Absences, Lates, Early Excusals

A few reminders from the office regarding absences, lates, and early excusals.

Absences – Parents, guardians & caregivers have the primary responsibility for the safety of their children.  A reminder to please call the school at (905) 659-3398 to report all student absences.  An answering machine is always on, so please call anytime and leave a message with the student’s name, class, and reason for absence. If an absence is unexplained, you will be contacted at home or work.

Lates – Students arriving late must enter by buzzing in at the front doors of the school, checking in at the office, and obtaining a late slip before proceeding to class.  All school doors are locked during the school day.

Leaving School Early – When a student needs to leave early (e.g., for an appointment) a note signed by the parent/guardian should be written in the student’s agenda. Prior to leaving, the student must report to the office.  Adults picking up a child are to report to the office. If someone other than a parent/guardian is picking up a student, the parent/guardian must contact the school to indicate who will be picking up the student. They may be asked to show ID.
