The Community Partnership Developers (CPD) provide direct support for students and families through partnerships with community organizations and social service agencies.
We support students and families with:
community outreach and engagement
nutrition and food supports
parenting supports and education
student and parent engagement
early years and transition to high school
locating services and/or community resources
mental health
basic needs (food, clothing, shelter)
If at any time, you are facing difficulties or challenges, we invite you to contact a member of your CPD East Area Team directly.
Last week we shared about a number of health-related forms that need to be completed for students with anaphylactic and/or other medical conditions. These forms have now been updated to allow you to fill them in electronically, and they are linked below.
If your child has an anaphylactic condition please complete an Anaphylactic Health Care Plan. Similarly, complete an Asthma Health Care Plan, a Type 1 Diabetes Health Care Plan or an Epilepsy/Seizure Disorder Health Care Plan, as needed. Finally, if your child has any other medical condition please complete a general Health Care Plan. We’d kindly ask that any of these forms be completed and sent in with your child at your earliest convenience, as appropriate.
Please note, these forms must be completed annually for children with an anaphylactic and/or other medical conditions. We thank our community for their help with gathering this important information.
We ask that you please inform the school if you are planning to move out of the Central Park neighbourhood this school year or over the summer. This information is valuable to our planning and organizational process for the upcoming 2019-2020 school year. Your consideration is very much appreciated.
We kindly ask that parents and guardians provide an email or written note to the office detailing forthcoming extended absences. Our safe arrival protocol requires that we have an account of the whereabouts of every child. Verbal consent will not suffice in this insistence so please ensure that all communication is clear and directed to both the classroom teacher and the office. Once again, your cooperation in ensuring the safety of all children is valued.
We continue to have parents bring in food items from these establishments and we respectively request that parents refrain from the practice. Central Park is a peanut free environment due to the numerous students who may suffer the effects of anaphylaxis – a deathly reaction to allergens such as peanuts or peanut by-products. These establishments (McDonald’s and Tim Hortons) no longer ensure that their products are peanut-free in which case we kindly ask that families respect the safety of our children and not send these food items to school. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
