Keeping our schools healthy this winter

A message from Ottawa Public Health: As we enter the winter months, please monitor your child for symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea, and keep them home until they are feeling better and fever-free. Viruses can spread through the air, close contact, and shared surfaces, so regular handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, and keeping vaccinations up to date—including flu and COVID-19—are important. Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy and safe. For more information, click HERE.

Dress for the Weather

Outdoor play is an important part of every child’s day. Fresh air and active play support physical health, social skills, creativity, and overall well-being.

Outdoor Play Reminder: We go outside in all kinds of weather! Please send your child with a hat, mitts and snowpants, as winter is upon us.

With the right clothing, students can enjoy the outdoors comfortably and safely in every season.

Kiss & Ride

If you are using the Kiss & Ride, please drive all the way down the roundabout to pick up your children safely. Do not pick up half way toward the roundabout. 

This prevents students from running between cars, and keeps our Kiss & Ride running safely and smoothly. 

Drop Off & Pick Up

Please remember: For safety, there is no car drop offs or pick-ups near the Junior exit in the small paved area: please do not use Charlemange as a pick up or drop off. That area must stay clear for student and pedestrian safety. 

Instead, please use the Kiss N Ride or park a block away and walk to meet your children.

Thank you for helping us keep school safe for all students.
