The OCDSB has proposed changes stemming from their ongoing Elementary Program Review. The proposed changes are wide ranging and will impact all members of our community.
School Council would like to open channels of discussion with our community to ensure that members are aware of where they can go should they have questions. Community members are also encouraged to attend our Council meetings held monthly on the third Wednesday of the month.
School Council will continue to follow the proposal, connect with other schools and interested parties regarding the proposal and will inform of any opportunities to provide feedback to the Board about the proposal.
Any parents or community members looking to get involved or who have more questions, please reach out to us at sc-altavistaps@ocdsb.ca.

Alta Vista School Council is pleased to invite your family to our next Family Movie Night on Friday, January 31, 2025.
We’ll be showing Bolt, rated PG (1 hour 36 minutes). Doors and concession open at 5:30 pm, and the movie starts at 6 pm!
Admission is free! There will be hotdogs, goodies, and juice boxes for sale as a council fundraiser towards Music/Band/Orchestra initiatives.
In order to keep this event as eco-friendly as we can, we’re encouraging families to bring their own reusable dish ware for their movie night food and snacks. Families are encouraged to bring cups or water bottles that can be refilled in the kitchen.
Children are welcome to wear their PJs and bring blankets, pillows and stuffies to get comfy in the gym. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
As always, the movie night organizers are grateful for the support of parent volunteers to help make movie night events a success. To sign up, please contact Dean Blachford.
Please consider bringing nut-free baked goods (homemade or store bought) for the concession by dropping them off at the office on the day of or bringing them to the movie night.
Please contact Dean Blachford.
We hope to see you and your family there!
