September Update

Safe Arrival and Dismissal

Staff supervision of the playground begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:45 pm. All students without parents/guardians in the playground before and after this time will be brought into the office to resolve the problem.   To ensure safe movement of students, please keep clear of our hallways and doors during entry and dismissal.

Our School Bus

Students arriving and leaving by bus need to have a consistent schedule. Students scheduled for the bus at the end of the day will only be removed if a parent and/or guardian is onsite to pick them up. Please ensure you are at school to pick up your child before 3:30 pm.

Meet the Teacher

Communication with your child’s teacher about their program and progress is an important part of schooling. Due to the current impasse in negotiations for teacher contracts, after school ‘Meet the Teacher’ is not possible.  Pending further developments we are scheduling Monday September 28^th from 12:45pm to 1:45pm as a time during the school day for you to meet with the teacher in your child’s classroom.  It will be an opportunity to find out about how the curriculum will be delivered and how you can support the learning from home.
