Arrivals

Supervision starts on the back playground and in the kindergarten play space at 8:00 AM. Please ensure your child arrives at school between 8:00 and 8:15 AM to ensure they are ready for teaching and learning to start at 8:15 AM. Arriving on time helps children establish good routines and habits in preparation for the rest of their lives.

 

Lunches

Please send your child to school with a packed lunch in their school bag. In emergencies when you must drop off lunch at the office, please arrive at the nutrition break (i.e., either 10:15 AM or 12:35 PM) and label the lunch that you are dropping off to ensure that your child receives the correct lunch. We are not able to accept delivery services.

 

Nut Safe

We have students with life-threatening allergies to peanuts or nuts. Please do not send your child with any nut products for lunch or snacks. Working together we can help ensure the safety of all our children.

 

Early Dismissals

Please note that the office staff supports the management and organization of the school including safety protocols. If you need to pick up your child from school early, due to an appointment, please allow extra time for your child to arrive at the office. Students will only be called to the office once you arrive and it can take a few minutes for your child to gather their belongings and get to the office area. Please note that early dismissals do interrupt teaching and learning time and should be avoided if possible.

 

Personal Belongings

Please do not send important or valuable personal belongings to school. The school does not assume responsibility for broken, lost, or stolen items.
