Welcome to PAISLEY CENTRAL SCHOOL

Thursday, March 26, 2020

Happy Thursday Everyone,

I have added an excellent slide show presentation from our gal Jackie Ralph (Canadian Mental Health) to the NEWSLETTER section of the website. The slide show walks you through many practical and user friendly resources for supporting you and your family during times like these. There are some excellent apps, websites, etc. that can be used today and into the future as needed.

Stay well everyone:)

Krista Bell - Acting Principal

Dear Paisley Central School Parent(s) and Guardian(s),

I am thinking of all of you during these challenging times. Please know the Paisley Central Principal and staff are thinking of all of you.

The provincial government has launched a new online portal to assist families with student learning during the current closure of schools due to COVID-19. I have posted the most recent letters in the NEWSLETTERS section to parents/guardians from Bluewater District School Board Director of Education Alana Murray and Ontario Minister of Education Stephen Lecce with further information on planning that is happening locally and provincially to ensure student learning continues should the current school shutdown period extend beyond April 5, 2020.

Hopefully you have received the School Messenger broadcast in the form of an email and text with the links to a letters from our Director - Alana Murray and our Minister of Education.

Details are available in the provincial government’s media release, Ontario Helping Students Learn from the Safety

of Their Own Home.

Ongoing updates and resources can also be found at: http://www.bwdsb.on.ca/Parents/COVID-19_Updates, and on our BWDSB Facebook and Twitter pages.

This online portal, which is available at Ontario.ca/learnathome, enables students at every

grade level to continue learning while away from school.

Principal’s Message

It seems like January flew by quickly! I've enjoyed getting to know the staff, students and parents of Paisley Central School thus far.

Please note that the Parent Council meeting scheduled for this Monday, Feb. 3 is cancelled. A new date will be set and communicated via our FaceBook page and school newsletter which can be found on this website and will also be linked to our FaceBook page.

In the absence of a collective agreement being reached between the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and the provincial government, ETFO will be proceeding with next week's planned strike action as previously communicated. This includes their rotating one-day full withdrawal of services impacting Bluewater District School Board on Monday, and a province wide strike scheduled for Thursday.
As a result, this is the FINAL CONFIRMATION that schools in Bluewater District School Board will be closed to elementary students only on Monday, February 3, 2020 and Thursday, February 6, 2020.
Please note that third party child care centres will remain open on these dates, and Community Education evening programs will continue to run.
All schools will be open as usual to elementary students with regular classes occurring on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday of next week.

Sincerely,

Krista Bell - Acting Principal
