Dear Floradale Families,

April was another busy month at Floradale. We enjoyed many wonderful activities and celebra-

tions of learning during Peel Board’s Education Week. Thank you to the many families who took

the time to come out to attend these events.

A reminder that Grade 3s and 6s will be writing EQAO at the end of May (see dates in Newslet-

ter).

Now that the weather is getting warmer, please remember to send your child with a reusable wa-

ter bottle to stay hydrated and please apply sunscreen prior to coming to school.

Mrs. Curry-Sharples Mrs. Stanley

Principal Vice-Principal

Being on time is a Life Skill

It is very important to be on time for school. It shows that you value school and have a positive

attitude towards schoolwork. When children arrive to school on time:

¨ They do not miss out on instruction

¨ They are not embarrassed by being late

¨ They are more relaxed and ready to learn

When children are late, they become anxious, upset and it can be disruptive

to those already at work. Please help your child(ren) get the most out of their learning.

Floradale puts the spotlight on Asian Heritage

In December 2001, the Senate adopted a motion proposed by Senator Vivienne Poy to offi-cially designate May as Asian Heritage Month in Canada. In May 2002, the Government of Canada signed an official declaration to designate May as Asian Heritage Month.

Throughout May, students, staff and parents from across Peel will participate in a number of activities that promote the understanding of the many contributions made by Asian Canadi-ans.

Here is a list of Asian Heritage Month events happening at Floradale:

Celebrating and Promoting Children’s Mental Health

Children’s Mental Health Week is happening May 5-11 in Ontario. It’s a time to focus on the important ways we can promote and nurture the mental health and well-being of our children.

Mental Health: A State Of Well-Being

Did you know that we ALL have mental health? It is more than just the absence of illness. Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes their own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contri-bution to their community (World Health Organization). Indigenous teaching reminds us that mental wellness is a balance of the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional parts of ourselves and is enriched when individuals experience purpose, hope, belonging and meaning in their lives (First Nations Mental Wellness Continuum Framework). A child’s mental health is just as important as their physical health when it comes to success at school, in friendships and in life.

Here are some key tips and strategies to nurture your child’s mental health and resilience from your PDSB Mental Health Resource Team:

Safe, responsive relationships between adults and children is our greatest tool for promoting positive development and mental health in youth. When a child has consistent, caring adults in their life both at home and in the community, when they know they are loved and valued no matter what, and have someone trusted they can turn to when a problem arises, their resilience is bolstered.

Listen and validate feelings. Encourage children to talk about their thoughts and feelings, and show lots of love and acceptance. Keep the conversation flowing by asking open-ended questions and spending quality time together at mealtimes and by participating together in activities your child en-joys.

Help Your Child Develop a Positive Sense of Self. A child’s self-perception is linked with their mental health. Help them set realistic goals; praise them for effort as well as achievement by providing genu-ine, realistic praise. Foster positive connections with their cultural or faith community. A child with high self-esteem believes they are a good person, understands their positive qualities and strives for a successful, happy life.

Model and Teach Healthy Ways to Manage Stress. While it’s important to try to protect your child from over-whelming or toxic stress, not all stress is bad. In fact, some stress helps us motivate and prepare us to perform our best, and there is bound to be some stress after a disagreement with friends or being cut from a sports team. Give your child the tools they need to cope with stress and big feelings in a healthy way: establish healthy habits including exercise, getting enough sleep and proper nutrition; practicing gratitude and deep breathing, journalling or talking with a trusted adult are just a few examples.

Notice Changes and Reach Out for Help. If you notice signs that your child feels sad or overly anxious about normal situations like going to school or meeting new people, take note. A change in mood or behaviour that lasts more than two weeks, impacting social problems, academic issues or family problems could be sign of a mental health concern. Keep the lines of communication open with your child’s teacher and other caring adults in their life to discuss observations. Remember, there is no age too early for a child or family to see a mental health provider; in fact, it might benefit the whole family by providing resources and support to caregivers who may be struggling, too.

Where Can I Get Help?

At school, your child can reach out to their teacher, coach, guidance teacher or school administrator as a starting point, to talk about their mental health. Every PDSB school is also assigned Social Work and Psychology staff to provide consultation and direct service to students, and assist students and families to get connected to helpful resources in the community.

In the community, visit www.WhereToStart.ca to access mental health services for children and youth in Peel. For a quick guide to mental health resources, visit bit.ly/PeelYouthResources.

What is an IEP?

