Ring the buzzer at the front door if you need to drop off medication or have an emergency. A member of support staff or office staff will help with your requests.
Do not park in our parking lot or in the bus zone. The ‘Kiss and Go’ zone is available for quick drop off only, no parking allowed.
Soft Entry Starting on September 5 and onward
Soft entry is when students enter the building starting at 9:00 am and go right to their classroom. This allows us to limit and regulate the number of children coming in at a time and supports a calm start for learning.
School Supplies
School supplies are distributed by teachers. Other supplies needed from home will be:
- Back pack that will hold a lunch, snacks, water bottle and books.
- Good runners / sneakers for indoor shoes that will not mark the floor.
