Important School Information

Picking Up Students After School

  • Primary students Gr. 1 – 3 will dismissed into the courtyard.
  • Intermediate students Gr. 4-5 will be dismissed from their classroom. Please plan where you want to meet your child.
  • Kindergarten students will only be dismissed from their classroom to an adult.

School Supplies

Students should bring some basic supplies to school during the first week such as pen, pencil, eraser, pencil crayons etc. The bulk of their school supplies should remain at home until their teacher is identified and will give them specific information on when to bring them to school.

 

Lunches and Snacks

Students in Grades 1-5 will need a snack and full lunch daily beginning Wednesday Sept. 7th. As we have several students with nut allergies we ask for you to avoid packing lunches containing nuts or peanut butter. We'd like to remind you that we have a Litterless Lunch Policy. Students are expected to take all lunch waste home with them. Please provide your child with a lunch box or plastic bag to take all lunch waste home with them.

 

Parking Lot Traffic

Our parking lot is quite congested between 8:45 – 9:00 am and 2:45 – 3:15 pm. If you need to drop off and pick up your child please do not leave your car or use the staff parking lot. If you need to park and leave your car please park on the street.

 

Classroom Requests

Parent requests for classroom placement were invited for last May and June. Staff has taken that information into account when trying to build classes that are balanced and that adhere to district and provincial guidelines. While all requests will be taken into account we may not be able to satisfy all requests. Please contact Mr. Muxworthy regarding any questions about class placement.

 

School Forms and Planners

Essential school forms and student planners will be distributed to students once they are assigned to their class. When students are officially assigned to classes we will send home more information about how to complete our school forms.

 

Website

We will be posting up to date information on our website. Be sure and check it regularly for information.
