* New Food and Beverage Standards
Last year, the Ministry of Education released a new School Food and Beverage Policy, which very clearly details what type of foods and beverages may be sold in a school.  At Elgin St., we are encouraging parents to read the synopsis, and help support the standards when planning to send food to school for special celebrations, such as birthday parties. We do want to celebrate with your child, but are inviting you to think of special non-food treats such as sparkly pencils or stickers if you want to send something for classmates.  NS_fact_sheet_ENG_final.pdf

* Allergen Reminders:  
- Our school is a fragrant sensitive environment.  Please refrain from wearing any perfumed products in the school.
- Please be careful when sending in your child's lunch to ensure that any product that contains peanuts or could contain nut products stay at home.  
- Peanut Butter Substitute Parent Advisory!!  The following is a statement released from the WRDSB => PeanutButter.pdf

No Dogs on Property
Screen shot 2011-08-30 at 8.16.56 PM.pngWe love our 4 legged friends!
However we are asking you to be considerate of the safety of children at school and request that you please leave your dogs at home when coming to school, or stop at the edge of the property if you have chosen to walk your dog to school. We have had a number of issues with dogs this year, and they have created some unsafe situations. “No Dogs on Property” signs will be posted this summer and will be reinforced by staff and the administration of the school.
Full Day Kindergarten
Full Day Kindergarten is coming to Elgin Street in September 2012!  For more information please check out http://www.wrdsb.ca/
