Reminders:
1. Soft Entry: As a reminder, please note that grades 1 to 4 students only are to enter from the front doors. All grades 5 to 8 are to use the North West Doors. Grades 1 to 4, who enter the property from the north side of the building, can use the North West doors as well
2. Lates: Although we have seen a decline in the number of late arrivals, there is still a need for improvement. As the weather gets colder, please ensure that you begin your morning routines 3 to 5 minutes earlier as some students continue to arrive upwards to 5 minutes late.
Thank you for your on-going support.
Soft Entry will begin on Tuesday, November 19th. During soft entry, students will enter the building any time after 8:40 a.m. Students will not be waiting outside for the 8:55 a.m. bell to enter the building. Please note, there will be no outdoor supervision in the morning.
In order to support this change, please discuss the following points with your child(ren):
1. Students can enter the building after 8:40 a.m.; there will be a bell.
2. Grades 1 to 4 are only to enter from the Front Doors; unless they walk in from Balsamwood Road.
3. Grades 5 to 8 are only to enter form the NW Doors. Students in grades 1 to 4 who come onto school property from Balsamwood Road, can enter from the NW doors as well.
