School Year !!
Vice Principal

A virtue is a habit or established capability to perform
good actions according to a moral standard. In other
words, a virtue is a habit that shows people and God
that we are good people. This month we celebrate the
virtue of Faith. Let us pray for the grace and strength
to be people of faith, people who can that believe that
God’s plan for us includes the right to be safe at
school

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Visit our website: www.dpcdsb.org/guardg
1
Hello Guardian Angels School! I am
excited and honoured to join this school
community for what will be, a fantastic
year. I am so impressed by the welcoming
and friendly nature of all staff, parents and
students.
My vision will focus on student achievement and the
development of our Catholic Virtues in action. As a Catholic
School, it is imperative now, more than ever, that we
demonstrate by our actions what it means to be Catholic.
Our student will act as our Faith Ambassadors to continue to
highlight virtues in action. Our motto “To Light, To Guard, To
Rule and Guide” highlights our responsibility that we firmly
establish ourselves as followers of Christ and that we are asked
to be servant leaders. This initiative gives the opportunity for
students to experience the joy and personal pride of doing acts
of kindness without financial reward. In the words of Mother
Teresa, “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small
things with great love.”
For the past few years, the school has been focusing on literacy.
Last year, we focused on mathematics. This year, we will
continue to focus on mathematics and re-energize our efforts on
reading comprehension. We will continue our major focus on
the Three Part Math Lesson, which will be the priority in all
classes, from grades 1 to 8. Complimenting that will be a
continued focus on Guided instruction in Literacy. All classes,
grades K to 8, will focus on Guided Reading and Guided
Writing.
Our Eco-School and Healthy School initiatives this year will be
in full force as we continue to promote stewardship of the earth
and our health.
All staff graciously offers to provide excellent co-curricular
activities in the school to provide students with a balanced
school day of learning, fun and exercise.
I am thrilled to announce new members to our staff. We
welcome:

Of course, I challenge each parent to become more involved in
their child’s education by working with the staff, attending
Council meetings and attending parent engagement events at the
school. The payoff for you, your child and the school is
immeasurable! As always, if I can be of any service to you,
please contact me at your convenience. Have a wonderful year!

THE VIRTUES INITIATIVE
A key aspect of the Board’s strategic direction is the continued
development of safe, caring, inclusive Catholic school commun
ities. As a Catholic Community, we are called to learn, grow an
d become more like Jesus. Catholic education provides us the o
pportunity to integrate the virtues into our students’ daily activi
ty. The virtues will be covered every month during announcem
ents, in class during discussions, and at school Living Our Fai
th Awards assemblies.

Parents are welcome to join us.
EXCURSIONS AND FIELD TRIPS
Educational trips that extend learning opportunities are
encouraged. Teachers must follow appropriate Board

PERMISSION cannot be accepted.
BUSSING FOR 2013—2014
The board has a system to determine eligibility using a GPS
software system. We request that you visit the website,
http://businfo.stopr.ca. Once on the site, you will have to change
the school year to 2013- 2014 and then enter your address, grade
level of your child and School Board, and it will inform you if
your child is eligible for bussing for 2013. Your child may be
eligible for transportation to and from school if you live beyond
the following distances:



JK /SK/Gr. 1
Grades 2 - 4
Grades 5 - 8
1.0 km
1.6 km
2.0 km
For eligible students, bus pick up and drop off times are
available using your OEN number (this is on your child’s report
card every year). Should you have any questions please do not
hesitate
to
contact
the
Transportation Department (1-800668-1140 or 905-890-6000)
directly.
SCHOOL FUNDRAISER
We will be kicking off our fall
fundraising
October
on
the
Thanksgiving Long Weekend. It will
run for three weeks. We will be
offering chocolate bars provided by
World’s Finest Chocolate. Chocolates
These fundraising events generate funds that support initiatives
within the school. Monies raised through fundraising helped
provide new gym equipment, math resources for the classroom,
guest artists and subsidized the costs of trips. Please show your
support by selling a box of chocolates. We have fabulous prizes
this year including an Apple ipad!
SCHOOL LITURGY
As per board policy, any courtesy
seats will be granted mid October
2013. During the month of
September, only those students
who live in the bussing area are
eligible to ride the school bus. Parents are asked to write a letter
to the Principal/Vice Principal to request an empty seat. Letters
will be accepted until September 28th. After that date, you will
receive notice of any empty seats available. Preferences will be
given to students from Grades 1 – 4.
OUR PARISH TEAM
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Father Jan
Gogolewski and the Parish Team of Guardian Angels Parish to
our school. We truly appreciate all of their hard work and above
all their dedication to the entire Guardian Angels Community.
We look forward to their spiritual guidance with our staff and
students!
Our School Opening Mass will be on Thursday, October 3, 2013

