April 20: Sara, from Peace and Development, presented to staff about solidarity. This is in preparation of World Catholic Education Day when our school will be praying in solidarity. April 27: Full Day Professional Development All Division French Immersion teachers met at Montfort Centre for the first time ever! It was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate and share best practices. Our focus was on developing strategies to increase the French oral skills of our students. Our English staff stayed back at the school and had a very productive day. Their focus was learning how to use Google Classroom and collaboration in preparation for year-end activities. Where we’re going: Staff Meeting Preparation for World Catholic Education Day liturgy and praying in solidarity. As the school year starts to wind down, it is important for our staff to collaborate on year end activities and exams. PULL TOGETHER CAMPAIGN In support of Ronald McDonald House Congratulations Camille School! We collected three buckets of pull tabs for this very worthwhile cause which is double what we collected last year! Be sure to continue to collect pull tabs as we will continue to collect them for Ronald McDonald House next school year!

Grade 6 students are encouraged to take home 3-4 books as well. CAMILLE LIBRARY LEARNING COMMONS A great BIG thank you to Teegan Conroy for beautifying our book return box! A Special Note Regarding Choir at Ecole Secondaire Notre Dame High School We`d like to clarify some information that was inaccurately communicated in our Ecole Secondaire Notre Dame Course Description Booklet, which students recently used to select their course for the 2015-16 school year. Choir will be offered as a five credit, full-year course, during Block 1, every other day. It will not be offered after school, as stated in the course description booklet. If this schedule clarification fits your own schedule better, please consider being a part of the fantastic Notre Dame Choir. Please connect with your school counselor so that they can forward this information to a high school administrator if this notice affects you and they will notify Notre Dame on your behalf. At Band Festival: The Grade 5 Band earned a Superior rating! The Grade 6 & 7 Bands earned an Excellent rating! The Junior Jazz Band and Senior Jazz Band earned a Superior rating! PEANUT ALERT! Our school, Camille J. Lerouge School, has some students that have a life-threatening allergic reaction to peanuts or products containing peanuts/peanut oil. With your cooperation, we can minimize the risk of an allergic reaction. The Grade 8/9 Band earned a Superior rating! Please congratulate these musicians for their exceptional effort and talent and our wonderful band instructor, Mr. Tim Brehaut! BON VOYAGE! A group of 45 Camille grade 9 students are traveling to Montreal and Québec City along with 11 lucky adults. They will be accompanied by Mme Leger and M. Rheaume from May 21 to 31 for this exciting experience! Personal Appearance We expect that children dress appropriately for school. Appearance should reflect good judgment and respect for self and others. Failure to show this good judgment could result in the student being sent home to change. Inappropriate attire includes: Unhemmed cut-offs, short skirts (no more than 8 cm above the knee), shorts and dresses that do not illustrate a business-like attire Excessively ripped or baggy clothing Sleeveless shirts, fish-net tops on gentlemen (tank tops) Halter tops, spaghetti strap tops, beach/swimwear tops, fish-net tops or other tops which insufficiently cover body and undergarments Bare midriffs (shirts must be long enough to be tucked in or meet the belt-line of pants), clothing with plunging necklines, or backless clothing Headwear of any kind (hats, caps, bandannas, sweat bands, etc.) Clothing which allows under garments to be exposed Any combination of clothing which is considered gang related Middle school students are required to wear a school gym strip for Physical Education classes. Clothing depicting/suggesting inappropriate words, symbols, phrases, graffiti, etc. is not permitted. Flip Flops and Mishaps on the Playground With the warmer weather, some students are heading out to the playground with flip flops. We are asking that you DO NOT send your children to school with flip flops as they are not safe outside footwear. The amount of accidents we see in the office due to flip flops are concerning. We appreciate your consideration with this matter. Telephone Messages The office is currently experiencing an increased volume of requests for messages to be passed onto students. Please be aware it is extremely difficult to ensure messages are passed to your children without interrupting classes. The ongoing interruptions to the classrooms are becoming a major concern to teachers and a distraction for students. Please be thoughtful and make necessary arrangements prior to your child leaving for school in the morning. If you are worried that your child may forget the arrangements, a note in the agenda can be a useful reminder. It is also helpful to your child if you have an alternate plan if you are running late, eg. “If Mommy is not at our meeting place, just go into the office and wait for me there.” Of course, there are always exceptions and please do not hesitate to contact the office staff directly in case of an emergency. NEWCOMER ORIENTATION WEEK The NOW program, or Newcomer Orientation Week, is offered to immigrant students who will be starting high school in Canada for the first time. Your child may have many questions about their new school and this program is designed to help prepare for this transition. The program is being offered at Notre Dame High School and Lindsay Thurber Composite High School from August 25-27, 2015. Attendance is required for all three days and there is NO cost for the sessions. If you require any information or the registration package, please see Irv Sandulak in Counselling at the school. Changes in the Air (May) Warmer temperatures cause us to dream for summer days. With winter’s frigid temperatures behind us one assumes idling will reduce. But idling is not a seasonal activity. A Canadian study found on any given August day, Canadians idle their vehicles for a combined total of 46 million minutes per day. Turning off our vehicles contribute to improving air quality around our school. Additionally climate can be affected by carbon dioxide emissions from exhausts. We want warmer weather but let it happen naturally; not as a result of global warming. Ecole Camille J. Lerouge School would like to invite you to our EVENING OF EXCELLENCE May 14, 2015 from 6:30-8pm. Cross-curricular projects from grades 3-5 will be on display and presented by our students. Come check it out and celebrate the success, hard work and dedication our students have shown this year. Thank you for continuing to support our school community! RECESS EQUIPMENT LEGO NEEDED! School Council Recess Equipment Committee is responsible for finding games, toys, etc. for outdoor recess as well as indoor recess for days when it is too cold for the kids to go out or too rainy. We are always looking for new and gently used items like puzzles, games, soccer balls, skipping ropes, etc. for kids to use indoors and outdoors. As well, our teachers have been asking for Lego. We are asking if any families have any new or gently used Lego they would donate to the school. We have many classrooms and they all want it! At anytime throughout the year, we would be happy to accept any items for donation to the Recess Equipment Committee. Items can be dropped off at the front office. YEAR END EVENT Please join us for a fun night with your family! Wednesday, May 27 - Year End Event Food Trucks! Bouncy Castle! Face Painting! Games! 5 - 7 pm - School Gym Come ready for fun! Celebrate this amazing school year with friends! Would you like to learn more about what is happening in your child`s school? School Council is a great way to learn about Ecole Camille J. Lerouge. Many parents attend our School Council meetings just to see what is going on in the school and learn more as they are not able to volunteer in the school during the day. There is no obligation to attend all of our meetings. You can drop in to any meeting any time throughout the year! We love to see new parents and share information. You are welcome to just sit and listen. CONGRATULATIONS TO CAMILLE J.
