| Bus cancellation information in case of inclement weather | http://eas.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/board-news/27 | Bus cancellation information in case of inclement weather | <span><p>Winter is here! With it comes the
possibility of severe weather, challenging winter driving conditions and, as a result, possible bus and school event cancellations. </p><p>All
information regarding cancelled buses in Simcoe County is posted on the
Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium's bus information
website at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.simcoecountyschoolbus.ca/">www.simcoecountyschoolbus.ca</a>. Check our <a href="/about-us/transportation">Transportation</a>
page to see which zone our school is in. When buses are cancelled,
please remember that schools are still open (unless otherwise noted) for
student learning. </p><p>The Consortium, in conjunction with bus
operators, will make the decision to cancel school buses before 6 a.m.
and as such, will make every effort to post announcements between 6 and 7
a.m. Parents should also note that inclement weather cancellations are
effective for the whole day and buses cancelled in the morning will not
run at the end of the day.</p><p>You can also subscribe to receive bus delay notifications here: <a target="_blank" href="https://scstc.ca/Subscriptions">https://scstc.ca/Subscriptions</a> and you can follow the Consortium on Twitter <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/SCSTC_SchoolBus">@SCSTC_SchoolBus</a>.</p></span> | | | |
| Changes to our hat policy | http://eas.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/4 | Changes to our hat policy | <p>It gives me great pleasure to support the new hat policy discussion that students and staff completed last spring regarding the hat policy with the school wide collaborative process. The Eastview Secondary School collaborative process continued at the September Department Chairs Meeting, the September School Council Meeting, discussions with our Superintendent of Education Mr. Stuart Finlayson, as well with discussions with several parents/guardians the last month, and finally at the October Staff Meeting.</p><p>The change will be to allow Eastview Secondary School students to wear their hats in the hallways and cafeteria lunch periods and cafeteria spares only, at school, during the school day.</p><p>Hats must still be removed for "O Canada" if students find themselves late for period one, standing in the hallways during the morning announcements, all instructional classrooms, library, assemblies, and in all staff offices. There was discussion to permit hats with teachers' discretion during technology classes as well as with food preparation, food & nutrition classes only. Please be sure to follow your classroom teacher's request to follow removal of hats in the classes for instructional periods of learning.</p><p>School Council expects students to demonstrate respect of their learning and learning of others, and to focus for keeping high expectations for learning for all Eastview Secondary School students.</p><p>I would like to thank all staff and students for working together in a respectful manner and with this collaborative process. Your voices were heard and you all have worked together in order to work "change" in the Eastview Secondary School hat policy. <br></p><p>The change takes effect Tuesday October 7th.</p><p>Respectfully,<br>Ms. Jane Seymour<br></p> | | | |
