School zones and parking lots can get very busy at student drop-off and pick-up times and we want to keep everyone safe! Please do not park in the school parking lots or block our bus lane.

Students and families are encouraged to use the crosswalks when crossing the street. Visitors are asked to drive slowly and follow the Traffic Management Plan below. Visitors can also use the Visitor Parking area outlined on the map.

Thank you for your cooperation.

If your child requires medication to be administered during school hours (e.g., Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Reactine, Tums, etc.), please complete the Medication Management Plan.

If your child has a medical condition that requires a medical plan or specific health care procedures, please contact the school office at 780-464-3330 or general.wbf@eips.ca and we will provide the appropriate forms.

This includes students who:

• require medication during school hours (e.g., Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Reactine, Tums, etc.);

• have a condition such as severe asthma, anaphylaxis, type 1 diabetes, or epilepsy;

• are at risk of a medical emergency; or

• require specific health care procedures at school.

Students are not permitted to administer their own medication at school. All medication must be provided in its original packaging, labelled with the student’s name, and will be stored in the school office. Refer to our school website if you need to reference this information at any point during the school year.

At Woodbridge Farms Elementary, the safety of our staff and students is always a top priority. We have children in our school community with severe, life-threatening allergies to nuts and other foods. Even a small trace can cause a serious reaction.

To help keep everyone safe, our school follows nutaware protocols:

• Please do not send peanuts, tree nuts, peanutbutter, or peanut butter alternatives (like WowButter) to school.
• Always check food labels carefully for “may contain nuts” warnings.
• Remind your child not to share food, containers, or utensils with others.
• Encourage good handwashing before and after eating.

By working together, we can create a safe and inclusive environment for all students. Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our school community healthy and safe!
