This Week at École OLPH
January 15 to 19, 2018
Message from the Office
Dear Parents & Students,
A friendly reminder, that a Peace Officer has informed M. Morin that tickets will be issued to anyone who is parking in the “No Parking Zone” locations, which is directly in front of the school. Many parents use this as a drop off zone, which is okay as long as you are not parking there.
When you are visiting / volunteering / meeting a teacher / or picking up your child(ren) during school hours, please feel free to use the staff parking lot along the fence on the northwest side of the school or park on the far side of the road across from the school or whatever parking is available outside of the “No Parking Zone”
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact M. Morin at 780-467-5631.
God Bless
