Visitors
Parents are always welcome to visit the school.
All visitors are required to report to the school office. Students from other schools and friends of students are discouraged from visiting the school during school hours. Persons who cannot justify their presence will be asked to leave the school property. Unauthorized persons (trespassers) may be prosecuted under the Provincial Trespass to Property Act.
Permission to bring a visitor under special circumstances (e.g., overseas student) must be arranged prior to the date with an administrator (Principal or Vice-Principal).
Parking
Students who have a valid driver's license and would like to park on school property should be aware that there is a limited number of student parking spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. To park at the school, you must register for a parking pass. Please speak with Ms. Stafrace in the main office for more information on how to apply.
Students are encouraged to use public transportation whenever possible.
Illegally parked vehicles will be ticketed, and all driveway areas must remain clear for delivery trucks, emergency vehicles, and general access.
Please follow all posted signs, including one-way traffic indicators, at all times. For everyone's safety, drivers are expected to follow posted speed limits and exercise caution in the driving loop and parking areas.
SAFE ARRIVAL
Drop-Off Safety:
Please remind your drivers to use the designated drop-off loop and avoid stopping in bus zones or staff parking areas. Always exit vehicles on the sidewalk side for safety.
Telephones
Students are welcome to come to the Main Office to make any necessary calls to their parent(s)/Guardian(s).
For the School Policy on Cell Phone Use, please go to the "Student Evaluation" page on our website.
Locks & Lockers
Use only your assigned locker and always lock it with a school-approved Dudley combination lock. Never leave valuables in lockers, change rooms, or unattended spaces. If it is valuable, leave it at home.
The school is not responsible for any lost or stolen personal items. The locker is the property of the TDSB and may be searched at any time at the discretion of the Principal.
Students will be issued a locker during the first week of school.
Each student will be assigned one locker for the school year. Grade 9 students will be supplied with a Dudley lock by the school that they are to use for the duration of their time spent at L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute. Only the Dudley combination lock may be used.
Students who use a locker that has not been assigned to them risk having the lock removed, at the owner's expense, and the contents removed.
Students requiring a locker change must do so through the Main Office. Students requiring a new combination lock must notify the Main Office of their new lock combination/serial number.
Lockers must be cleared out at the end of each school year; the lock will be cut off, and the locker contents discarded.
The Student Dress Policy
The Student Dress Policy (P042) has been developed to provide students with learning environments that are safe, equitable, welcoming and inclusive and recognizes that decisions about dress reflect individual expression of identity, socio-cultural norms, and economic factors and are personal and important factors to a person's health and well-being.
This Policy operates within the legislative environment of the Education Act and the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC) and is consistent with the TDSB Equity Policy (P037) and the Human Rights Policy (P031).
This Policy establishes the student dress code for all schools.
STUDENT DRESS CODE
a) Students may attend school and school-related functions in the dress of their choice that conforms to the following system standards.
b) Student dress must be worn in such a way that all bottom layers cover the groin and buttocks and top layers cover nipples, both with opaque material.
Tops may expose shoulders, abdomen, midriff, neck lines and cleavage.
Bottoms may expose legs, thighs, and hips.
Undergarments may not be substituted as outerwear and, if worn, should be worn beneath a layer of outerwear.
Straps and waistbands may be exposed, however.
Any headwear that does not obscure the face may be worn.
Additionally, students' attire should...
Conform with established health and safety requirements for the intended activity (e.g., health and physical education classes, science and chemistry classes, sporting events, technical education, drama/dance classes, etc.)

Not interfere with the safe operation of the school, limit or restrict the rights of others, or create a reasonably foreseeable risk of such interference or invasion of rights; (e.g., except for creed accommodations and safety requirements, no head wear may obscure the face, all other head wear may be worn).
