Absences

When calling or emailing the school to excuse your child from school for the day, please spell the last name of your child and provide their grade. 

An automatic attendance call is sent out by 9:00am for Intermediate students and 9:35am for High School students.

Late Arrivals

Intermediate students should always check in at the office when they arrive after 8:00am. 

High School students should always check in to the office when they arrive after 8:30am.

Signing out at lunch

If your child needs to sign out of school over the lunch period they should present themselves to the office and provide a note. The lunch period is unstructured time which makes it challenging to locate a student. 

High School lunch - 10:45am to 11:25am 

Intermediate lunch - 11:35am to 12:25pm. 

Signing out Early

The last hour of the school day is very busy with student's leaving early for appointments and other commitments. It is both helpful and efficient to provide your child with a note for their teacher to excuse them from class to sign out in the Main Office.
