Once again we have quite a few cases of head lice at Ross Road. Please check your children’s heads! If you haven’t had experience with lice and/or nits, ask a Pharmacist or a friend for help and suggestions about treatment options.
The school administration and the PAC also have resources and on-line links that may assist you. Click here to view the PAC’s “Lice Advice” page.

Data Entry Volunteers
The School Directory team is looking for a few more parents to help enter all the data on these forms, and also to help with communicating with advertisers. The sooner we get all the data entered, the sooner we can get email lists to the Class Reps and get the the Directory published, so we’d really appreciate a few extra helpers!
If you are interested, and have some experience with spreadsheets, editing/proof-reading and Excel/Word, please contact Lynda Faivre-Duboz as soon as possible at: rrpacdirectory@gmail.com
Advertising in the School Directory
The School Directory is a great opportunity to advertise your business or service, and support your children’s school at the same time! There are several different ad formats to choose from, ranging from a business card size to a full page ad.

Here’s why:
At the PAC AGM (Annual General Meeting) on 25 May, 2011, we ratified the updated PAC constitution, so that it would better reflect new business practices brought on by advances in technology. The vote was a unanimous recommendation to approve the new constitution, which is reproduced in full in the document below.
Have a look!
