Student Absences

• We ask that parents call the phone number above to advise of all student absences. Parents are required by legislation to advise the school of the reason for absence.
• The school uses an electronic messaging system called School Messenger to leave an automated phone / email / text message in the morning advising parents of an unaccounted / unexcused absence. We would appreciate a reply at your earliest convenience explaining the absence.
• If sending someone else to pick up your child(ren), do let us know in writing.
• When children are ill, we ask that you keep them home.
• It is imperative that the school be made aware of custody arrangements and that legal documentation be provided to support parental situations and requests.

Leaving School During Instructional Hours

• Students in Grades 4 – 6 who do not pay for lunchroom supervision must go home or be under adult supervision. Stop at the school office to sign them out.
• Students in Grades 7 – 9 may generally leave the building and property at lunch; however they must be on-time for afternoon classes.
