To keep your child safe, parents and visitors will need to remain outside the fenced area around the school (playground, front of school). Three entrances/exits will be accessible: 1) Auburn Street gate, 2) West side of school for students who are walking, 3) Primary doors gate for students being dropped off, or picked up by a parent (Kiss and Drop off zone now at primary gate). Staff will be supervising all areas of the yard and the crosswalk in front of the school. As in other years, you may also park on Parkdale Street, or Auburn Street and walk to the school gate to help ease traffic congestion in the parking lot. Please ensure you are physically distancing. The main entrance will be used for bus students only. All families and visitors will need a pre-arranged appointment time to enter the school.
Masks are required for grade 4 to 8 students and recommended for all other students. When students arrive they will proceed directly to their class area on the yard. At 3:20 pm they will be dismissed from their class area as well. See the map to help your child know where to go on their first day. Parents are not permitted on the playground.
