In anticipation of the potential for an ongoing labour dispute that may go into Sept 2nd and beyond, we would like to facilitate and create a "virtual" child care board where you can either Request or Offer child care options with other AR Lord Elementary Families. We recognize the whole situation is very fluid and uncertain but ideally we can help you connect with others from our school community as a possible solution in addition to the other options that are out there (eg. day camps offered by community centre, hiring babysitters, etc). You may also know of older siblings, grandparents, friends etc. who can offer child care.
If you can OFFER child care or NEED child care in anticipation of the potential delay in school start, please email arlordpac@gmail.com and we will distribute a list to interested parties. Please indicate dates/times, numbers/ages of children and a contact mode (email or telephone number). Note that we will be providing your contact info (email or telephone number) to the other families via email who are seeking/offering so please ensure that you are comfortable in providing that information publicly through a group email.
Also note that we will simply provide information exchange to assist you in matching up need and offer, but ultimately interested parties can decide/negotiate directly on who/what/when/rates/etc. that they exchange with. We are in no way qualifying, endorsing or approving any specific caregivers etc.
