The school day for Elementary commences at 7:45am. Students are not permitted into the hallways/classrooms before 7:30am. Dismissal time is 2:00.

As a result of the new guidelines, students will alternate daily between Face-to-Face In-School Learning and Distance Learning from home. We are currently in the process of creating Group A and Group B students within each classroom. We will aim to have siblings attend on the same day. This information will be shared with you promptly as we understand that many families may need to plan for child care considerations.

LUNCH

KG-Grade 5 students will be required to bring a packed lunch (including utensils) from home. There will be no access to our cafeteria for elementary students and lunches must be eaten without the use of refrigeration or microwave.
