Tomorrow marks the first Movie Night of the school year! The feature presentation will be Muppets Most Wanted. Doors open at 5:30 pm and the movie will begin at 6:00 pm. Limited quantities of hot dogs and drinks will be sold. Donations of baked goods are always welcome.
Hope to see you there!
In light of today’s very sad incidents, and the resulting response by the OCDSB, we’d like to share the following information in hopes that it will be helpful in responding to your children’s questions and alleviating any concerns they might have.
Thank you to the school and all others who helped keep our children safe and comfortable during the ‘shelter in place’.

Thanks everyone.
Our Principal, Nancy Reid, is keeping the Alta Vista Public School website up to date with the most recent information. This is the current message:
October 22 (1:45 p.m.) — The Shelter-in-Place has been lifted. All students are safe. Teaching is continuing and circulation throughout the building is normal. Students will be dismissed as usual at the end of the day.
AVPS is in “Shelter in Place” mode. This means that the children are resuming their regular activities inside the school, they can travel through the hallways to go to gym and library. However, the doors are still locked and no one is allowed to come in or out of the school. This is being done as a precaution and is the safest, and most organized way to respond to the events this morning.
All after school and evening activities in the OCDSB have been cancelled for today, therefore the Candidates’ Meeting and School Council Meeting tonight have been cancelled. A rescheduled date will be provided in the next couple of days.
Check the OCDSB website for further updates. The OCDSB is also actively tweeting updates.
