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.

More Mould? Pod 400 this time

A few parents received an email today from our school (Peace Arch) about the possibility of mould under pod 400.  This finding is due because of the continued pushing from parents to regularly inspect our school.  Here is a portion of that email that directly relates to this new finding. 

Interestingly, I have heard of at least one student in this pod experiencing such strong respitory problems they have had to stay home from school. 

...the presence of suspicious substances in the crawlspace of pod 400.‹ The PEC specialist is coming in today to clarify this finding and to confirm whether the substance on the concrete and wood is mould, vermiculite or calcification.‹‹‹ As soon as the PEC specialist completes her work today (including an air sampling of pod 400), Bernadine will finalize the update and it will be sent to you and posted on the website.‹ Thank you for your patience.

Do you have any children in the school having unexplained symptoms? 
We will continue to update any information we have as it comes in. 
Please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question here.  If we stick together as parents we can make this school healthier and safer for all of our kids.
