Reminder – 2022-2023 Consent Forms

In previous years, the WQSB has asked for consent in three areas – publication, internet usage and releasing information to Centre Intégré de santé de Service Sociaux.
In previous years this has been completed on the Mozaik Portal; unfortunately, this year the options were not available through the portal for you as the parent/guardian to consent.
Therefore, the attached form has been sent home as a hard copy.
We ask that you take the time to review the consent form and return it to the school by Monday October 24^th, 2022.
This will ensure the continuation of services and allow the school to respect each parent/guardian’s consent based upon the three categories.

Reminder – 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

Reminder – 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
