Dismissal

Although we start exiting the building a few minutes early, our dismissal bell rings at 2:30PM and students will not be dismissed earlier. 

Kindergarten to Grade 5

Driving & Walking:

The north parking lot (morning Drop & Go) will be closed and there will be NO parking permitted for families as we need the gravel parking area for parents to receive their children. Please park on the street and walk to your child’s assigned pick up area for the end of day hand off.

For students in Kindergarten - Grade 3, parents/guardians/older siblings need to be present at the gate to pick up their child(ren).

For students in Grade 4-5 please communicate with your child’s teacher if you are picking up your child or if they have permission to walk home by themselves as they do not require an end of day hand-off.

Families will pick up their child(ren) in the designated pick up areas for the end of day hand off. 

Kindergarten pick up at Gate A.

Grades 1-5 pick up at the Gate C.

Buses:

Students going home on buses will come to the front foyer as their class exits for dismissal. Staff will lead them outside to designated bus lines and supervise until the bus is loaded and ready to leave.

Grade 6 to Grade 8

Please communicate with your child’s teacher if you are picking up your child or if they have permission to walk home by themselves.

Driving & Walking:

There will be NO parking permitted for families on school property at the end of the day as we need the back gravel parking area for parents of primary age children. Please park on the street along Macdonald Ave. 

Jr/Int students do not require a parent hand off and classes will be dismissed at the bell. Students are not permitted to remain on school property after school. Students in jr/int who need to pick up younger siblings, can walk to the primary dismissal area through the yard.
