TERM 3 - ANNOUNCEMENTS
Entry & Exit Procedures (Secondary School)
When we return from our Spring Break, as of April 8th, the following procedure will be enforced:
* Girls are to arrive in the morning (prior to 7:50AM) and be picked up after school (2:40PM) from the girls entrance.
* Boys are to arrive in the morning (prior to 7:50AM) and be picked up after school (2:40PM) from the boys entrance.
* Any late students are not permitted to enter the class without being provided a late slip. These slips can be found in the reception areas from both sides.
* No student is permitted to leave without parental approval and with a valid reason given. Again, an early exit slip needs to be provided to the student and should be picked up from the respective reception area (girls from the girls side and boys from the boys side).
* Procedure remains the same for the students that arrive and depart with our bus transportation.
* Parents who require older secondary students to collect younger siblings from primary classrooms (in place of the parent) will be required to complete a consent form. The pass will allow them access to primary building to collect siblings after school. These families will leave from the primary reception exit.
