Administrative Message/Message De La Direction
As the air starts to cool and the beautiful leaves fall to the ground, we begin to see student
engagement and learning take flight. Strong Beginnings/Bon Départ days are always valuable to
teachers as they get to spend more time observing, assessing, and learning how their students
think. This in turn helps teachers plan for their students in ways that will optimize student
potential. Your child’s classroom teacher will be in contact with you within the next two weeks to
discuss the Strong Beginnings/Bon Départ findings.
One of our school goals this year, focuses on positive mental health. Trying to get enough sleep,
proper nutrition and some physical activity can help balance daily stressors. Positive mental health
allows us to face challenges and handle difficult situations more easily. ESAS is dedicated to
addressing the needs of our students and staff in supportive ways. If you are anyone you know
needs help, please reach out. Our school guidance counsellor Mrs. Kelly Burtnyk is always willing to
share resources and provide support. Kelly.burtnyk@srsd.ca
I wanted to share my gratitude for how well our school community is doing with the continued
public health orders. Our students, families, support staff, custodians, teachers, and admin.
assistant continue to work collaboratively to keep everyone as safe as possible. We truly have the
best community around!
The last week in October is always an exciting time! Look for more information about our Spirit
Week at the end of this month. Please remember that if you are sending treats for your child,
they are not to be shared and are NUT-FREE.
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a fabulous fall.

2/3 – Mrs. Martinussen September has been a busy month of learning routines of the classroom and school. Becoming familiar with math tools and games are some of the things we have doing so far in math. We love having our own decks of cards and have played many games of Kings so far. Representing numbers with dice, domino, ten frame and finger patterns has been fun practicing with memory cards. Our decomposing machines have been helpful with our understanding of subtraction and what a subtraction equation means. We each have our own 100 chart and addition chart which we have been practicing seeing patterns and then sharing our understanding on the SmartBoard. Greg Tang Math is a new website for us and we have been advancing through the levels of Ten Frame Mania. Check out some of the pictures of us with all of our new tools and games.
News from the Library
Hooray for our new library space!!! It has been wonderful seeing the reactions on the
student’s faces as they walk in our brand-new library, with ample seating, mini sofas, booths,
and tables set up like a little café, and brand-new books on display! Mme. Lavergne has
enjoyed reading stories and helping kids choose books to take home. Seeing the student’s
enthusiasm and love for reading in their new space has been a pleasure to watch!
Happy Reading!
We Are Looking For A Roots of Empathy Family!
If you have a baby in your family born between May and August of this year, we would love
for you to be our school's Roots of Empathy Family! Roots of Empathy is a program
designed to reduce aggression, increase sharing, caring and inclusion and promotes
resilience, well-being, and positive mental health. This is all done with the help of a baby!
Through monthly, in-person visits, the Roots of Empathy Class learns valuable life lessons
from the baby and one of his or her caregivers. If you are interested in participating or
learning more about the program, please contact the program facilitator, Kelly Burtnyk at
kelly.burtnyk@srsd.ca.
1/2 Immersion – Mme Howard and Mme Gobeil Students had the opportunity to participate in a Story Walk to honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. They listened to the story “Les Mots Volés” by Melanie Florence. This book is about a little girl and her grandfather who was placed in a residential school when he was young and lost his language. Upon our return to school, each student tied an orange ribbon on the fence in front of the school.
Phys. Ed. with Mme Chantal The Terry Fox Run and the grade 5-8 Cross Country days were both huge successes. It was amazing to see and hear the comradery and spirit put forth by everyone! We are pleased to announce that over $1200.00 was collected for the Terry Fox Foundation. Merci Mme Chantal for all your hard work in organizing these fun days! Volleyball season is starting up soon! There will be more information to come over the next couple of weeks.

