Before and After School Supervision
Please remember that student supervision begins at 8:15 am each day. Students are welcome to enter the building to get ready for classes to begin at 8:27 am. Between 8:15 and 8:27 am, teachers are supervising inside their classrooms and the hallways. Students are encouraged to use this time to connect with friends and prepare for learning.
Students are dismissed at 3:00 pm (Monday to Thursday) and 12:41 pm (Friday). Kindergarten to Grade 3 teachers will accompany their students outside and will remain for approximately 5 minutes each day. After this time, parents are expected to supervise their own children if they wish to remain or play at the school.
