Dear Parents and Guardians:
Semester 1 final exams are scheduled to begin on January 27. They will take place one per day following the student’s timetable as indicated below. If your child is ill during exams, you must contact the school the morning of the scheduled exam and supply the school with a Doctor’s note as soon as possible.
We would ask that parents arrange transportation so that students can make their way home immediately following the completion of exams. Buses will operate following the normal day schedule during the exam period for students who cannot arrange transportation. Any student who remains at school is expected to get prior approval from their teacher and remain in a prearranged designated area for the remainder of the day. Students will not be allowed to wander the halls or loiter in or around the school.
Teachers will review exam outlines with students as some final evaluations will take place before the formal examination timetable and some students will, therefore, not be required to attend school on examination days.
Good luck on your exams! No cell phones or personal electronic devices allowed during exams.

VERMICULITE FOUND @ 7 SCHOOLS
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board recently discovered vermiculite in 11 buildings, seven of them currently operating schools. Vermiculite is a kind of insulation that was used commonly in older buildings. It is known to contain a very small amount of asbestos. The vermiculite was used in those schools’ block walls, and in between the outside and inside walls. Health and environmental experts have advised the Board that, as long as the vermiculite is isolated, sealed and in good condition, it does not pose a hazard. This is the case in the schools where it was found. Please note that vermiculite was not found in our school. To see the letter that went home to parents at the seven schools, please see the home page at www.kprschools.ca

The Kawartha Pine Ridge DSB is now looking to gather input into our 2012-2013 School Year Calendar. The Option A and B Calendar Survey will be posted on the Board's website www.kprschools.ca under "In the Spotlight" on the home page. All stakeholders (students, parents/guardians, staff, community) input is appreciated and will be reviewed and considered in making final recommendations for board and ministry approval.

New Nutrition Policy for 2011-12
A new school nutrition policy affecting food and beverages sold to students goes into effect in all elementary and secondary schools for the 2011-12 school year.
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board’s policy meets Ministry of Education requirements. The goal is to make all schools as healthy as possible, since research shows well-nourished students tend to do better in school. The new policy applies to all food and drinks sold in schools - whether in cafeterias or vending machines - and at school events, including bake sales and sports events. It also applies to school programs such as catered lunches and pizza days.
The nutrition policy does not apply to lunches or snacks that students bring from home. Parents and guardians are still the ones who decide what goes into their child’s or teen’s lunch box.
The policy divides food and beverages into three categories:
Sell Most - These products must make up at least 80% of all food and drink choices available. They have more nutrients and less fat, sugar and salt. This includes items such as fresh fruit and vegetables and lower fat milk.
Sell Less - These products must make up 20% or less of all food and drink choices. They may have slightly higher amounts of fat, sugar or sodium than items in the Sell Most category. This includes items such as baked snacks.
Not Permitted for Sale - These products generally are not nutritious and have high amounts of fat, sugar or sodium. This includes chocolate bars and deep fried foods. Food and beverages in this category may not be sold in schools.
Schools have already been moving in this direction for several years, and many local caterers and lunch providers have already made the switch. For pizza suppliers, for example, this includes offering whole grain crust, lower fat cheese, lean meat and vegetable toppings, and low sodium tomato sauce.
For additional information, please call the school or see the new Nutrition Policy posted at www.kprschools.ca Details on the provincial nutrition standards are posted at www.ontario.ca/healthyschools, in Healthy Foods for Healthy Schools.
