[FAIRWOOD FLYER] Week of October 22nd – October 26th

We Remember It is with great pride that we announce that Fairwood had five student winners in the Legions Remembrance Day Youth Education Program. Two of our students even, won at different levels within the contest. This amazing program allows our students to showcase their artistic and writing talents but also the depth of understanding and importance that Remembering our Veterans is to them. Congratulations to Samantha and Clinton for Junior colour and black and white posters. Ally and Lia for Intermediate colour and black and white posters; and Bailey for his intermediate essay. The Youth Education Program will be running again this year. If this is something that your child would be interested in remind them to be listening to the announcements for the upcoming information meeting. Danceathon Our first School Council fundraiser is happening on October 30th! Let’s get active and dance our way to raising funds for new gym equipment, maths/ literacy materials and technology! Each student is asked to returned signed pledge forms to participate. Students who do not want to fundraise can also ‘buy in’ to the danceathon for $5.00 or remain in their classrooms for programming. Together we can make a difference…thank you for support! Legalization of Cannabis Resources

As of October 17, 2018, it will be legal for individuals 19 and older to buy, use, possess and grow recreational cannabis. It remains illegal for anyone under the age of 19. This is the same as the minimum age for the sale of tobacco and alcohol in Ontario.

Regardless of age, cannabis is not allowed on school property or at school-related events at any time.

It is illegal for anyone regardless of age to smoke or vape any substance, including cannabis:

at school, on school grounds, and all public areas within 20m of these grounds

on children’s playgrounds and public areas within 20m of playgrounds

in child care centres, or where an early years program is provided

[FAIRWOOD FLYER] Week of October 22nd – October 26th

in places where home child care is provided – even if children aren’t present*

*Please note that these are the provincial regulations and by-laws could be different at a municipal level

There will be consequences for students if they are believed to be in possession or under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs or cannabis. Suspension will be considered. There are exceptions if the medicinal use of cannabis is outlined in the student’s Health Care Plan. If a student gives alcohol or cannabis to anyone under the age of 19, the school will contact police, suspend the student and consider expulsion.

In YRDSB, we want families and students to be informed about the facts of cannabis legalization. To support this learning, you may find the following resources helpful. You can also request a hard copy through the school office.

Cannabis: What Parents/Guardians and Caregivers Need to Know Cannabis

Talk Kit: Know How to Talk With Your Teen

We will continue to provide students with information and support to make positive and healthy decisions.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school’s administration.

With appreciation, Jill Maar Derek Totten Pat Best Diane Carlson Principal Vice Principal Admin Assistant Admin Assistant
