Alta Vista School Council

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.

On Saturday, December 6th, 2014, Council will be hosting a Holiday Bazaar and Winter Gear Sale (skis, skates, sleds, etc) at the school starting at 10 am. We will be renting tables for $20 each if anyone has something to sell (e.g. handmade jewelry, crafts, jams and jellies etc).

If you would like to rent a table or help organise/volunteer at the Bazaar, please contact Barb at raoul@magma.ca

To volunteer at, or for information about the Winter Gear Sale, please contact Mike at furlong_mike@yahoo.ca

Our Movie Night Team really needs some new volunteers, starting with this month’s movie night on Friday, October 24. We need people who can be available around 5:00 pm. If you can’t arrive by 5:00, that’s ok too. We’d still love to have you help out!

Movie nights are usually held the last Friday of each month. This month’s is being held a week early since Halloween falls on the last Friday of the month.

If you can spare some time to volunteer for the October movie night or with future nights, please let us know by email at altavistasc@gmail.com or via a Facebook message at https://www.facebook.com/avschoolcouncil

The-ever popular Movie Nights, coordinated by School Council, will kick off this year with a showing of “Muppets Most Wanted” on Friday, October 24th. Doors open at 5:30 pm, and the movie starts at 6:00 pm in the gym. There is no charge to attend Movie Night. Limited quantities of hot dogs, popcorn, and other treats will be sold in the kitchen.

Movie nights are usually held the last Friday of each month. October’s Movie Night is being held a week early because the last Friday of the month is Halloween.
