Principal’s message
With the Spring season comes growth and new beginnings. This is cer-tainly evident at Central Etobicoke High School. The school’s website is slowly being revamped after many years of hibernation. Our two school kilns are being repaired in hopes of providing some pottery and glass fus-
ing classes for our students. There are more extra-curricular activities being organized in-cluding a trip to see the Blue Jays (a sure sign of spring). Students have started to plan for next year as well. Course selection sheet for the 2012-2013 school are being returned and staff have already started planning the Prom and Com-mencement activities for stu-
dents who will be leaving us. Plus, we have already been plan-ning for Summer School at Cen-tral Etobicoke High School. If you have not seen the flyer, please call the school and we will en-sure that you receive the infor-mation. (Ms Kung)

The students were very busy installing summer tires for staff members vehicles in the last few weeks. The students also incorporated their skills in maintenance and repairs.
They changed oil, bal-anced tires, replaced brakes, car detailing and checked the vehi-cle(s) using a check list. Other classes are in the process of reas-
sembling their small engine projects.
The students have opportunity of develop-ing the skills further by opting for Co-op Edu-cation.(Mr. Mastrocola)

Congratulations to the multi-sport ball hockey team who participated in a tournament at Drewry Secondary School. The entire team played hard all 3 periods and scored a total of ten goals! Their hard work and dedication paid off as they rose to the occasion and repre-sented the CEHS Eagles in the true spirit of the game. The team and coaches look forward to our next event later this month.
Congratulations to the CEHS basketball team who finished in fourth place in the intermediate basketball league. The team has been practicing hard for the past few months in preparation for this game. They played their hearts out against Eastdale and after playing a close game and fighting a long battle against the top seed, they just fell short. A positive attitude, good sportsmanship and excellent work ethic were
displayed by the entire team and we are proud for them to have repre-sented our school. Spe-cial mention to our gradu-ating athletes Darryl Johnson and Rasheed Grant who both had an excellent final basketball game as part of the CEHS Eagles.

Regular student attendance and punctuality are important in order for students to be successful at school. The Education Act states that it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure that their children attend school regularly. A student's academic progress depends on regular class attendance. Our School practices the Safe Arrival Program that requires schools to perform a school-home attendance check. Notify the school when your child will be absent. Students are expected to fully participate in learning opportunities and complete all homework assignments and tests when they are absent so make sure your child is getting homework assignments when they are absent. You can help ensure that your child is in school and on time for classes by
• being involved in your child's education; knowing the school's schedule;
• communicating regularly with classroom teachers (use your child's planner to send notes to the teacher);
• calling the school if your child is going to be absent;
• writing a note if your child is late due to an appointment;
• ensuring that your child gets a good night's sleep so that they have the energy they need for the next day.
Our School is currently scheduling and organizing this years annual IPRC re-views. If you have not done so already, please return your child’s IPRC meeting invita-tion to the Special Education Department as soon as possi-ble indicating if you wish to have a meeting scheduled or if you wish to waive this year’s meeting. Please con-tact Mr. Liolis at extension 20044 or Ms. Bird at exten-sion 20042 if you require ad-ditional information.
