Student Arrival and Dismissal
Student Arrival and Dismissal
Early morning supervision begins at 8:30 am. Students should be dropped off at school after to this time.
Our school day begins at 8:45 am. Please ensure students are on time to start their day. Morning announcements and daily routines help make the day go smoothly.
Our dismissal time begins at 2:50 pm for bus students.
All students arriving late or leaving early must check in at the office window using the hand sanitizer on the way in and out.
Transportation
Transportation
Pre-Primary to Grade two students must be met at the bus stop at the end of the day. The bus driver will not leave a young child alone at the side of the road. If arrangements have not been made with the driver, the child will be brought back to the school and parents will be contacted to pick up the student at the school.
Please write in your child’s communication book whenever there is a change in their pick-up routine. This ensures that we are able to get your child in the correct place afterschool. Bus changes can also be emailed to the school office at smes@avrce.ca.

Outdoor Activities
Outdoor Activities
Students will spend time outdoors every day, weather permitting. Your support is valuable in helping children understand the importance of enjoying the outdoors by dressing them appropriately for the weather. If you have a younger child, you may want to send a change of clothes with them in case they get their other clothes wet due to outdoor play.
