MARCH BREAK
Monday, March 11 to Friday, March 15

ENJOY your March Break! School will be closed for the break and will re-open on Monday, March 18

Toonie Tuesday

On behalf of the Education Foundation of Ottawa we would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of our students and families who brought in their toonies on Toonie Tuesday in support of the Education Foundation.

This year we raised $568.70!

Toonie Tuesday is all about experiencing small acts that can make a BIG difference. On the last Tuesday in February, students are asked to bring in a $2.00 donation to help other kids just like them. All the funds raised from this day go directly to the Students in Crisis Emergency Fund. Your spare change will open doors for students who would otherwise be cut off from countless opportunities to succeed in education.

Thursday, March 28 @ 6:00 p.m.

Litterless Lunch Fridays

Our Earth Care club have started a Litterless Lunch initiative. They are asking our Roch families to prepare litterless lunches for lunch every Friday.

A litterless lunch is a reusable lunch box with reusable containers that can be taken home and washed. This means for a day each week we don't throw out any lunch garbage to end up in our landfills. Help us Reduce & Reuse on our Littlerless Lunch Fridays.

Ottawa Public Health (OPH) Immunization

All children attending school between ages 4 to 17 need to be immunized according to Ontario's Immunization Schedule.

Parents are required to report all immunizations done at the doctor's office to OPH. Under this Act, OPH has the authority to suspend from attending school students for whom OPH does not have a record of immunization.

Parents/guardians of these intermediate and secondary students received written notice from OPH in the mail by November 21st.
