IMPORTANT - Parking on Netherford Road and Naylon Street

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Local Neighbours and Parking on Netherford Road and Naylon Street

         

School arrival and dismissal is always a busy part of the school day with buses, taxis, and cars dropping off or picking up students and I recognize that parking at Gibson is difficult. 

Having received recent concerns from our neighbours on Netherford Road, Gibson families parking on Netherford Road and Naylon Street are reminded to adhere to the municipality laws and not park in any “No Parking” areas or block driveways or cross walks.  It is also extremely important that we be respectful of our school neighbours and their property at all times.  It appears that parents are parking, or making u-turns, onto our neighbours’ lawns resulting in damage to their property.  When stopping along either side of Netherford Road, please be respectful of our community and avoid pulling over or onto neighbouring lawns.

In order to alleviate some of the parking congestion during these times, I would like to suggest and remind parents to use school bus transportation if your child qualifies; or have your child walk or bike to school. 

Thank you for your support in respecting our school community.

Sincerely,

Claudia Fischer

Principal

Lice Check on February 14, 2018

        February 9, 2018

  

        Dear Parents/Guardians,

Head lice are common in school-aged children. They are not considered to be a communicable disease and do not cause illness, however they are a nuisance and can spread easily.  Anyone can get them and we encourage parents to regularly check your child’s head for lice.

Next week, we have arranged to have Nurse Shelley (an approved YRDSB Lice Check provider) come to the school to check all our students for lice on Wednesday, February 14^th, 2018.

If you have any questions or concerns or would like more information, please contact the office.

Sincerely,

Claudia Fischer
