Labour Update

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2022

We are pleased to let you know that all schools will be open again for in-person learning tomorrow, November 8.

Grand Erie’s 920 CUPE staff members will be returning tomorrow to the daily, vital work they do supporting students and learning across the district.

All regular school activities will resume, including extracurricular activities, sports and athletics and student transportation.

Progress reports, where they haven’t already been distributed, will be sent home. Parent-teacher interviews scheduled for this week will proceed as planned.

All child care centres and before- and after-care will be open. Community Use of Schools permits will resume so activities scheduled after hours at Grand Erie schools will now continue as planned.

All ongoing virtual or elearning instruction will continue as normal.

Thank you for your patience. We know these past few days have been difficult, and we’re excited to welcome all students back to school tomorrow.

We are an Eco-School

Did you know our school is an eco-school? Well we are, and that means that our school is making efforts every day to stay green. Some of the things our energy efficiency group is doing include implementing eco-friendly browsers, starting lights out lunches every Monday and Friday, creating signs for lights and monitors, and adding important information to our school website about being eco-friendly. We're also having a fun sweater day where we’re lowering the temperature of the school by two degrees and we will all wear sweaters. We’re also adding Ecosia to all our browsers. Ecosia is a company that plants a tree for every forty-five searches on the internet. Students are also making fifteen signs and posting them around the school, to remind people to turn off lights and monitors. Sweater day will be held on the 29th of November, and the 16th and 17th of December. Remember to check the school website for more cool information about how we are going eco-friendly, and the steps to become a platinum school, and to watch a video about implementing eco-friendly habits. Always remember to stay green!

From,

The Energy Efficiency Team of École Confédération