OPEN HOUSE BBQ – MEET THE TEACHER NIGHT
The annual BBQ and “Meet the
Teacher” evening will occur Monday,
September 23rd. The BBQ will be
held from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM and
teachers will be available to meet you
in their classrooms from 6:30 to 7:30
PM. Order forms for BBQ food will
come home next week. Only preorders will be accepted. No food
will be sold that evening.
There will be clowns, face painting and balloons for the kids.
We will also have an ice cream truck offering slushies and ice
cream. We look forward to socializing with you and having fun
coming together as a Catholic School Community.
SCHOOL SECURITY PROTOCOL
We have taken proactive measures to
secure the safety of staff and students by
locking the front door. Visitors may gain
entrance by pressing a buzzer mounted
on the wall, beside the door. The buzzer
activates a 2-way speaker and camera
system. The Office will then be able to tell who is at the door
through a TV monitor and thus, regulate visitor access to the
school.

SUNDAY MASS
We should all be faithful to our parish church, be involved in it,
participate actively in the liturgy and attend Mass on Sunday
regularly.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: #2180 The precept
of the Church specifies the law of the Lord more precisely: “On
Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bond
to participate in the Mass.”
#2181 = The Sunday Eucharist is the foundation and the
confirmation of all Christian practice. For this reason the
faithful are obliged to participate in the Eucharist on days of
obligation, unless excused for a serious reason. Make every
effort to attend Mass every Sunday. Without Sunday we cannot
survive in our faith.
LIVING OUR FAITH AWARDS
We celebrate student success by holding once-a-month
assemblies with students. There are three awards per class given
out: Living Our Faith Award, Most Improved Award and an
Academic Award.
The assemblies start with a brief
liturgical reflection. This process
provides an intimate and special
opportunity for students and parents
to celebrate success. Our first
assembly will be Wednesday,
October 30, 2013. All parents are
welcome to join us. Parents of children receiving awards will
receive personal invitations.

eptance of all. Because of these beliefs, bullying will not be to
lerated. Your child deserves a safe environment to work, learn
and play in. If you have any concerns, please contact us. Thank
you for supporting us as we support your child.
STUDENT AGENDAS
Students in grades 1 to 8 will be using student agendas to
organize their work and as a tool to communicate with parents.
Students are required to use their
agendas daily, and parents should be
checking the agendas nightly for
homework, upcoming assignments
and notes from the teacher. The cost
of the agenda will be $5.00 and are
available to students to purchase.
Funds from the sale of agendas will
cover its cost with any residual funds
going towards supporting student
activities in the school.
PIZZA DAYS
Pizza orders are for one month at a time. Partial and late orders
are not accecpted. Thanks to Ms. McGee and all the student
runners as well as all of our volunteers for supporting this.
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers play an important role in the life of our school
community. They help to enhance the learning opportunities
available to students and make a
difference in the academic life of our
students. If you can spare some time to
read with students, help teachers in the
classroom (other than your own child’s)
assist in the literacy room, photocopy,
count money for special events etc., we
need you!
If you are interested in volunteering within the school, please
contact Mrs. Moniz, our volunteer coordinator. Please note that
anyone working or volunteering in our school must have a
criminal reference check completed by the local police service
before volunteering can begin.
PICTURE DAY
Our Picture Day is on Friday, October 11. All FDK to Grade 8
students will have their pictures taken in the morning or
afternoon. We are pleased to announce that
Life Touch will be conducting the photo
shoots.
VALUABLES
A reminder that AS PER BOARD POLICY, students are not
allowed to bring PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES like
cell phones, pagers, iPods, MP3 players, cameras, etc. to school.
These items, especially cell phones, will be confiscated and
parents will be required to pick them up from the office.
Please keep your child’s valuables at home. Staff cannot be
responsible for any valuables that your child brings to school.
Money, jewelry, Pokemon cards, electronics, toys, etc., should
be kept at home. “Wheelie shoes” and “Bay Blades” are not
allowed at school.
PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Just a reminder to students and visitors to the school that PED’s
such as cell phones, cameras, iPod, electronic games etc are
NOT to be used on school property or during school related
activities, such as field trips or sporting events. If
students have a cell phone for use on the way
home after school, it must be turned off and
stored away out of site in their knapsacks
during school hours. Devices may be confiscated,
and parents will be required to pick it up from the
Principal/Vice Principal.
SCENT FREE POLICY
Children are discouraged from wearing perfume and cologne to
school. Some of our students and staff have asthma and
allergies. The smell of perfume can trigger allergic reactions
and breathing difficulties for them.
CHILD ILLNESSES
Please keep your child at home if he/she
is sick. We discourage children who
have a fever, are coughing, vomiting, or have a runny nose, from
coming to school. They will recover from their illness much
quicker if they are resting at home.
SCHOOL BUS SAFETY RULES
The conduct of individual students on the bus directly affects the
safety of all the students on the bus. The driver’s attention needs
to be on the road. We are requesting that all parents/guardians
reinforce the School Bus Rules with their child(ren). All
Students Should:


