  1. Planning a winter vacation?

If your child will be away from school for a period of more than five but less than fifteen days, please complete a Temporary Student Withdrawal form prior to the absence.  Please call the attendance line (519-570-8125 x. 3041) for absences less than five days.

  1. Volunteers in the School

Volunteers are a wonderful way to promote parent and community engagement.  Thanks to all of those families who volunteer in our school or on off campus events to support staff, students and the school as a whole.  Waterloo Region District School Board policy dictates that volunteers need to submit a Police Vulnerable Sector Check to the school when they are supervising students that are NOT in the proximity of a teacher (i.e. on a field trip where they have their own group and are walking around a museum, park, etc.), or as requested by the Principal depending on the volunteer role.  Please see the office for a letter to receive a reduced fee for obtaining the Police Vulnerable Sector Check.

  1. Can you help?

The office keeps a small supply of extra clothing for students who need to change during the day.  We would greatly appreciate donations of gently used pants for boys or girls sizes 4-12.
