Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
We are excited
to tell you that the roof at Clairlea is going to be repaired /replaced this
year.
Construction
will begin on approximately mid to late December 2017 and be completed within approximately
6 weeks. The start date for construction and the completion time for the
construction are subject to change, depending on weather conditions.
Over time,
this roof upgrade will ensure a continued safe learning environment for our
students. This is part of a major roof repair initiative that’s happening in
the TDSB this year. Because of the volume of school roofs being repaired this
year, work must continue throughout the school year during daylight hours
however, we are making every effort to do as much work outside of regular school
hours as possible.
The roofing
process can cause strong and unpleasant odours, which, at times, may enter the
building. Please be assured that there is no risk to our students and we are
working with our facilities and health and safety teams to reduce discomfort
including keeping windows and doors closed, ensuring all air intake openings
are closed and that the building’s ventilation system is on recirculation mode
to ensure no outside air is introduced. Alternate accommodations will be made
for students in the event of sensitivity to the fumes.
You can also
find more information about the initiative at www.tdsb.on.ca/AboutUs/FacilityServices/RoofRepairs.aspx.
Should you have any concerns about your child’s health and safety related to
this work, please do not hesitate to contact us.
