Robotics

The Computer Electronics class has been having a great time designing and building their own miniature circuits while exploring the fundamentals of digital logic. Students have learned how inputs, outputs, and processes work together to create functional electronic systems. It has been exciting to see their ideas come to life, and they have developed a strong foundation in problem-solving and circuit design. Now that they have mastered these introductory projects, they are ready to take the next step and begin exploring larger, more complex robotic projects.

Cell Phone Policy Cell Phone Policy

We recognize the importance of technology in education; however, excessive or inappropriate use of personal mobile devices can disrupt learning and social interactions.


Students will be expected to store personal mobile devices out of sight during instructional time, except when their use is explicitly permitted by the educator. Progressive discipline measures will occur when students do not follow the expectations of the use of personal mobile devices. Exceptions will be made to the use of personal mobile devices for medical purposes and to support educational needs. Educators will plan accordingly with parents/guardians when these circumstances occur. Parents are asked to contact the main office at 613-545-1902 if they need to speak to their child during class hours.

Student Pick-Up at End-of-day at Cowdy St. Entrance Student Pick-Up at End-of-day at Cowdy St. Entrance

If you are picking up your child at the end of the day at the Cowdy Street entrance, please refrain from parking next to the curb that is closest to the building (highlighted in red on the image below). We have students that take accessible school busses home and require this space to pick-up students safely and quickly so that they can be on time for their next stop.

You may park on the opposite side of the curb furthest away from the building (highlighted in green on the image below).

We will be blocking this area off with cones to ensure only school busses can access this space.

Attendance Attendance

User uploaded image
open_in_new zoom_out_map

Attendance tracking is crucial to us at RND. The Safe Arrivals Program allows families to report their child's absence in a convenient way. Using the Safe Arrivals Program, families will be able to report daily absences, such as an illness, medical appointment, etc., and schedule absences in one of three ways:

  • SchoolMessenger app
  • SchoolMessenger website​
  • Calling toll-free 1-844-445-4383

Sign-Out Procedures for Students

If a student needs to leave during the school day, they should be signed out at the main office (or ahead of time through the SchoolMessenger App). Once signed out, it is understood that the student is leaving school property. Students do not need to wait at the main office for a parent/guardian, but instead may meet at an agreed-upon pick-up location or, if appropriate, make their own way to an appointment.


In some cases, classes may attend extra-curricular events during the school day under the supervision of a teacher. However, for safety reasons, students cannot be signed out on their own to attend these types of events. Once a student is signed out, we need to assume they have left school property so that we can properly account for everyone in the event of an emergency.

School Cash Online School Cash Online

RND uses School Cash Online, which is a convenient, easy to use, safe way to manage fee payments for schools. Annual student fees, extracurricular fees and other school purchases must be made through this online system.

2026-2027 Pastoral Theme 2026-2027 Pastoral Theme

User uploaded image
zoom_out_map Show in original size

Our scripture passage for the next 5 years is What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6:8

This year's pastoral theme, "Do Justice", calls us to action. This is not a passive stance. It is one that calls us to become more aware of ourselves, the impact we can have on the world around us and to actively become the hands and feet of Christ in a world where injustice and suffering not only exist but threaten and violate the inherent dignity of each person who is created in the image and likeness of God.

Student and Family Information Student and Family Information

For any changes to your family details, including address, phone numbers, or contact information, please reach out to Ms. Chapman in the main office at chapmanl@alcdsb.on.ca. Accurate information helps us stay connected and support your child effectively.
