We are so excited to welcome our students back on Wednesday Sept 2.  Here are a few housekeeping items that we want to refresh our families about:

1) Closed Campus Policy

  • Like the elementary schools, we are a closed campus. 
  • Students can eat at school by either bringing a lunch or purchasing our hot lunch of the day.
  • Students may not go to the restaurants or stores around the school unless they are picked up by their parents.

2) Cell Phone Policy

  • Cell phones should be left at home or locked in their lockers.
  • Students will get one warning to put their phones away and then then they will be kept at the office in a safe space until the end of the day. 
  • Multiple warnings will result in a phone call home.

3) Recess 

  • All students are expected to go outside for recess, please dress for the weather.
  • Students must stay on the playground or behind the school.
  • The staff parking lot is off limits

4) Bicycles & Electric Scooters

  • Students are highly encouraged to wear helmets.
  • There are bike racks available for locking up equipment.  
  • Provinical & Municipal Legislation states that youth under 16 are not allowed to ride electronic scooters and as such we ask that e-scooters are not brought to school.

5) Student Phone

  • Parents are always welcome to text or call the school to leave messages for their students. 
  • We do have a phone available for student use at the office.
  • Students will be encouraged to do some problem solving & time management prior to using the phone, please see the attached poster of how we are hoping to help them with that. 

6) Absences / Lates

  • Please let the school know if your student is going to be absent or late.  
  • Phone (306)236-5686, Text (306)240-4228, Message on Edsby, or Message on Facebook.
  • On Edsby you can type a note into the Absence Request and the office can alter the times required if you're having trouble. 

By working together & keeping communication flowing, we are setting our students up for the best year possible.  Thank you for all you do!
