School Attendance And Absence

 

School begins at 7:45 am Monday to Friday. A school day ends at 1:45pm. All students are supervised during break and lunch periods, and until 2:30 p.m, after school is dismissed. No responsibility can be accepted for children who arrive before 7:00 am and who remain after 2:30 p.m.

In all cases of infectious diseases, the Principal or Vice Principal must be informed and the child must not return to school until free from the infection. 

A doctor’s certificate, as to the child’s fitness will be required.

When children are away from school because of other illnesses or special circumstances, parents should send a letter to the Principal or Vice Principal giving the reason for their absence. Likewise, children who are to leave early for appointments – notice must be given in advance.

School Rules

​

It has been said that whenever more than two people have lived or worked together rules are necessary. We believe that the school rules, if obeyed, will help establish a positive, comfortable atmosphere in which we can all work together happily.

Certain aspects of academic and social behaviour are expected and required.

​

• Uniform Changes -Students will now have a choice to use the dress uniforms only or alternating with the daily uniforms on any which day of the week. This decision was made to facilitate the different fittings that are sometimes not appropriate to the student’s physical built, and to allow for more flexibility relative to laundry schedules.

​

Suspension

 

Although we hope we will not have to use this means of correction, it is necessary to inform you of our policy with regard to infringement of the school rules. Pupils may be sent home for a period of one to five days for violation of rules. Prior to suspension, the pupil would be allowed to explain the misconduct. If suspension is warranted the parents will be notified.

 

Special notices will be given for suspension regarding non payment of school fees.
