The school’s secretary is in the office from 8:00
a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.
The school building is open from 8:50 a.m. to 3:55
p.m. These hours are extended for
extra-curricular activities or detentions.
Pupils are not allowed to leave school property during school hours
without written parental permission and office permission.
The school phone number is 864-1125. The secretary is available during office
hours to take your call. She will
connect you with the appropriate teacher, or if the teacher is not available,
will take your name and telephone number and the teacher will contact you as
soon as possible. If an immediate
response is necessary, inform the secretary of the urgent nature of your call. An answering machine can also record your
call anytime at 864-1125.
When your child is absent or late, please call the
school before classes start. This helps
alleviate our concern for your youngster’s safety on the way to and from the
school. On your child’s return to
school, please send an explanatory note to the teacher. Parents will be contacted both in the
morning and the afternoon if their child is not at school.
If you are picking your child up at school for an
appointment or if there is a change in dismissal routine, please send a note to
your child’s teacher. Please come to
the office when you pick up your child and we will notify your child’s
teacher. This ensures that we are aware
of your child’s whereabouts at all times.
It is very important that students keep up with
class lessons and assignments. Frequent absence can have adverse effects on
student progress, and may result in the development of ineffective work habits,
limited progress and feelings of discouragement. We want students to be successful in their schoolwork.
When you are visiting the school at times other than
open invitations, please report to the office so that you may be properly
received. Because you may not be
familiar to all staff, it is especially important that you do not enter the
schoolyard during recess. As the
welfare of the students is a constant priority, we are wary of unauthorized
persons in our building or grounds. As
an additional safety measure, all entrance doors except those in the front
foyer are kept locked during school hours. All visitors to the school are
requested to sign the Visitors’ Log Book located by the front office.
