Dear Colleagues,
It was a real treat to visit Broadview Public School this week which was my final visit of the school year. It was especially heart-warming to have listened in on a kindergarten performance! My thanks to students and staff for the wonderful welcome on site!
With heat warnings anticipated in the coming week, please know that the OCDSB is keeping a close eye on advisories from Environment Canada and Ottawa Public Health to ensure we're addressing the challenges extreme heat can bring to our schools. All of our schools have at least one area with partial or portable air conditioning (i.e. gymnasium, main office, library) and these spaces can assist in offering cool off spaces in buildings that are not fully air conditioned. Rest assured in cases where there are specific concerns about extreme heat and planned activities, Principals adjust or reschedule activities as needed to ensure student and staff safety.
As the school year wraps up, I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our staff members for your hard work and dedication displayed throughout the year. My sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for all of your efforts in seeing our collective work through this final stretch!
