Full Day Kindergarten Update In September, we will welcome 120 Full Day Kindergarten students to IRC! The Kindergarten classes will include both Junior and Senior Kindergarten students in each of our four classrooms. Based on our planning, each of the kindergarten programs will have approximately 30 students in a class with a teacher, an Early Childhood Educator and a lunchroom supervisor. Due to parent interest, we are fortunate to be able to offer a Before and After Care program for our kindergarten families in September. The YMCA will be offering this program for approximately 40 children. In order to accommodate our increasing student population; we will need an additional portable classroom for September 2014. --------------------------------------------- June Goodbyes to IRC Staff: The following IRC staff will be moving onto new opportunities next year: Mr. Beach Ms. Das Ms. Fraser Ms. Giraldi Ms. Karkavitsas Ms. Lopes Mr. McGinn Ms. Maddison Ms. Rutherford Special Needs Assistants: Mr. Avalos & Ms. Hardie Please join me in thanking these wonderful staff members for their commitment to our students and community.

I liked contacting people with the walkie talkie. It must be hard keeping track of everything in the school, even though we have a small school. Thanks for being an awesome principal!

We are excited to tell you that Indian Road Crescent P.S. will have solar panels installed on its roof this summer. Construction will begin on July 7, 2014 and be completed by September 2014. During this time you will see some construction taking place around the school which includes workers on the roof installing the solar panels as well as some work on the south side of the school, by the caretaking entrance off Humberside. The Solar Schools Project is an exciting initiative that will see solar panels installed on the roofs of 311 TDSB schools starting in the summer of 2014. As one of the greenest school boards in Canada, TDSB is proud that this project will generate energy equivalent to the amount used annually by approximately 4,250 households in Toronto. The revenue generated from the solar panel installation will be used to fund school rooftop repairs and replacements. Over the course of the project, approximately 4.3 million square feet of school roofs will be repaired or replaced. IRC teachers will be encouraged to take advantage of the solar infrastructure that will be built to engage your child in the ongoing debate about the global impact of energy use on the environment and in particular, the specific decisions that need to be made in Ontario to reduce the impact of our own energy consumption. As a certified EcoSchool, we are very excited about this project. Thank you to everyone for your tolerance during the roof repairs that took place this past month in preparation for the solar panels.
