Dear Families,
A number of our intermediate students have been using aerosol deodorant after gym classes. Some students and staff have had reactions to the aerosol in particular. So, please do not send aerosol deodorant to school with your children. Stick deodorant is acceptable for use in a public school. (And we DO encourage our older students to use deodorant!)

Thank you.
Mr. Wagner

The 15th Annual Guelph Police Bicycle Ticket Program will begin Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 and will run until Thursday August 1st, 2013.

This program is designed to promote awareness to Guelph youth of the benefits of wearing bicycle helmets while riding their bike through positive reinforcement. While officers are on proactive patrol, when they see a child wearing their bike helmet, they will stop the youth and reward them with a ticket for a free, NEW Dairy Queen “Smoothie®” courtesy of Dairy Queen Guelph.

The child will then be eligible to win a free bike, courtesy of George Vettor Cycle, on August 1st, 2013. The program is geared towards children aged 4-13 years old.

In the first 14 years of this program the Guelph Police Service has issued over 15,434 tickets to the youth in Guelph and given away 28 free bikes. Each year, a male and female winner is chosen.

The Hanlon Creek Neighbourhood Group is participating in the 10th annual Clean and Green Clean-up with the City of Guelph. We will be at University Village Park (on Ironwood Rd, the park across and down the street from F.A. Hamilton school) at 9:30 A.M. on Saturday April 20. Come out and help clean up the neighbourhood. Gloves and bags will be supplied. A little bit of effort makes a lot of difference! The City of Guelph is sponsoring a free BBQ after the clean-up and always supplies a free t-shirt. We'll have details at the park, hope to see you there!

Dear Families,
In spring we will complete 3 fire drills, 1 lock down drill and 1 tornado drill. Developing emergency procedures at home is a good idea, too. The following link has some useful information: http://www.getprepared.gc.ca/index-eng.aspx.

There is a PD Day on April 22nd. On this day teachers will continue to look at three part problem solving across the curriculum and how to use descriptive feedback to assist in writing report comments. We will also be working on our School Improvement Plan. A parent survey will be sent out later this month to get your input on how we're doing at JLPS.
