First Day Procedures
First Day Procedures
First Day of school this year is Tuesday, September 5th. Students are encouraged to arrive about 15 minutes before school starts.
Please note that students will be advised of their class placement by staff on Tuesday, September 5th. At this time new registrations will be completed, and class lists will be finalized for the interim period.
The school yard on the first day is quite busy and crowded. Please be assured that we will have many staff to help our youngest learners with this critical first day of school. They will be wearing a brightly coloured, highly visible vest. Staff situated at the entrance to the tarmac will have class lists to assist your child with finding their teacher.
We ask that you arrive at the school between 8:05 and 8:20. If it is raining, students are advised to dress for the weather and bring an umbrella. If you have plans of care and/or medication, please drop them off at the office once you have dropped off your child. If you require a plan of care, please access this link:
