Community Updates

Dogs on School Property

Our school community includes many families who are dog owners. We know it is nice to take the dog for a walk when you drop-off and/or pick-up your child at school.

We remind anyone who is walking a dog that it must be on a leash.

Individuals with dogs on a leash are asked to keep them distanced from children, staff, other parents/guardians, and other dogs. Some children may be afraid of dogs, and the behaviour of a dog can be unpredictable.  Please do not bring dogs near our entry/exit zones where students are entering gated areas or lining up as these areas consist of high student traffic. We thank you for your understanding.

Addressing a Concern

Students and families with classroom concerns are encouraged to contact their student’s classroom teacher. School-wide concerns can be addressed by the principal. Addressing a Concern (PDF).

 

Walk to School

SWL is primarily a walking school as only a few students require transportation due to distance from the school allowing for busing eligibility.  Students that live within a walking distance from the school are encouraged to walk to school with parents/guardian or peers rather than be driven by vehicle.

 

Benefits of Walking to and from School

• Improved safety on our community streets
• Less congestion and pollution near the school
• Walking provides time for mindfulness and self-reflection
• Walking with a peer provides time for peer connection
• Exercise – feeling healthier and energized for school
• Adding more steps to your day
