Dear Parents,
Attached is information on the plan of the Ottawa Student Transit Authority (OSTA) to make bell times fifteen minutes later at Alta Vista Public School beginning in September 2015 (i.e. school days would be 9:15-3:45 instead of 9:00-3:30 as they are currently).
OSTA is currently gathering responses from members of school communities who either agree with or disagree with the appropriateness of the changes they are proposing, which are designed to make the coordination of school buses more efficient. OSTA is running an online survey in which parents may explain why and how they might be inconvenienced by proposed changes. The survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OSTAsurvey
OSTA is also holding an open consultation evening on Wednesday, April 2nd from 7-9 p.m. at Brookfield High School (824 Brookfield Road) to consult parents on their thoughts about these changes.
Alta Vista School Council strongly recommends that parents who will be inconvenienced by these changes to the bell times at Alta Vista Public School fill out the survey and, if possible, attend the consultation. We have received indication that OSTA may respond attentively to a high volume of responses from the school community.
Thank you for your support.
We are still accepting donations in support of the kindergarten playground structure. We remain about $9000 short of our goal, but are very confident that we will meet that goal.
For information on how to donate, please visit our website at https://www.altavistacouncil.com/?page_id=634 .
We were very fortunate to have received our first Corporate Donation from Haughton Financial, an AVPS parent-owned business. Thank you to all of our generous donors for their support!
Although not a council event, an AVPS parent has shared the following information on KidyKode workshops, starting March 22nd, 2014 at Rideau High School. These are free workshops teaching kids computational thinking concepts using the popular visual programming language Scratch.
