Changes to Kindergarten Entry
Kindergarten students and parents will be joining the grade 1-8 students for entry using the main school yard entrance on Amiens Road. They will no longer be entering via Teft Road. Kindergarten students will line up along the fence that borders the designated Kindergarten play area and will enter through door #2. The Kindergarten play area is closed at this time and not in use until instructional time at 8:45. Thus, Kindergarten students will not be allowed to enter the designated play area. Both drop-off and pick-up will be in the main school yard where (they) you would have lined up in the morning. Secondly, our Kindergarten duty start time will be at 8:25 a.m. Kindergarten times will be the same time as the grade 1 – 8 students, with entry bell at 8:40 and instructional time beginning at 8:45. We hope that these changes will lend to a smoother process for both students and parents, especially those having students in more than one division.
Student Arrival
The expectation is for students to arrive between 8:25 – 8:40 a.m. and line up at their designated entry area. Use of the playing area, field and basketball court is for instructional times, recesses and other extra-curricular activities. Students using these above-mentioned areas before entry time, will be redirected to their designated entry area to await entry.
Dismissal Time
Our regular dismissal time is 3:15 p.m. Following dismissal, all students should be safely dismissed to their parent/guardians and leave the school property. In order to affect the safe dismissal of all students, teachers will be present from 3:15 – 3:30.
The school reserves the time period between 3:15 and 4:00 p.m. for school related activities and thus, all students must leave the school property during this time frame. Students will not be permitted to play soccer or basketball or use the play scape at dismissal.
