Masking at school

ebsac

Anyone else done with stinking Covid?

Cases are on the rise and we know it’s a pain to wear masks BUT we would love to see masks worn inside the classrooms. 

If you or a family member have Covid, please email Nina to let her know so that families can make their own decision about exposure risk. 

Together we will keep our community safe. Thank you for all your efforts!!

Happy March Break

ebsac

Happy first day of March Break! Some are out of the City but for those that are doing staycations what are some of the activities this week?

I always love our local Don Mills Science Centre: https://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/

I really loved this article about fun things to do at Ontario Place: https://www.blogto.com/events/march-break-at-ontario-place-toronto/

Want the ocean experience without the plane tickets? Try Ripley’s Aquarium! https://www.ripleyaquariums.com/canada/

Still not ready for indoor events? What about walking the outdoor pavilions at the Toronto Zoo? https://www.torontozoo.com/

Plan ahead. Some places may still be doing timed entrances so you have to get tickets in advance.

No matter what, have fun and stay safe!

Thank you to the EBCAT Team

ebsac

From everyone at EBSAC we really thank the EBCAT community team for helping keep our Earl Beatty’s safe and for all their time they put in distributing and packaging all the rapid test kits. Our families felt more protected than ever because of your efforts. Thank you to all community members that participated in the program. We really appreciated your support and it was really amazing to see the community pull together during this stressful time. We are sad to see the doors closing on EBCAT and we wish everyone well!

PS-word on the street is that Shoppers gives out a free box of rapid test kits every Thursday on a first come first serve basis while quantities last. Just ask the pharmacist!

Stay safe!

Happy International Women’s Day!

ebsac

EBSAC wishes all women around the world a happy International Women’s Day.

We celebrate all women in our community and a special mention of our Principal Nina and Vice-Principal Valia!! Our students are lucky to have such strong women to lead them on their educational journey.

Together we will continue to work towards a world of gender equality, a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.

Come out & help our Earl Beatty teachers!

Please come out on March 8 & 9 after school and show your support by giving your signatures!

“Greetings Parents:

As we move closer to Provincial Election time and the end of the current Teacher Contract, we are beginning to engage in actions to advocate for the schools students and teachers deserve. 

ETT Teachers (Elementary Teachers of Toronto) are engaging in a petition campaign to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.  We are asking all parents, guardians, community members, and education staff to participate.  The petition calls for the following:
1. Provide funding to the TDSB to be able to provide appropriate PPE for staff and students and;
2. Ensure a regular supply of Rapid Antigen Tests be made available to schools to be sent home to ensure regular testing prior to attending school and;
3. Update the funding formula from 1998 to 2022 to meet current student needs, provide specialty teachers, and repair schools.

We are hoping to gather signatures after school on the sidewalks surrounding Earl Beatty on Tuesday March 8th and Wednesday March 9th. 

As always, we appreciate your support in our fight to build better schools so students and staff have what they need to be safe, happy and successful.

Thanks,

The Earl Beatty Teachers