Never play close to the road.
Be ready to board the bus by waiting in an orderly line.
Board the bus in single file, use the handrail and sit down
in their seat as quickly as possible.
Listen to the bus driver.
Always remain seated while the bus is moving.
Do not throw anything out of the window.
Keep the aisles clear of objects (backpacks, lunches, etc.).
Do not shout or cause any other unnecessary noises.

Never put any part of your body out an open window.
Be sure to look all ways before crossing the road.
Do not damage the bus in any way.
Do not throw garbage on the floor.
Do not consume any food or drink on the bus.
Bus privileges will be revoked if need be. Thank you for your
support in ensuring that our students journey safely to and from
school.
ATTENDANCE
Please call to register an absence (905) 595-0909, press 1 for the
attendance. You can call 24hrs. An answering machine is
available to take information. Please provide your child’s name,
grade and teacher’s name. If an absence is not reported, our
policy is to call home to verify student absenteeism. A parent or
guardian must sign out students who leave early. A reminder to
parents and students that an expectation set out from the
beginning of the year clearly indicated
that all students must arrive to school
on time.
Being consistently and continuously
late interrupts the classroom during
lessons, creates delays in the office and
sets a poor example for those who do
arrive on time. Please note that issues with lates and absenteeism
will be dealt with strictly, and may involve the school’s
Administration, Child Youth Worker and Social Worker. Please
help us teach your children the value of promptness.
DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
dispensing and storage of ANY medication must occur from the
Office.
TEXTBOOKS
School textbooks are school property and are loaned to the
students annually. The expectation is that textbooks will be
returned at the end of the school year. Students are responsible
for these textbooks and will be asked to pay if these books go
missing or have been vandalized. The cost of an average
textbook is about $50.00 each. Please encourage your child to
take care of textbooks!
FREE DENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM
The Region of Peel Health Services is promoting Healthy Smiles
Ontario, a free dental program to students who meet the
program’s eligibility requirements. Healthy Smiles Ontario is a
new program for children 17 and under who do not have
access to any form of dental coverage. If eligible, children will
be able to visit a licensed dental provider such as a dentist or
dental hygienist for basic dental services including fillings, xrays and scaling at no cost to the
family. Children are eligible if
they:

As a school, we have implemented the government mandated 20
minutes of daily physical activity. Ask your child’s teacher
about the program or visit the Ministry’s Website at:
http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/teachers/dpa_boards.pdf
ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION
We will be sending home REACT forms for parents to fill out
in the event that your child has a medical concern. The form
requires information on the medical issue, and a picture of the
child. Parents are responsible for ensuring that all medication
and forms are updated annually.
If your child requires medication please have all pertinent forms
completed and returned with the medication to the office as soon
as possible.
A reminder that children are not
allowed to keep ANY medication on
their persons, in their desk, backpack or
anywhere in their classroom, unless
ordered by their doctor. In such case,
documentation is necessary. All

