It's been a challenging couple of weeks but, as you're no doubt aware, an agreement was reached yesterday ending the recent industrial action affecting schools. 

It's great to have our EAs, secretaries, and librarians back in the school, and for school life to resemble its normal ebb and flow.

We appreciate your patience and support.

Morning drop off and afternoon pick up can be frantic at times; we have had several near misses this week that we would like to prevent moving forward.  

Please remember the following in the school zone to ensure the safety of our students:

• The High School side is solely for drop off by busses. 

• If a student is injured and needs easier access to the school, please pull into the high school parking lot for drop off at the parking lot door.

  • Subsequently, students, please be patient in the parking lot.

• Please do not U-Turn in the school zone.  Utilize the key at the top of the road to turn around.

• Please ensure students have fully crossed the street before proceeding to drive across the crosswalk.

• Please do not let your child(ren) out when you are stopped for the students crossing the crosswalk.  Please ensure you are pulled over to avoid further delaying traffic and for pedestrian safety.

• Everyone must cross the road at the crosswalk.

• Students are not to cross in front of busses or between busses.  They are to proceed to the elementary crosswalk and then across the high school crosswalk.

• Please yield to busses.

Around the school there are several driveways and areas where bylaw has said they will ticket people parking. For example, on both sides of the street at the entrance to our cul-de-sac, and now also on the high school side of the road outside the new house.

It's also important for student safety, at pick up and drop off time especially, that the area on the town side of the crosswalk is kept free of cars to allow for maximum visibility of students crossing the street.

Please keep this in mind when making your parking decisions around the school.
