Dear Parents/Guardians:
I wanted to make you aware of some changes to regular practice that you may notice in our elementary schools. These changes are the result of strike sanctions by educational support workers across Ontario, represented by OSSTF, which came into effect on Monday October 5th.
The sanctions may affect the following school functions:
Entry to school buildings – The sanctions direct staff not to use controlled entry systems. In those elementary schools which use buzzer systems on the front door, the buzzer system will be turned off. To ensure students and parents can access schools, the front doors will be unlocked; side and rear doors will continue to be locked. In all schools, visitors are asked to report to the main office and to complete the sign-in sheet in the office.
Calling students to the office – The sanctions direct staff not to call students to the office during the school day. A parent coming to pick up a child during the school day should allow for extra time as Principals are managing a number of responsibilities and may not be immediately available.
School Websites and Newsletters – The sanctions direct staff not to assist with school websites or newsletters. We will continue to use Synrevoice regularly. Parents are encouraged to ensure the school has an up-to-date email address.
Community or Special Events at schools – The sanctions direct staff not to provide set up/tear down of community functions outside of the regular school day. This may affect some planned events. If you are dropping your child off after hours at the school for a community program or activity, please ensure the event is operating before leaving your child at the school.
Changes to regular practice are always difficult and we appreciate the concerns that parents have raised about how these changes will be managed. We know that student safety is a top priority for every one of our employees. Our staff will continue with student supervision, safe arrivals and the monitoring of visitors to the school.
Our principals and vice principals have done and will continue to do their very best to manage the sanctions as they have been implemented and to keep our schools operating with three key areas of focus:
• keeping schools open;
• ensuring students and staff are safe; and
• ensuring student learning continues.
I ask for your continued support and patience as we work through this legal strike action. We will continue to monitor the impact of sanctions and we remain committed to keeping you informed.
