.

From School Council…

Thank you for your continued support of our fundraising activities. We want to thank our many volunteers who organize a variety hot lunch options and different sales campaigns.

Our next hot lunch order forms are due on December 8^th. Absolutely NO late orders will be accepted. We know that you will understand how difficult it is to manage the large quantity of orders and the need to establish a cut-off date.

You will be receiving our School Fundraising Survey in a separate e-mail. Please complete the survey as soon as you can. Your input helps determine which fundraisers we will pursue and how the money will be spent.

Indigo Love of Reading Adopt a School Results

Information about our lunch programs will be sent home this week. This year you can choose from weekly pizza, hot dogs, subs, popcorn and Lunch Lady. We will have special cookie days throughout the year. The lunch programs are fundraisers that support a variety of activities in the school including: Scientists in the Schools, Mathletes, Grade 8 celebrations, spirit days and the list goes on and on.

Our first School Council meeting will be this Monday, September 21^st from 7pm-9pm. The agenda can be found on our website: http://ommackillop.ps.yrdsb.ca/

Students have started joining clubs and sports teams. Our cross country team is up and running…”up and running” get it? LOL. Practices are Mondays and Wednesdays 3:35-4:10 and Thursdays during morning recess. If you child would like to participate, they must have you sign a permission form that is available for pick up in the office. The area meet is on October 7^th and the regional meet is October 14^th.

Our Student Voice group is taking new members. We need to hear what our students have to say in order to make our school and this world a better place. Please encourage your child to join the Student Voice group.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. It is also the month that we have our annual Terry Fox run/walk. I am looking for parent volunteers to help organize our Terry Fox walk/run. Our run/walk will be held on September 30^th. On September 29 and 30^th, students and staff will be encouraged to wear GOLD or YELLOW in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Our students will be able to wear a hat in school all day (Caps for Cancer) on September 29^th if they donate $2.00 or more. The money will be donated to Ontario Parents Advocating for Children with Cancer OPACC. I am the mom of a child diagnosed with cancer. I am here to support you and anyone you know who may have to deal with this terrible reality.

Do you have an hour or two available to spare? We are always looking for volunteers. Perhaps you could listen to a child read, hand out pizza, shop for hot dog buns. If you have some free time we would love you to support our students. A volunteer working in the school or directly with students will need to obtain a Vulnerable Sector Police Screening report. Please see Mrs. Papadopoulos or Mrs. Diamond in the office if you are interested and we will provide you with a letter to take to the police station.

Well, that’s it for this week.

Be well

End of Year Update

A Wonderful Year:

It is unbelievable that we have already reached the end of the school year. I want to thank you all for the incredible support that you have given me during my first year at MacKillop.

The staff, students and I have already started meeting about next school year and plans to partner with the Marlies, start a primary/junior soccer club, put together some hockey teams, have a Math Olympics day and lots more. Let’s hope that everyone comes back to school safe, sound and rested for a new and exciting year.

Grade 8s, we will miss you as you head onto high school. You are a super group of kids and on Monday we saw what a wonderful group of young adults you are becoming. K-7 students, you are amazing too and I am looking forward to seeing you in the new school year. Enjoy a wonderful summer!

LOST AND FOUND:

Please encourage your child to look through our lost and found items to claim their property. All items will be collected on Friday and donated to charity. You are welcome to come in yourself to look through the tables of clothes and shoes before 3pm on Friday.

On-Line Cash Payments:

Our school will be accepting online payments through School Cash Online starting in September. School related expenses such as hot lunches, field trips and fundraisers will be online for you to make payment. Watch for more information coming soon.

Vacations at the beginning of the school year:

If your child will not be starting school on the first day, September 8, 2015, please send us an e-mail or letter as soon as possible. We must know if your child will be attending even if they are at school on the first day or we will need to remove them from our register.

Promotion Letters:

We still have several promotion letters in the office for students who were not in class this week. The letters contain attendance information and grade placement information for September. The promotion letters will be filed in each student’s individual record (OSR) and will be the legal notification of promotion to the next grade. If you haven’t seen your child’s promotion letter please ask them for it or pick it up in the main office.

Moving?

Are you moving this summer? If so, please send us your new address so that we can update our files. Our staffing depends on accurate registration numbers. It helps us to know early if your child will be attending another school in the fall.

End of Year Assembly and Clap-Out

We will be viewing the year end slide show tomorrow and celebrating Gordon (our crossing guard) and the teachers who are leaving MacKillop this year. We will have a limited number of seats available for parents who might like to join us at 9:30 a.m. The assembly will run until 10:45.

June 12, 2015

The fun continues at MacKillop and yesterday was another amazing day for all of us.

At the beginning of the day we sent over 60 athletes from grades 4-8 to the area track and field competition.

Well done MacKillop jumpers, runners and throwers. We had some fabulous results at the area meet. All participants put forward their best effort on the playing field. The following athletes earned a ribbon.

