We are planning for third term activities (like EQAO, Spring Concert, field trips, graduation etc.), but must also begin planning for the next school year. As our school staff begins to organize for classes in September 2011, it is important for our parents to understand the process for student placement decisions. Our ultimate goal is to provide an optimum learning environment for all students. http://www.cornellvillage.ps.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/schoolcouncil/news.html#flowers Spring has sprung!

We know that families have already given generously however we are encouraging the children to also reach in their own pockets and give. We are asking each child to bring in at least one loonie towards a fundraising drive. A loonie per child would mean that we will collect $730.00, while a toonie from each child would mean that we will collect $1460.00. Each child is encouraged to give as much as he/she can.. http://www.cornellvillage.ps.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/schoolcouncil/news.html#angry The York Region District School Board, Psychological Services, is pleased to announce that Dr. Raymond DiGiuseppe will be presenting an evening workshop for Parents: What do I do when my child is angry?.

The purpose of Character Education is to actively teach and promote the positive character traits that lead to developing good citizens. Each month at CVPS, we select a character trait from the YRDSB Character Matters trait list. We learn about the trait and practice it on a daily basis. At the end of each month, we have a Good News Assembly and recognize a student from each class who has demonstrated the trait and lead by example. http://www.cornellvillage.ps.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/schoolcouncil/council/minutes/minutes.html Minutes of the April meeting of the CVPS School Advisory Council. http://www.cornellvillage.ps.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/schoolcouncil/council/agenda/agenda.html Agenda for the April meeting of the CVPS School Advisory Council. http://www.cornellvillage.ps.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/schoolcouncil/programs.html#healthy-eating In 2010 the Ministry of Education launched an initiative to address issues of healthy lifestyles in our community and especially in our schools.
