Health & Safety:
Thanks for taking some time to go over criteria for a successful snowy recess (how to slide down the hill, no snow throwing, appropriate games, climbers, forts, etc). We want to ensure everyone is safe outside during recess play.
Beginning of Day:
Thank you for working as a divisional group so that at least one teacher is at the students' door in the morning to open it when the bell rings and monitor their entrance. Thanks for monitoring hallways and stairwells as well. The goal is to have classes entering (and using the staircases) in an orderly fashion under teacher supervision. Thank you for helping with this.
Class time:
A reminder that for staff and student safety, students should be working under educator supervision at all times. Hallways, stairwells, foyers, library, side library offices, etc., unless directly supervised by an adult, should not be used for student workspace.
End of Day:
Thank you for keeping students in their classrooms (or Discovery rooms) until the final bell. This allows the bus loading of the kinders and primary students to be safe and smooth and our 2nd floor students are able to safely leave the building in a staggered exit. This helps out our staff who are on duty during this time a great deal. Thank you!
Absences:
If putting in an absence for a medical appointment, it is very helpful if you can enter this as soon as you know of your appointment, to ensure the job gets filled.
If having to put in an early morning absence, please be sure to text/call either Joanne or Bill so that we can watch it in SmartFind. We will do our very best to fill all jobs (if SF doesn't) but our emergency lists are not plentiful. Thank you for your flexibility when we have to do some last minute altering - let's hope the flu bug stays out of Southview!

Inclement Weather Reminders
New this year....families are asked to report their students' absense (even those that ride a bus and buses are not running). Please see the community announcement in our community newsletter attached below.
We will need to see what high need students are in the building and EAs can determine a working schedule based on student need. Student safety always comes first.
Please see the LDSB memo below around reporting for work. If you are having difficulties in the morning arriving on time, please text/call Joanne OR Bill, keeping in mind that we are also traveling to work and may not be able to respond immediately.
Thanks team!
