The eclipse is set to unfold on Monday, April 8, 2024.  This day is a PA day for students so students will not be at school.  Eclipse glasses will be handed out to all students across HWDSB schools.

Walk to School & Parking Lot

 

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

 

Families with special circumstances only that are required to drive their child to school, we request families follow regulations for our bus area and fire route zones.  These are not areas to park your vehicle as our buses and traffic needs to move fluidly through this space.  Please do not park your car in areas that are not marked as parking spaces.   If a space is not available you will need to park on adjacent streets.  We thank you for your cooperation here.