To SRSD Parents and Guardians,
I would like to take a quick moment to explain the challenges and delays you have been
experiencing with our Transportation Department this year.
Typically, at the start of the year, we have 200-300 new applications for transportation,
however this year we have had over 800. We believe this is mainly due to our growing
division and new housing developments going up in so many of our communities.
Another issue we have been facing is an unusually extreme shortage of bus drivers that
we did not forecast happening.
Having explained these extenuating circumstances, we also accept that we need to do
better. So, we will endeavour to regroup and reassess our practices, communications and
look at our routing systems to find areas where we can improve our service to you in our
communities. Recruiting bus drivers will be paramount in this process as well.
In the meantime, I am asking for your patience and support if we haven’t responded to
your request yet. We want our transportation system to be safe and efficient.
In closing I want to acknowledge our school principals, secretaries and trustees who have
been very supportive during this challenging time. We are committed to rise to the
challenges identified above and strive to provide the service that you expect from us.
Sincerely,
Simon Laplante
Co-Superintendent

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY
CHILD IS SICK?
Students should stay home from school if they are sick, no matter how mild the symptoms.
Household members without symptoms do not need to self-isolate as long as the sick individual has
not been identified as a close contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case or traveled outside of Manitoba
in the past 14 days.
If a student displays any symptom of illness while at school, they will be isolated and their parent/
guardian will be contacted to pick them up.
If your child has ONE symptom from Column A, they should get tested for COVID-19.
If your child has TWO symptoms from Column B, they should get tested for COVID-19.
If your child has only one symptom from Column B, they should stay home. They may only return to
school once they are symptom-free for 24 hours.
If your child is sick and NOT tested for COVID—They MUST stay home for 10 days from
the onset of symptoms
COLUMN A COLUMN B
Do you have a new onset, or Do you have a new onset , or
worsening of any ONE of the worsening of any TWO of the
following symptoms? following symptoms?
• Fever > 38°C or think you have a fever or • Runny nose
chills • Muscle aches
• Cough • Fatigue
• Sore throat / hoarse voice • Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
• Shortness of breath / breathing • Headache
difficulties • Skin rash of unknown cause
• Loss of taste or smell • Nausea or loss of appetite
• Vomiting or diarrhea for more than 24 hours • Poor feeding (if an infant)
When can my child return to school?
NEGATIVE: They can return to school after 24 hours of
being symptom-free.
POSITIVE: Public Health will provide guidance regarding
what is required before your child can return to school.
Revised September 20, 2021When does a household need to self-isolate?
Household members without symptoms do not need to self-isolate
(quarantine) while awaiting the sick individual’s test result as long as the sick
individual has not been identified as a close contact of a confirmed
COVID-19 case or traveled outside of Manitoba in the past 14 days.
It is recommended that household members wear a mask and physically
distance where possible when outside the household in these
circumstances, and avoid leaving the home for non-essential reasons.
The symptomatic individual needs to stay in their own room and, if possible,
use their own bathroom and not use common areas.
If anyone in your household is a close
contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case:
If the close contact develops
COVID-19 symptoms, all house-

unless household members are
asymptomatic and exempt.
Close contacts who are required to self-isolate
(quarantine) are recommended to go for testing at 7
days after their last exposure to the case, or if
symptoms develop. Regardless of whether the
close contact tests negative, they must complete
their 10 days of self-isolation (quarantine).
*Public health officials will help determine whether you or any-
one in your household is exempt from needing to self-isolate.
If an individual is unwell but is not required to get a COVID-19 test
based on the Screening Tool (ie: only one symptom from Column B),
the individual must stay home until they are symptom free for 24 hours.
For example, if a student feels unwell (ie: they have only one symptom
from Column B) on a Monday, the soonest they can return to school is
Wednesday. This is because they need to be symptom free for 24
hours.

Rethinking Rewards
Should Food be Used as a Reward?
While food is an important part of celebrations
and is meant to be enjoyed, breaking the link
between food and good behaviour can help
promote a healthy relationship with food.
• IF you use food as rewards, it can:
o Increase a child’s desire for the reward
food which is often sweets.
o Make it hard for children to listen to
their natural hunger and fullness cues.
Did you know? o Teach kids to expect food when
they've done something well.
The type of rewards o Increase risk of dental cavities.

Repenser les récompenses
NUTRITIONNELLES
Les aliments doivent-ils être
utilisés comme récompense?
Même si les aliments sont très importants lors des
célébrations et sont censés être appréciés, rompre le lien
entre ces derniers et un bon comportement peut aider à
promouvoir une relation saine avec eux.
• SI vous utilisez des aliments comme récompense, cela
peut :
o Augmenter le désir des enfants pour les aliments
offerts en guise de récompense, qui sont
souvent des bonbons.
o Faire qu'il soit difficile pour les enfants d'écouter
