Centennial Senior Public SchoolMay 2016Did you know that in the Region of Peel, over 29,000 tonnes of recyclables are thrown into thegarbage every year? This spring, our school is taking action by participating in a Region of PeelWhole School Waste Reduction Campaign. Through this campaign, we are working together toimprove waste sorting at school.During Earth Week (April 24th) Centennial’s Eco Club and Peel Region kicked off our six-weekRecycle Right Challenge. All classes in the school have been challenged to sort their wastecorrectly, with teams of student leaders monitoring waste sorting accuracy in each class’ garbageand recycling bins. At the end of the challenge, the class that sorts their waste most accuratelyover the entire challenge wins a pizza and ice cream sundae party!Through the challenge, we will also be working to reduce contamination in our recycling. Did youknow that 13% of waste tossed into recycling carts in Peel is in the wrong place? Garbage and foodtossed into the recycling stream cause issues when recyclables are sorted at Peel’s facility, and usemore fuel and energy to get to the landfill. Disposable coffee cups, aluminum foil and shreddedpaper are all examples of items that are not recyclable in Peel. Learn more at peelregion.ca/waste.Families are encouraged to take action at home too. Students are asked to look in home recyclingcarts to identify items that do not belong there. Feel free to ask your child about items you areunsure of. Together you can visit wheredoesitgo.ca, Peel’s online waste sorting search engine. Byimproving recycling as a school community, we can conserve resources and support a healthyenvironment!Peel schools honour police officers during Police Appreciation WeekThe Peel District School Board will pay tribute to police officers by holding Police Appreciation Weekfrom May 15 to 21, 2016. Peel students and staff will show their appreciation for the tremendous jobbeing done by police to protect schools, homes and communities. Police Appreciation Weekcoincides with National Police Week. National Police Week pays tribute to the work of police officersacross Canada."The Peel board appreciates the dedication and commitment of police officers who work to keepour schools and communities safe," says Janet McDougald, Peel board chair.

Centennial Senior Public SchoolMay 2016The safety of our students is our top priorityThroughout the school year, incidents in our school communities happen. Our staff take precautionsto emphasize street-proofing skills with your child. However, we feel that it is important that you takean opportunity to review safety procedures with your child.Peel Police have provided the following safety guidelines if your child encounters a stranger: Tell your children to never go anywhere with a stranger, not to talk to strangers and nevertake anything from them. You also have to teach them what a "safe stranger" is in case they needhelp. A safe stranger includes a police officer, a cashier, a fire fighter, etc. Remind your child to never walk alone—always walk with a group. Develop a "what if" game for the kids to get them thinking of how they would respond if theyfelt threatened or afraid. Know who your children play with and where they go. This includes keeping a list of theirfriend's addresses and phone numbers. Remind your children not to take short cuts through parks, ravines, or other secluded areas. Your child's body is private. Tell your child that no one may touch the area their bathing suitcovers. If someone does or tries to touch them, they should advise you immediately. Teach your children to talk to you immediately when someone does anything that makesthem feel strange or uncomfortable. Listen when your children are trying to tell you aboutsomething that bothers them and provide them with support and understanding.Tips for riding the bus: Take a seat as quickly as possible, put belongings under the seat and stay seated. Never stick anything out of the window, including part of your body. Refrain from eating on the bus. If a choking incident occurs, the driver may not be able tohelp immediately. Wait until the school bus stops before standing up to exit the vehicle.Tips for exiting the bus: When getting off the bus, take two large steps away from bus. If you have to walk in front ofthe bus, do so at least three metres (10 giant steps) away from the bus. The driver must be able to see students exiting the bus and will give a signal when it is safe tocross. If more than one student is crossing in front of the bus at the same time, they should cross insingle file. Children must never reach for something that is under the bus without the driver’spermission. Let the driver know that something is under the bus or wait until the bus moves out of theway.Centennial Website: centennialsr.peelschools.org5

Centennial Senior Public SchoolMay 2016The safety of our students is our top priority (cont.)Tips for walking to school: Help your child establish a safe, direct route to school. Avoid potential safety hazards suchas train tracks, busy intersections, and reinforce what safety precautions to follow. Stay on sidewalks whenever possible. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the roadand walk facing traffic. Cross streets at intersections and at crosswalks and learn to look to the left, the right, and theleft again before proceeding. Wait until traffic comes to a stop before crossing. Make sure drivers see you before you cross.Keep your child safe around train tracksTrains are often closer and are moving faster than most motorists and pedestrians perceive. That'swhy all members of a family should be are aware of the importance of rail safety.Safety steps for children Playing on railway tracks and bridges is dangerous. Find safe, supervised and open areas(e.g., neighbourhood parks) in which to have fun. The only way to safely cross a rail track is to use designated railway crossings. If you must cross railway tracks, for example on your way to and from school, stop, look andlisten before crossing. It is against the law to trespass on railway property.Safety steps for adults Be prepared to stop at a highway/ railway crossing. Listen for warning bells and whistles of an approaching train. Turn off, or turn downdistracting fans, heaters, music/radios. Obey the signals. Never attempt to drive under a gate as it is closing or around a closedgate. If the gate begins to close while you’re underneath, keep moving ahead until you clear thecrossing. If a police officer or a member of the train crew is directing traffic at the crossing, obey theirdirections. If your vehicle stalls on the tracks, get out quickly and away from the vehicle and tracks.Move in the direction that the train is approaching from to avoid being hit by debris. Your vehiclewill be swept forward by the momentum of the train.Centennial Website: centennialsr.peelschools.org6
