On February 27, in the St. Marguerite d'Youville Catholic School Gym, from 6:30-7:30, join, Dr. Elizabeth Paquette, Mental Health Lead OCSB to learn about supporting our children and youth in stressful times. After a tragic event, be it local, national or international, it may be difficult for families to know what to do to support their children and youth who may have been impacted by the event. In this session we will discuss how caring adults can help children to understand their emotions and engage in positive coping behaviours following such an incident. Caring adults cannot support their children and youth without also taking care of themselves. We will discuss some practical strategies for self care.

Recently, Ottawa Public Health has informed the school that some of our students do not yet have up-to-date immunization records. Under the authority of the Immunization of School Pupils Act, your child will not be able to attend school as of Wednesday, February 6th, 2019 unless/until their records are updated with Ottawa Public Health. Please submit records to Ottawa Public Health, NOT the school. Ottawa Public Health will inform the school when immunizations have been updated and the child can return to school.

In order to avoid this occurrence, please update Ottawa Public Health right away.
