First Day of School! (Gr 1-8 only)

First Day Information for Grades 1-8
All students in grades 1-8 will proceed to the back playground on the first day and will be greeted by staff when the bell rings at 9:05.   Children in Gr. 1 to 3 will meet teachers on the blacktop and students in Gr. 3 /4 to 8 will meet teachers on the grassy field.

Students new to Greenleaf who are not sure who their teacher is are asked to drop into the main office first and will then proceed to the playground to find their teacher.  Staff will identify themselves with large signs.  Students in our CN class will be greeted by their teacher in the front foyer.  There is usually a great deal of excitement on the first day which can lead to a bit of chaos.  Thank you in advance for your patience as we work through this process. Please ensure that children clearly understand the end of the day arrangements for getting home.

Busing Information

Only students that received bus information via a letter through the HWDSB’s Transportation Dept. are permitted to ride the bus beginning the first day of school.

Parents/Guardians, please be aware that students who were granted Courtesy busing in the 2016/2017 school year are NOT automatically granted Courtesy busing for this school year and therefore, are NOT permitted on the bus.   Please ensure that you have made alternative arrangements until this process is completed, which is usually not until the end of September.  Courtesy busing must be revisited yearly with priority given to children in our primary grades.
