Dear McKee Community,
You are invited to attend this month's School Council Meeting on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Join us for updates and discussions about upcoming McKee events. Babysitting and food are provided. See you there Dear McKee community,
Just a reminder that this month's SAC meeting will be held on Thursday, January 24th (originally scheduled for the 23rd). More details on the agenda to follow! The latest news release from the Ministry of Education regarding Bill 115 is available at this LINK.
The following excerpt comes from this document: "Laurel Broten, Minister of Education, approved all 65 locally negotiated and ratified agreements submitted by school boards prior to the Dec. 31, 2012 deadline set out in the Putting Students First Act. CUPE has been given until Jan. 14 to ratify 110 local agreements." According to the TDSB, with the new contracts in place, unions will no longer be in a legal strike position. Labour relations updates can be found here. Following excerpt from John Filion's e-News:
"As the transit debate continues across the City, I will be working to bring the issue into focus with a panel of transit experts at our Ward 23 Public Transit Forum. The goal will be to engage in discussion and build consensus towards a long-term, sustainably funded, city-wide transit plan. As you know, this is a cornerstone of my recently published 7-point Traffic Taming plan. Your input and feedback would be greatly valued. The forum takes place on Wednesday, January 30th from 7 to 9 PM in the Council Chambers at the North York Civic Centre at 5100 Yonge Street. This will be the first in a series of meetings discussing strategies to manage our local transportation challenges." Dear McKee Parents and Guardians,
This is just a reminder that we have a meeting tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. of the school advisory council. The agenda will include a report from the principal about progress report cards as well as wireless technology at McKee and the upcoming Dance-a-thon. Food and babysitting will be provided. Hope to see you there, McKee SAC Public announcement from the office of John Filion:
Please note that Yonge Steet northbound (south of Sheppard)will be restricted to 1 lane from 12:01 AM, Saturday, November 17 through to 3:00 AM, Monday, November 19. Detour routes will be posted at York Mills (route to Bayview) and at Poyntz Avenue (route to Beecroft). As the 401 is not under the City's jurisdiction, detour signs on the highway are not possible, but residents travelling into Willowdale from the highway may wish to use an alternate exit. Sign on to the councillor's e-mailing list is a great way to get such community information first hand. Residents can sign-up at www.johnfilion.ca Julie Costanzo, a parent at McKee, is raising money for Prostate Cancer by selling Fingerstaches to for $1.
