Attendance

Attendance at school is important!

Regular school attendance in the early years is an important part of healthy childhood development. It provides children with routine, social interaction opportunities, and exposure to important academic building blocks.

Consistent routines help support children’s emotional regulation, cognitive development, and sense of safety which contribute to the conditions that support growth and learning.

Young learners who are supported in developing the habit of regular school attendance as they begin their school journey, are more likely to experience academic success, develop strong social skills, and establish a solid foundation for lifelong learning.

Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up

Please note that parents cannot drop off and pick up students on Burke Street. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS! We have several more buses this year than last year, and buses need this space to park or to complete their routine checks. All student drop-offs and pick-ups need to take place off Fortune Street.

Please note that our student drop off and pick up processes were designed with the safety and supervision of all students in mind. Creating additional drop off and pick up locations create supervision issues for staff. 

We acknowledge the concerns about the safety and congestion on Fortune Street. We need all parents to be diligent and act responsibly for the safety of our students. OSTA recommends "walk a block" to ease congestion. 

Dressing For the Weather

Students are to come to school dressed appropriately for the weather. As the temperatures drop, warmer layers, hats and mitts in students' backpacks, and extra socks are encouraged. Students will still be going outside for recess and outdoor play.

School Photos

School Photos will take place November 3rd.