information regarding Healthy Smiles Ontario Program and to
book an appointment for a free dental screening.
STUDENT INSURANCE
As required by the Education Act and the Ministry of Education,
the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board annually
provides parents with information about cost-effective student
accident insurance coverage.
Although enrolment is voluntary, the board and school
recommends parents take advantage of this inexpensive
insurance coverage, especially if your child participates in sports
or field trips, or if parents do not have dental insurance coverage.
A Chipped tooth or broken glasses can happen unexpectedly.
Please complete the forms the school provides and mail it or you
can apply on line at www.insuremykids.com
COMBINED CLASSES FOR 2013-2014
Visit our website: www.dpcdsb.org/guardg
6
Combined grades are an unavoidable reality at our school due to
fluctuating enrollments in each grade. Combined classes are a
reality in many of the schools in the Dufferin-Peel Catholic
District School Board. Being in a combined grade is in no way
prejudicial to a child’s education.
Within Ontario, all schools are bound by a strict teacher-pupil
ratio. This will be particularly evident as we strive to meet the
hard cap of 20:1 in the primary grades and the guidelines of 25:1
in Grades 4 -8. Until we finalize our enrolment, all class
arrangements and teacher placements will be tentative.
Lunches should be dropped off between 12:00 PM and 12:30
PM. Parents can simply place their child’s lunch in the
appropriate class basket. Class runner will deliver the lunches to
the classrooms. Parents will label the lunch with the student and
teacher’s name. Student helpers earn volunteer hours delivering
the lunches. Note that priority will be given to dealing with
office and student needs not answering the new front
doorbell, so if you choose to drop lunches and other materials
off late, you will need to exercise patience. Thank you in
advance.
PERMISSION FORM PACKAGE
NUT ALLERGY AWARENESS POLICY
Recently you received a number of permission and information
forms to fill out. Please do so at soon as possible and return them
to your child’s teacher. Thank you.
Please be reminded that no nut products are
allowed in school. We have a number of staff
and students who have potentially fatal
anaphylactic sensitivities to nut products.
Please do not send peanuts, other nuts, Nutella
or any other nut products. Thank you.
CUSTODY OF CHILDREN
On occasion, we are faced with difficult situations in where noncustodial parents arrive at school asking to visit or remove their
child. We are best able to serve and protect students when we
are made aware of legal custody arrangements, visitation rights
and other special instructions. If legal custody matters affect
your family, please ensure that our office and classroom
teachers are aware of any custodial arrangements that may affect
your child during school hours.
HEAD INJURY POLICY
HEALTHY SNACKS
We have noticed a number of students coming to school with
soda pop and “energy drinks” like Red Bull. Red Bull is banned
in several countries because of its adverse health effects. One
can contains 80 mg of caffeine and 8 oz. of sugar and will
increase hyperactivity. One can of pop contains enough
sugar to negatively affect the pancreas and increase weight
and energy levels.
When a student receives an injury/bump to the head (however
minor), it is a Board Policy that we inform parents. A phone
message will be left at one of your contact numbers. This is
precautionary only and we ask that you check your child when
they get home for any signs of a concussion or illness.
Guardian Angels is working hard to promote healthy eating.
These drinks defeat the purpose. Please provide water, juice, or
milk in your child’s snacks and lunches!!
STUDENT BIRTHDAYS
It is important when you are dropping off your child in the
morning that you enter the Kiss and Ride lane and proceed to
end of the lane before allowing your child to get out of the
car. Students must exit from the right hand side of the car
(closest to the school) and parents should remain in the car.
Parents may then enter the “drive thru” lane to exit the parking
lot. At the end of the day or at lunch, if you are pulling into the
Kiss and Ride lane, please do NOT leave your car. Many
parents have received tickets from the Municipality for this. If
you need to come into the school, you must park on one of the
local side streets, or in the spots at the front of the school, do
NOT park in the side lot as moving traffic is dangerous to
children at this location. These rules are enforced and you
could be fined if not abiding by the rules.
When a student has a birthday,
we give them a birthday card and
a WHAT WOULD JESUS DO
BRACELET.
Students with
birthdays have their names called
during the morning announcements as well.
REVERSE LUNCHES
We have seen great success with the reverse lunch process this
year. Children eat their lunches in the last 20 minutes of the
lunch hour. Benefits include: more in class teaching time,
students finish their lunches completely. Teachers have noticed
students being more calm and ready to learn for their afternoon
classes. Less food is wasted and students transition to the
afternoon work period more easily.
DROPPING OFF LUNCHES
DROP OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURES
If walking your child to school in the morning or picking them
up at the end of the day, parents are asked to remain either
behind the black fence by the parking lot, on the path closest
to the school, or on the perimeter of the school pavement.
This is for your child’s safety, as teachers on duty cannot
distinguish parents from “strangers” in the yard with such a large

7
school. NOTE: parents are responsible for arranging to pick you
their child on time at the end of the day. Students from grade 2
to 8 are released at their exit door.
Kindergarten and gr 1 students ONLY are released hand to hand,
so those parents must park and make contact with the teacher for
their child to be released.
We want you to read our
newsletter!
Only bus students exit at the end of the day through the front
doors. Students walking with siblings are asked to have a
meeting spot at the back of the school. Please meet your child
at the back or wait in the Kiss and Ride.
Answer the question below and you
can help your child win a free pizza
lunch, courtesy of Mr. Cassar and
Ms. Owens .
