Greatness Grows at Allan A. Greenleaf!
The future of the world is in our classrooms!
The back to school season is upon us and we welcome back all our returning and new families. We hope you have enjoyed the summer!
Whether you are new to Greenleaf or a returning family, our hope is that the year ahead will be a rewarding, positive experience for everyone. Our commitment toward working with, understanding, and nurturing each and every child are some of the many reasons why Allan A. Greenleaf School is such a wonderful place for children to learn and grow.
First Day Procedures-Tuesday Sept. 3, 2019
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.
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. 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.
Information for Full Day Kindergarten Families
All JK’s and new SK’s have a one hour visit on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd. This gives staff the opportunity to meet you and your child. Postcards outlining each child’s teacher and visit time were mailed at the end of June. Please follow the information provided to you on your postcard. If you are unsure of your visit time, please call the office. On Wednesday, Sept. 4th ALL students (both JK and SK) attend school full time, every day.
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 2018/2019 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.
See you tomorrow!
