Phone:

We try to minimize the number of phone calls that go home.

If you notice a call from the school PLEASE CHECK YOUR VOICE MESSAGES BEFORE CALLING THE SCHOOL
If you receive a call between 9:20 and 9:30 in the morning, it is likely an Unexcused Absence call from the office. Please ensure you report your child's absences

Automated Attendance Calls

Please note that our automated attendance calls go out at 9:25am daily. If your child is not at school and we have not heard from a parent/guardian, you will AUTOMATICALLY receive the call indicating that your child/student is not at school.

On days that buses are cancelled, please be advised that attendance typically takes longer and calls are likely to go out before we have gotten through all voicemails, emails, and phone calls. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.

If your child has an appointment or is sick, please call to let us know, otherwise they will be marked as absent (unexcused). We mark attendance as PARENT CALL when they're away with permission and ILLNESS when they're home sick.

REGARDLESS of the reason ALL students MUST sign-in when they arrive after morning O Canada and MUST sign-out if they're leaving the building (this excludes if they're leaving to go for lunch and intend on coming back - NO sign-out/sign-in is required for lunch).

NOTE: Teachers may have additional ways they will communicate with you, as well.
