Peace Arch Elementary parents

This web blog is for all parents and was originally created for the parents of Peace Arch Elementary School. In recent months we have seen a number of parents visiting this site from several countries around the world and perhaps parents from other school districts can share their experiences, thoughts and comments to help us all make our schools a healthier and better place for all our children.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, contribute and share your ideas and comments. ~~~~~~~

Over the last few months we have had so many serious health issues that pertain to our school which directly affect the health of our children.


This web blog has been put up to provide a central place for all parents to turn to, to leave comments, ask questions and communicate.

As parents it is important for us to be able to stick together and protect our kids as best we can. Let's make our children's school as healthy as possible by voicing our concerns and our recommendations and hopefully our strength in words and numbers will lead to a healthier school for our kids.

Poll of Kids Who Have Been Sick

A few parents have asked about coming up with some sort of poll or something to find out how many kids have been getting sick during the last year or so.  Not your common cold or flu but the unexplained symptoms that a lot of kids have experienced while at school so here it is.

Of course this may or may not relate to the school but there is no harm in finding out if there is a common denominator going around because I know a lot of parents felt perplexed last year not being able to explain why their child was getting sick so much. 

My story in brief is this:  One of my children had unexplained rashes, naseau, vomiting, headaches off and on all year last year.  Only at school.  They would disappear during school breaks and there wasn't one symptom all summer long.  We have recently gone for allergy testing and will visit the doctor soon to talk about the results and I'll post them here. 

I received about 3 emails from different parents last year saying very similair things about their kids.  I'd just like to know what is causing my child to be sick like this.  Is it stress?  Is it environmental? Is it an allergy? 

Has your child had any unexplained symptoms or been sick and you can't explain why?
