Hello Arbour Vista Families,
I hope you are staying warm and well. As winter continues, this is a gentle reminder to ensure students are dressed for the colder temperatures. Please send your children to school with appropriate winter gear (coats, hats, mittens or gloves, and boots) so they can enjoy outdoor activities comfortably and safely.
If your child has misplaced any clothing or personal items, please encourage them to take a look in the Lost and Found. We’ve gathered quite a number of belongings.
Bus Cancellation Days
If the bus does not run in the morning it will not run in the afternoon. Please arrive to pick up your child on time at 2:40. On inclement weather days the parking lot is extra busy. Please only stop in the outside lane (lane closest to the school) and have your child enter the car on the passenger side.
If you are in the inside lane (closest to the parked cars), continue to circle the lot until you are able to pull in. Parked/stopped cars in this lane prohibits cars from leaving and slows down the whole process. Once you pick up your child please leave the parking lot promptly to allow for others to pick up.
Parking
Stopping on the side of the street out front of the school is also not permitted, as per the posted signage. This blocks the flow of traffic and can pose safety concerns. Please drop students off in the Kiss N’ Ride lane in the parking lot or park and walk in with your student(s). Sharing this messaging with anyone picking up or dropping off your student (s) is appreciated.
This message does not apply to parents with pre- arranged drop off and pick up arrangements to support students with accessibility needs, or if picking up a child who is very ill. They may pull into the bus lane.

Students Trading/Sharing Food
For the safety of all students, please ensure that children do not trade food at school. Due to potential allergies, it's crucial that students only eat what was sent from home. This helps prevent allergic reactions and keeps everyone healthy. We appreciate your cooperation in reinforcing this important rule. Thank you for your support.
