As we begin the 2025-2026 school year, we wanted to share the drop-off and pick-up sites for our students.
Drop-off and Pick Up
- Kindergarten A – Students will line up on the rope closest to the North Entrance door.There will be a cone labeled KA. They will be dismissed from the same location at the end of the day and must locate parents visually and give Mrs. L a “thumbs up” before they go.
- Kindergarten B – Students will line up on the rope near the North Entrance door. There will be a cone labeled KB. They will be dismissed from the same location at the end of the day and must locate parents visually and give Mrs. Haynes a “thumbs up” before they go.
- Grade 1A and 1B – Will use the “North Entrance” primary door line-ups. They will line up on the ropes and their teachers will come to collect them. They will be dismissed from the same location at the end of the day.
- Grade 2A – Students will line up at the external classroom door and they will be dismissed from the same location.
- Grade 2B – Students will line up along the wall on the north side of the new building near Mrs. Born’s 2B class each morning, where Ms. Yan will collect them. Dismissal will be from the north side of the new wing near Grade 2 Born.
- Grade 3A – Students will line up at their external classroom door on the north side of the new building each morning. They will be dismissed independently and parents can meet them at the door or arrange an alternate meeting space with their child.
- Grade 3B – Students will line-up along the fence across from the double doors on the north side of the new building near the other Grade 3 class, where Miss Sheridan will come to collect them. They will be dismissed from the same location.
- Grade 4A – Students will line up at their external classroom door on the north side of the building each morning and will be welcomed into the classroom starting at 8:00 AM. They will be dismissed independently and parents should arrange with their child where they would like to meet them.
- Grade 4B – Students will line up in the new courtyard on the east side of the building each morning, where Miss Spyksma will collect them. They will be dismissed independently and parents should arrange with their child where they would like to meet them.
- Grade 5A &5B – Students will not line up. On arrival, they will enter through the new courtyard doors and may wait on the grand hall stairs until 8:20 AM if necessary. At that time, they may proceed to the classroom at the first bell. Dismissal will be through the single door at the bottom of the stairwell (between the Kindergarten and Grade 1 classrooms).
- Middle School – Students may enter through the main doors, north doors, or new grand hall doors and enter their classrooms once they are open. They will continue to be dismissed independently and are encouraged to use the new courtyard doors for exit to help with traffic flow after school near the main entrance.
- High School – Students may enter through the main doors, north doors, or new grand hall doors and enter their classrooms once they are open. They will continue to be dismissed independently and are encouraged to use the new courtyard doors for exit to help with traffic flow after school near the main entrance.
Late Arrivals
Any student arriving after 8:25 AM must continue to go to the main front office to sign in and receive a late slip to ensure they are accounted for. All exterior doors other than the front entrance will be locked after 8:25 AM.
Parking & Driving
There have been a few changes to the parking lot, so please be aware of adjusted parking spots, and where staff will direct students to cross.
- Drive-Through Lane: Please use the drive-through lane for quick drop-off and pick-up only. No parking is permitted in this lane.
- Lane Courtesy: Please do not use the lane beside the drive-through lane to bypass traffic and cut into the drop-off/pick-up lane at the front. This creates dangerous situations and frustration for others.
- Pedestrian Safety: To ensure the safety of all students and families, please use the designated sidewalks. Avoid walking through or across the parking lot whenever possible.
- Driving Speed: Please drive very slowly in the parking lot at all times. Do not speed off after dropping off your children, as it creates safety risks for pedestrians and other drivers.
- Parking: Please remember that you may only leave a parked car in a marked parking spot within the parking lot. Cars may not park in the lanes for driving or in the drop off lane. Consider parking along 122 Street by Fairview Park.
- Neighbourliness: Please do not block neighbouring driveways on Wicklund Ave or 204B Street.
