• Review the Code of Conduct with your child.
• Let your child know that you have high expectations. You will accept only their best.
• Ensure that your child arrives at school on time, well-rested and having eaten a nutritious breakfast. Punctuality is a key to success. Please note that our school hours are:
8:30 a.m. - 11:15 a.m.
12:15 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
• Ensure that the school has updated and accurate information for you and your child: address, phone numbers, health card number, your work number and emergency telephone numbers.
• Inform the school by 8:45 a.m. when your child is ill
• If you feel that there is a problematic situation arising, do not hesitate to contact the school to discuss the concern. Phone for an appointment so that mutually convenient times may be set.
• Ensure that your child arrives at school appropriately dressed for both indoor and outdoor activities. Students should dress neatly, modestly and with a sense of personal pride that reflects our Catholic Faith. Halter tops, spaghetti strap tops, half T-shirts, short shorts or any clothing with objectionable signs or logos printed on them are considered inappropriate. Students dressed inappropriately will be required to change. Hats should be removed upon entering the building. Students need coats, boots, hats and gloves in colder weather.
• You should place your child’s name or initials on all clothing that might be misplaced. Please check the lost & found regularly.
• We discourage the practice of bringing expensive items (jewelry, toys, electronic games, CD/MP3 players, IPODs, cell phones etc.) to school. We cannot take responsibility for such items.
• Send a note including the date and your signature, if you are picking your child up early for an appointment. Please come to the office to sign your child out of school.
• Ensure that students who go home at lunch do so and return directly to school. Encourage a healthy lifestyle, by not providing sugar-laden treats for your child’s lunch/snack. Ensure that lunches have a wholesome mix of food. Please keep in mind that we strive to maintain a “nut aware” environment.
• Remember to start your visit to the school at the office to pick up a visitor/volunteer badge.
