We are fortunate to have Agendas for all students

In our Primary classes, most teachers use a zippered pouch that they try and check daily for hand-written notes/paper copies of any information/newsletters.

Most teachers also have an electronic platform - depending on the preference of the teacher, it could be Google Classroom, BrightSpace, School Messenger emails, or Teacher Google Site.

Communication for the entire school could arrive through postings on our school website, parent weekly memos from Admin, or emails through School Messenger.

Parents who require busing for their child(ren) must register for the bus on the busing website.  You must have your child first registered at the school then you can go to http://www.mybigyellowbus.ca/ to register.

All bussing information comes from http://www.mybigyellowbus.ca/

To access this site you will need your child's student number (Trillium #)(not an OEN Number from Report Cards). Then click on parent portal - here you will find: pick up and/or drop off times; bus number, and bus expectations for behaviour.

You will likely receive something in the mail from STS (mybigyellowbus) over the summer, but you won’t have access until Mid-August.

Any changes to routes or alternate stop request forms are also all on this site.

You are able to do either Before or After, or both! It will be dependent on space.

Firstly there is no expectation that students have to be at a certain reading level coming into our school. We will figure out their current English reading levels, and work with them to move them forward. 

Coming into grade one, we would hope that they have begun learning the letters of the alphabet and the associated sounds. Next step = sight words

For French, we anticipate starting from scratch

8:45 am supervision on the yard begins

Entry is at 9:00am and school runs until 3:30

Our balanced day schedule:

        9:00-10:40 First Instructional Block

            10:40-11:20 First Break (Gr 1-4/5 inside first/Gr 5/6-8 outside first; switch at 11:00)

       11:20-1:00 Second Instructional Block

            1:00-1:50 Second Break (All classes eat first, then go outside second)

       1:50-3:30 Third Instructional Block

Typically younger students are paired with an older 'Bus buddies' at the end of the day to ensure that they get onto the correct bus.  

Walkers - dismiss from the back door (south exit) and meet parents on the tarmac.

Students being picked up - must be signed out at the office - please let office know early in the day to ensure that the information can be shared with necessary staff.
