No Cell Phones please: As is stated in the Student Planner, cell phones and cell phones with cameras compromise the safety and privacy of everyone in our school and therefore are not permitted in the school or on school property.
Character Development: All of us want to feel physically and emotionally safe at school. At Ecole Hepworth Central Public School the staff and students work hard to learn the ten Bluewater Character attributes and we incorporate one of them each month into our curriculum and our day to day work. December's attribute is Caring. To develop this attribute, students in the school have the opportunity to contribute to our annual food drive and to raise funds for a school in Liberia. Our anti-bullying program is tied into everything we do here at HEP. Students learn by experience how to help each other, solve problems, correct their mistakes and develop lasting friendships with their peers with the guidance of their teachers. We are working toward creating a community atmosphere in our school where
everyone feels welcomed and included. Please feel free to contact the school if you have questions about our program of Character Development.
MedicAlert’s No Child Without Program is at Our School: The No Child Without program offers a free MedicAlert membership to students who attend our school and are between the ages of 4 up to their 14th birthday. If your child has a medical condition, allergy or is required to take medication on a regular basis then you should consider a MedicAlert membership through this program.
Your child’s voice in an emergency, MedicAlert membership;
· Gives emergency first responders immediate access to your child’s medical information on their MedicAlert bracelet or necklet
· Enables first responders to quickly obtain up to date medical information by means of the child’s Electronic Health Record through the 24 Hour Emergency Hotline.
· Communicates with the parent or emergency contact upon activation of the Hotline
· Allows free updates of the child’s medical record as needed
MedicAlert identification can alert school staff, friends, coaches and others about your child’s medical condition should an emergency occur.
For further information come to the office for a brochure or visit www.nochildwithout.ca. To register your child you will need a No Child Without brochure from the office.
If your child is already part of the No Child Without program and there have been changes to his/her medical condition, medications or emergency contact information, call MedicAlert at 1-866-679-3220 Ext 1 to update your child’s file.
