Hi Eramosa Families!
A giant THANKS goes to school council for all their hard work organizing fundraising events! The funds generated so far this year have gone directly back to the school and have supported initiatives such as math games and resources for students, gym equipment, Skills Canada competition supplies and the playground reserve fund, just to name a few. Thank you to everyone for supporting our school!
Spirit Wear Orders are available now! If you are interested in purchasing any items you can use the paper order form sent home or you can go on School Cash Online to make your order. Read more about the spirit wear here: https://www.ugdsb.ca/eramosa/2019/01/10/eramosa-eagle-spirit-wear-is-now-available/
Volunteers are always welcome and needed at Eramosa PS! Examples of volunteers needed: Maybe you have an interesting job or hobby that you would want to share with a class for an hour or if you have time through the week on a regular schedule that you could come in and read with students. Any time shared is valued and appreciated! Please contact your child’s teacher or the principal if you are interested in volunteering in any way at the school.
Kindergarten registration for all children born in 2015 has begun, please click the link for more detailshttps://www.ugdsb.ca/kindergarten/registration/
LUNCH SUPERVISORS NEEDED: If you are able to provide an hour a week to help supervise students in our school during lunch and recess please contact Mrs. Kent at the office. This is a paid position and helps to ensure the safety of our students at lunch recess time.
Attention all Kindergarten Parents: Chris Williston recorded the kindergarten performance at the Christmas Concert and he is willing to share it privately (not through social media formats) to any parent who did not get a video of their own. You can email him: [email protected] .
WE NEED YOUR EXTRA MITTS: If you are cleaning up around the house and find you have too many pairs of children’s mitts in decent condition please consider donating them to the school to help keep hands warm. Thank you!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
ABSENT OR PICKING UP STUDENTS: A reminder that if your child is going to be absent from school or picked up at the school by anyone but the parents/guardians a message from the parents/guardians MUST BE be shared through a phone call to the school’s office. This helps ensure the safety of each child at school.
MEDICATION – If your child needs to take medication at school (that includes: pills, liquids, puffers and any other medical support) the office MUST be notified and a form must be completed before any medication can be provided. Please do not send your child’s medication to the school without first contacting the school to inform them of the situation.
INCLEMENT WEATHER AND BUSES – IMPORTANT REMINDER: The Transportation Department is no longer sending out messages to parents via phone to notify families when a bus is cancelled due to inclement weather. This year, families and staff have two ways of knowing if a bus is cancelled, starting at approximately 6:30 in the morning. Eramosa PS is in the BLUE CARD DIVISION 2.
#1. Visit www.stwdsts.ca (You can visit the site earlier and subscribe for an email notification.)
#2. Visit the Transportation Twitter feed @stwdsts.
NO BUS Days – This is a reminder that when it is announced that Eramosa PS is having a ‘No Bus’ day, our school will be OPEN to students. It is certainly up to parents/guardians to decide whether it is safe to get their child(ren) to school. When the buses are cancelled and do not run in the morning, they will not run in the afternoon. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from school if they choose to have their child(ren) attend on a bus cancellation day.
As in the past, announcements will be made early and often in the morning on the radio, on the Transportation website (http://www.stwdsts.ca/) and Board website (www.ugdsb.on.ca) about any transportation cancellations. Eramosa PS is in Division 2, the Blue Card.
Have a great week!
