the first couple of weeks of schoolComplete the bus tags located in your information
packStudents must have the tags visible on their backpack
to be allowed on the bus
Students take the bus Parents may follow to meet students hereDo not park in the back lot or on the street to the side of
the schoolYou may park in the lot across the street from the main
school entranceStaff will be at buses to meet studentsThey will ask for your child’s name and then your child
will be directed to a balloon colour in the school gym – this colour will not necessarily be the same as the balloon colour today
Your child’s teacher will be present in the gym holding a coloured balloon ready to greet their class
Upon entering the school, parents are asked to look for the chart beside their child’s teacher in the gym
Parents are asked to record the morning bus number and afternoon bus number on the chart – two-digit
This important information is necessary for a smooth as possible afternoon dismissal
Someone must be at the afternoon bus stop to meet your primary student – your child will not be let off the bus if nobody is there to meet them
It is extremely important that parent’s do not linger outside their child’s classroom
This adds to the traffic in the hallways, causes confusion and disrupts settling the children
Take a picture of them, wish them good luck, kiss them and say good bye
During the first week of school a computer generated registration form will be sent home with your child
It is very important that you carefully check over this information and send the signed form back to your child’s classroom teacher
Please keep us up to date of any address or phone number changes throughout the year
If your child is going to be late or absent from school please call 464-2084 and press 1 – leave a message with your child’s full name and class – please speak clearly so that it is easy to get the information – please state the reason for the absence
If you do not call, and your child is absent, you will be called to confirm your child’s whereabouts

Primary students stay for lunch in their own classroom

“Restorative Approaches provides philosophy for making, maintaining and repairing relationships and for fostering a sense of social responsibility and shared accountability.”
~ International Institute for Restorative Practices
When harm has been caused by inappropriate, sometimes thoughtless, negative behaviour we work hard to give all sides what they need:
• a chance to tell their side of the story and feel heard
• to understand better how the situation happened
• to understand how it can be avoided another time
• to feel understood by the others involved
• to find a way to move on and feel better about themselves
