JM-P1 - Supervision of Students

The Principal of the school is responsible for the supervision of pupils at all times during school and school-sponsored activities.

The Principal has disciplinary authority over the conduct of each pupil of the school, from the time the pupil arrives at school until the pupil departs for the day, except during any period that the pupil is absent from school at the request of his or her parent or guardian.

The Driver of a school bus shall report to the Principal any misconduct of pupils while entering, leaving or being conveyed in a vehicle under the Driver’s charge.

The Principal has disciplinary authority over all pupils of the school:

1. On their way to and from school, in terms of their conduct towards one another; and,

2. While they are being conveyed to or from school, in a division or district that provides transportation. 

Students will be dismissed from the school only when the professional staff member(s) in charge believe(s) that the students will arrive home safely.

No child may be released from school during school hours, for health or other reasons, without permission of the Principal of the school or designate, and the parents'/guardians’ knowledge.
