School Start & End Times (2025-26 School Year)

Staggered Entry:

For Grade 1-6 students we have staggered entry where they are able to enter the school building as they arrive after a 9:05 am bell rings. They have until 9:13 am to be in class at which point instruction begins. Students are to enter the building immediately once they arrive at school between 9:05am and 9:13 am to ensure that they are ready on time for the days instruction.

The office secretaries will be able to answer your questions in matters of general concern. Your child’s teacher is always your first point of contact if a concern or problem arises. Please contact the teacher directly by note, email or by leaving a message by calling the school office. Due to the teaching/learning activities occurring in the classrooms, office staff will not put calls through during class times and teachers may not be able to access their voicemail until the end of the day. If you have a time sensitive message for the teacher, please contact the school office and they will ensure that the teacher receives it.

Due to the demands in the office, we ask that parents make arrangements regarding appointments, changes of pick up routines for children after school (such as busing), etc. before your child leaves for school in the morning through a note to the teacher. You may also choose to email your child teacher at least one day in advance to share of a known upcoming absence or early pick-up (same day emails may not be seen by the teacher as they are instructing the class throughout the day). We will call your child to the office once you’re here, therefore we please ask that you allow extra time for the child(ren) to gather their belongings upon your arrival if picking them up early. *Please restrict messages through the office to those of an urgent nature only.
