ILLNESS OR ACCIDENTS AT SCHOOL When a child is ill at school and unable to participate in normal classroom activity, parents will be contacted so they can make arrangements to bring the child home. It is best to keep the child home if suffering with a fever, flu, severe cold or cough. When in doubt, it is best to keep your child at home. A child who is ill cannot learn properly and from a health standpoint may be spreading the illness to others. Your cooperation in this is appreciated by all. If a serious accident occurs at school, parents are notified immediately at home or at work. The emergency contact person will be called when all efforts to reach a parent are unsuccessful. |
STUDENT RECORDS At the start of each new school year, parents are requested to complete and return forms as quickly as possible. These forms ensure that we have a record of all changes in important information. Please ensure that all documentation regarding emergency contact persons are also up-to-date. |

COMMUNICATIONS We expect all students to be responsible for bringing home school communications such as this Agenda as well as newsletters, memos, School Council letters, school pictures, teachers’ notes, etc. We want parents to be well informed. |
Children, to be successful in later life, must learn responsibility. Homework gives this type of responsibility. However, parents must be aware that each child differs. The time spent on completing homework will depend on age, grade, maturity and ability of the child. Parents can be most helpful by setting aside a regularly planned routine. Teachers will assign meaningful homework which would be done in a reasonable amount of time. Please check your child’s Daily Agenda to see what must be done. A rule of thumb of homework per day is ten minutes times the grade level. Suggested times: |
Please respect school property. Pupils will be charged for lost or damaged books and supplies as well as for broken, damaged or defaced desks, walls, windows, etc. Textbooks and library books should be given special care. Each student should have a school bag to help protect their books when bringing them home to study. Textbooks and library books are very expensive to replace. Thank you for helping to conserve our books and materials so our money may be well spend, expanding opportunities for children. |
All students are expected to participate in physical education classes. Only those who have a doctor's certificate
will be excused. Each class has regularly scheduled times for gym each week. Students are expected to be prepared for physical education classes with running shoes and proper gym attire established by the gym or classroom teacher. Proper gym clothes, such as those listed below, give pupils ease of movement. |
Gym wear is recommended for grades 4 to 6 and includes:
