The OLA Learning Team Welcomes you back!
Arriving and Playing in the Morning
If you are dropping your child off, thank you for using the three drop off and pick up points identified on the map above (white arrows). Thank you also for organizing a meeting place inside the play area, to meet your child after school so that together you may exit the play area and return to your car.
Grade 1 - 4 children are invited to play in their morning play areas from 8:33am - 8:45am (Green Area = Grade 3&4; Purple Area = 1&2) When the bell rings at 8:45am, students in grades 1-4 will go to their entrance doors and wait on a polka dot while their teacher welcomes them into the school in their colour groups. Kindergarten children are encouraged to enter the school through their entrance door upon their arrival between 8:33am and 8:45am.
Staggered Recess
Children will have staggered recess for outdoor play, three times in the day. These recess will include their cohorts of Kindergarten - Grade 2, and Grade 3 & 4. During their staggered recess, their cohorts will enjoy the full play area. Our little Kinders will enjoy two recesses while they become efficient in their routines. With all grades, while the weather is beautiful we will spend additional time outside getting fresh air and engaging in some learning activities in the play field or in OLA's Outdoor Classroom.
The health and wellness of OLA Children continues to be a priority.

Establishing Your Child's Baseline
Many children have pre-existing conditions that will help your child's teacher and the OLA team navigate through symptoms. It is encouraged that if your child has allergies or other pre-existing conditions to have a Covid Test while the symptoms are present. Having a negative test during these symptoms establishes your child's baseline normal. Once a negative test is achieved, please connect with Mme Gravelle or Mrs. Weller at 780-998-3716.
