Good Morning Eardley Community,
I hope this email finds you all well on this rainy Wednesday. I have a short but important update, please see below.
School Travel Plan
- Eardley Elementary School is involved in the development of a School Travel Plan (plan de déplacements scolaire) by MOBI-O and the City of Gatineau.
- This project aims to improve the management of travels around the school, and to improve safety, with a focus on active travels (on foot, by bike, etc.) between home and school.
- Your answers as a parent/guardian are particularly important throughout this process.
- If you wish to participate, the survey is accessible at the following link: https://mobi-o.limesurvey.net/996213?lang=en
Community Engagement
- This year Eardley Elementary has received new provincial funding to have a Community Learning Centre (CLC).
- The Community Learning Centre (CLC) approach is the creation and promotion of partnerships which provide a range of services and activities, during and after the school day, to help meet the needs of our learners, their families and the wider community. The aim is to support the holistic development of our students, families and communities.
- In order to understand and meet the needs of our learners we need to hear from you – the parents & guardians. We are asking for you to participate in this short (five minute) survey to better understand the needs of our community

School Day Schedule
- A friendly reminder to all parent(s) & guardian(s) that the school bell rings at 7:55am. The students have travelling time from 7:55am – 8:00am and first period starts promptly at 8:00am.
- Any student arriving after the bell will be considered “late” and will be recorded as so.
- Frequent late arrivals are occurring which is disrupting the morning routine.
- We ask for your support in ensuring students are arriving to school on time.
Halloween Dance
- A reminder that our Halloween Dance is next Friday, October 21st from 6:00pm – 8:00pm.
- A parent/guardian must accompany any student(s) attending the dance for the duration of the dance.
- Siblings are encouraged to attend (that includes previous students who have graduated).
- Concession stand will be available.
- Please see the attached poster with more details.
- We can’t wait to see your Halloween costumes!
As always, I am available should you have any questions or concerns.
Enjoy the remainder of your week and we look forward to welcoming our students back on Monday,
Samantha Halpin
