​ Parents & Visitors in the School

Please note that as we continue to try to make our school a safe learning environment for all, we try to control parent circulation in the building.  Unexpected visitors interrupt learning and create distractions. Unidentified and unknown adults make staff and students wonder who they are encountering. We will require all parents and visitors in our building to wear a visitor’s badge.  

In order to receive a visitor’s badge, parents and guests must sign in at the office upon arrival.  If you are only stopping in to deliver a forgotten item, or to drop off a lunch, we kindly ask that you leave it at the office and we will make sure it reaches your child in a timely manner.  If you wish to touch base with a teacher, even if it is before school, please stop by the office and we will check on the teacher’s availability and locate him or her for you.  Finally, access to breakfast club is via the back door, and travels for the purpose of breakfast should be limited to the back hallway.

​ No Pets on School Grounds

While we do love pets, pets are NOT ALLOWED on school property for safety and health reasons.  

Schools within School District #23 have a policy where dogs are not permitted on school property at any time (even on a leash).  

This is a health and safety issue where the School District must comply with Division 1, Part 107 of the Workers Compensation Act (W.C.B).  By bringing dogs onto school grounds, the health and safety issue is exposing students and staff to the hazards of dog bites, dog fights, and dog feces which has to be cleaned up by school staff. Even if dog owners clean up messes, the residue can still be left on the grass where children play.  Therefore, in order to stay in compliance with the Regulation and our own School Policy, dogs are not permitted on school grounds at any time.
