The Intermediate Students at Sunnybrae will be entering the CBC Music Playlist Challenge. For the competition we are tasked with creating a playlist of fifteen songs that move our mood (four of which must be by Canadians). We are reaching out to the school community to help us generate a list of songs that we should consider for our playlists. So, get listening Bulldogs, and let us know what music moves you! Your submissions can be entered using the google form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc-RhVyi9otzxCgumSTQZ6Y4XMxhuNvJ-gfNJtixoPNMQ8Vnw/viewform?usp=sf_link or using the ballot box by the main office.
Early learning and child care: The Simcoe County EarlyON Child and Family Centres have locations throughout Simcoe County. These centres offer a variety of services including programs that help prepare children and parents for kindergarten. Programming will be offered in the spring of 2023.

Child care programs available on PA days, holidays and March Break: Child care programs for children in Kindergarten to Grade 6 are provided by independent, third-party child care operators in some SCDSB schools. To support your child care needs, some operators offer child care on PA days and holidays, including over the March Break (Mar. 13 to 17). Registration in advance is required. Please contact the child care operator directly to discuss fees and to register.

Notice to students and parents/guardians of students regarding out-of-area-requests: Under Simcoe County District School Board procedures (APM A7000 – School Attendance Areas), it is possible for students to apply for and receive permission to attend an out-of-attendance-area school. Students will be permitted to continue in attendance as long as there are pupil places available. They may be required to return to their home school or transfer to another school when the capacity of the school they are attending has been reached and space is required for students residing within the designated attendance areas. An approval may be revoked at any time by the superintendent of education, after consultation with the receiving school principal, for reasons related to the student’s behaviour, attendance, actions or inactions. Transportation to and from school is the responsibility of the out-of-attendance-area student and/or parent/guardian.
Covid Screening: All students and staff are encouraged to complete the daily COVID-19 self-assessment screening tool
prior to entering SCDSB schools and buildings and follow the direction of the screening tool. We have some RA Test kits here at the school. If you need one for your family please let your child’s teacher know and we will send it home with them. School and Child Care Screening