Serenity 2nd in ball throw

Callum 1st in 400m

Tom 2nd in running long

Ryan 6th in 100m

Thank you to Ms Nguyen, Ms Painter, Ms Soper and Ms Yu for taking the students to the event. Thanks also to Mrs. McClelland for delivering the pita lunches to the athletes.

We finished the day with our annual Fun Fair. I know from the smiles seen and laughter heard that everyone had a great time. The rock bands and talent show were incredibly entertaining…we have such a talented group of students here at MacKillop. Mr. Potyok, the kids that you have trained ROCK! Thank you to Ms Jyoti and her team of volunteers for organizing this year’s fun fair. We can’t wait for you to do it all again next June. The following prize baskets were not claimed last night.

Our tradition at MacKillop is to recognize our graduating students by sending them off to summer vacation with a full school clap out. The change in the schedule for June 25^th has impacted many grade eights who were heading to camp after the historical early dismissal. This year our clap out will occur at noon in order to celebrate all of the grade 8s. Classes will still continue in the afternoon for students who are not signed out by a parent.

Finally, for this week, it is the time to share with you the staff members who will not be returning to MacKillop next year.

We want to thank our temporary staff for their dedication and efforts to support the children at our school. Some of these staff members might return in September if we are fortunate however, we wish them all well in whatever new post comes their way. Farewell to Mr. Chu, Ms Ge, Ms Gelman, Ms Martchenkov and Ms Yu.

Ms Wirth has accepted a position at a school much closer to her home. Bonne chance, Madame!

Last but not least, Mrs. Bowden has decided to retire after many years in the teaching profession. She has been an outstanding educator and has always been a strong advocate for the students who need a champion. So long to our dear friend and colleague. Pedal fast and pedal long.

School News:

On Thursday, April 2nd, staff and students will celebrate World Autism Awareness Day and are encouraged to wear BLUE. Students will learning about Autism through the morning announcements and class lessons during the month of April as we have dedicated this month to understanding the lives of people living with Autism.

Spring is in the air. Ewww, there is a nasty smell too.

Each spring and late winter the school receives a number of complaints or inquiries concerning the "bad smell" coming from the surface water in school yards. Sometimes the water has a yellow or green-brown color. This natural process also occurs on wet grassed surfaces when the top layer (1”or less) thaws while the materials below this point are still frozen. A wet ground that suddenly freezes under snow or ice followed by periods of thaws and then freezing over the grass and plant material sets up a decomposition cycle similar to that in a bog or swamp. The odour can be mild, smell like rotting manure, sewage or even have a chemical smell. While this is not a pleasant experience for those who have to deal with the wet and dirty clothes or remain in proximity to the odour, it is not harmful. It is however, important for children to avoid puddles and muddy areas as there could be other things unseen in the water or mud such as pet feces, garbage or sharp materials. Students must play only on the paved areas to avoid the tracking in of the decomposing materials on clothes and boots and the other potential dangers mentioned. We realize that this spring phenomenon will cause you to do more laundry as you try to keep your child’s clothing clean and odour free. We appreciate your time to help to keep things as fresh as possible.

March 3, 2015 Head Lice

http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/head_lice

At this time of year, many students may have come into contact with a student who has pediculosis (head lice). Head lice are common in school-aged children. They are not considered to be a communicable disease and do not cause illness, however they are a nuisance and can spread easily. Anyone can get them.

This information link: http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/head_lice from the Canadian Pediatric Society contains more information about the identification, treatment and prevention of head lice.

We encourage you to check your child’s head. If your child has nits (eggs) and/or live lice, we request that you notify the school and apply treatment as soon as possible. Your child can continue to attend school when they are free of live pediculosis and when treatment has begun.

For further information about head lice, please contact York Region Health Connections at 1-800-361-5653.

You can support your child’s literacy development by helping them “play” in this arts based language form. How about creating an Ode to the Kitchen Table or an Ode to the Softest Tissue When You Have A Cold? Have fun, be silly and just start writing.

WOW! Where has the month gone? It is hard to believe that it is already the end of September.

Last week we participated in the school-wide Terry Fox Run/Walk and with your generosity, we have surpassed our goal of raising $500.00 for cancer research.

In recognition of childhood cancer awareness month, the MacKillop staff and students have committed to wearing GOLD or yellow tomorrow, September 30th. It is a very fitting way to recognize the children in our lives who are champions.

My own son, was diagnosed with cancer 1.5 years ago when he was in grade eight. As a family, we know how simple gestures by others help us though challenging times; the simple gesture of wearing GOLD or yellow tomorrow will help many others too.

This week is Safety Week in YRDSB.

Next week we will be having our School Council elections at the meeting on October 6, 2014 at 7pm. Please join us, it is a very inclusive group and all are welcome to attend. Babysitting is available.

On October 9th, all families are invited to our BBQ and curriculum night. Your child/children will be taking home a flyer about the BBQ today. Please ask for it if it isn’t shared with you when you get home.

Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the office if you have any questions pertaining to information shared in this bulletin.

Be well,

Jacqueline Linton

Principal