Education is full of acronyms and IEP is one of many that a parent/guardian of a child receiving special education support will encounter.

An IEP is an Individual Education Plan. Developed at the beginning of the school year, it lays out the accommodations and modifications to the regular curriculum that help your child learn and be successful. No formal identification is needed but you, the parent/guardian should be involved in the development as you provide valuable input. It can be overwhelming so there are pamphlets, webpages, and Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) representatives who can help you understand and make informed contributions.

May is Better Speech and Hearing Month. Let's thank the professionals who help our children with their speech and language challenges.

Using social media safely

With the growing number of social media sites, it is no surprise that social media is the most common form of communication for children and teenagers. Posts, status updates, comments, instant messages, video up-loads, tweets and texts have become a regular part of their lives. While there are many positive benefits to us-ing social media, including staying connected with friends and expressing your interests, students must be cautious in their use of these networks.

Among the most popular social media platforms used are Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube and Whatsapp Messenger. Many of these platforms are free and are available on smartphones and other elec-tronic devices. These platforms are easy to navigate and often allow information to be shared instantly, not only with friends, but with strangers. On social media, it is important to remember that the world is watching.

Here are some tips, provided by the Canadian Safe School Network and GetSafeOnline.org, to keep your chil-dren safe and help them make smart choices when using social media:

Set some boundaries for your child before they get their first ‘connected device’ (mobile, tablet, laptop or

games console). Once they have it, it can be more difficult to change the way they use it or the settings.

Have a conversation about what is appropriate online behaviour and what actions could have huge repercus-sions that could damage their reputation and be harmful to others.

Talk to your child about the kind of websites they look at. Encourage them to speak to you if they come across

something they find worrying or upsetting on websites, games or social media.

Discuss with your child what is safe and appropriate to post and share online. Written comments, photos and

videos all form part of their ‘digital footprint’ and could be seen by anyone and available on the internet for-

ever, even if it is subsequently deleted.

Explain to your child that being online doesn’t give them anonymity or protection, and that they shouldn’t do anything online that they wouldn’t do face-to-face. Users should only accept people they know in order to protect themselves from spammers, strangers and others who may be using social networking sites to commit crimes.

Unlike when they’re meeting someone face-to-face, children don’t always know who they’re actually ‘talking’ to

online, even if they think they do. Tell your children they must never email, chat, or text with strangers, and

it’s never okay to meet a stranger in the real world.

Ensure your children set their privacy settings appropriately. Take the time to learn how privacy settings work

on your children’s favourite sites, and teach them how to control their privacy.

Tell your children never to share personal and private information with anyone online. This includes, but is not limited to, his or her full name, age, birth date, address, phone number, social insurance number, credit card information and parents’ full names.

Limit the amount of time that your children spend on social media platforms and talk about the importance of healthy and appropriate use of technology.

This club wouldn't have been possible with out Ms. Kemeny, Ms. Lane, Mr. Winship and Ms. Palmer as the leaders and all of the teachers who have come out to help...Ms. Webb, Ms Persad, Ms. Lumia, Ms. Smith, Ms. Daley and Mr. Douglas.

“Tap Water Thursdays” and the Healthy Beverages Challenge at

Floradale - Results from the March Challenge 2019

The goal of the Healthy Beverages Challenge is for all students in each class to

have a filled re-usable water bottle present on their desk at all times!

This school year, we have been working with Peel Public Health to create a school

environment that promotes drinking water. This is one of the ways we’re ensuring

that healthy choices are the norm in our school and laying a foundation for positive

life-long habits!

Did you know…

Drinking water from a reusable container is eco-friendly

Drinking water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages reduces the risk of cavi-

ties and tooth decay.

Floradale Public School is committed to making changes in the school that make

the healthy choice, the easy choice!

We completed our second challenge during the month of March and are pleased to

announce the results:

70.4% of our students had a filled re-usable water bottle on their desks, dur-

ing the Tap Water Thursday challenge! The students from 4A in Ms. McLach-

lan’s class and 1C Ms. Khan’s class were the overall winners of the chal-

lenge, with each student receiving a re-usable water bottle with the Floradale

Logo! Congratulations to 4A & 1C!

Our final Healthy Beverages Challenge begins in June 2019, so let’s work to-

gether to increase our participation and the number of re-usable water bottles in the

school.

Remember H2O to go! Take your reusable water bottle everywhere you go and sip

throughout the day!

Thank you to the Floradale Families for supporting and joining our Healthy Beverages Pledge!
