how to find your child’s teacher on the first day?
On Tuesday, September 3, 2013, we welcome back all of our Edenrose students, and students new to the school. To make this day a smooth one, we are asking that all students meet their teachers on the soccer field and black top on the North end of ourschool (by the basketball nets and the Kindergarten play area). Classroom teachers will be wearing name tags and carrying signs so theycan be easily located. If you cannot find your child’s teacher, there will be other staff members to help. All staff will be wearing black OKEE tee-shirts. **In the event that it is raining, this process will take place inside the school. See you on September 3rd 2013.
best wishes to mrs herauf from school council
When we think of Mrs. Herauf, we will remember a dynamic woman with a talent for balancing the needs of students, staff, school board and community with efficiency and professionalism that rivals the CEO of any company.
Since her arrival in 2007, she has led our school through a constant series of changes and growth including our huge construction and renovation project and the integration of multiple new regional programs simultaneously. And she has done all of this with energy and enthusiasm while remaining dedicated to the skills we value in a principal - leading, teaching and empowering students and staff.
At our final meeting, School Council was happy to share with Mrs. Herauf that we have made a $200 donation to Autism Dog Services to celebrate her time here at our school. Mrs. Herauf has been the heart of Edenrose and we truly appreciate everything she has done for our school community.

information for pdsb parents regarding school start up transportation procedures
If your home address will be changing during the summer, please notify the office staff at your child’s school prior to June 30. STOPR will also accept address change information after June 30 until July 12. Address changes received after July 12 will not be reflected in the planned bus routes to commence in September and may result in transportation services not being available for your child during the first weeks of school. Parents will be responsible for their children getting to and from school until appropriate transportation service is arranged.
The distance criteria for transportation eligibility is: 1.0 kilometer Kindergarten
1.6 kilometers for Grades 1 – 4
2.0 kilometers for Grades 5 & 6
3.2 kilometers for Grades 7 & 8
4.8 kilometers for Grades 9 – 12
If your child is moving to grade 1, grade 5, grade 7 or grade 9 in the 2013-2014 school year, their eligibility status for transportation may be changing. Eligibility information can be accessed at the website noted below.
• All transported kindergarten students are required to be met by a parent/caregiver when disembarking from their bus on their return trip from school.
• Courtesy transportation, which is assignment of ineligible students to available, empty seats on buses, will not be initiated prior to October 3. No exceptions.
• Please be aware that during September and early October, STOPR priorities are eligible students requiring transportation service, bus overloads, and route timing adjustments.
• Requests for additional or adjusted bus stop locations, route adjustments, and challenges to eligibility status will not be addressed until late October.
• Please be patient. STOPR provides transportation services for approximately 62,000 students to 350 schools on 1,300 buses. This is accomplished with an operations staff of 15. Every effort is made to complete required adjustments as quickly as possible, but there are limitations to the volume of changes which can be appropriately communicated and implemented each week.
• All transportation operations issues are the responsibility of STOPR and not either Board or individual Trustees.
