Happy Easter!

The teachers and staff wish all of you a very Happy Easter, and a holy, safe, and enjoyable holiday. School is closed for the Easter break from Good Friday to the following Tuesday, inclusive. We look forward to welcoming students back to school on Wednesday, April 24.

School Protocol Reminders:

• Parent drivers are reminded once again to be especially careful when driving into the cul de sac on Howse Place on the west side of the school. The RCMP have just informed us that they have written ten traffic violation tickets in the past two days to drivers on Howse Place during our TLA pick up and drop off times. Please do your best to drive safely to protect our students and our neighbours from harm.

• Parents are reminded to call the office and leave a message to announce an upcoming absence of a student due to whatever reason. This saves us a lot of time following up on absentees! Although the classroom teacher also appreciates a heads up in these cases, the office does need to know this information.

• Parents and visitors to the school are required to check in at the office upon their arrival to announce the reason for their visit, and how long they will be on campus. This is a part of our safety protocol when it comes to fire drills and the like.

• Parents collecting students from school outside of the regular dismissal times must let the office know when they are leaving the building.

• Schoolyard supervision takes place from 8:30 – 8:45 AM, and then again from 3:00 – 3:15 PM. This is designed to provide a supervised environment for elementary aged students as they arrive and depart from school. Parents who wish these children to have the opportunity to play with friends for an extended period after school are welcome to personally supervise them until they leave the school grounds. We do not permit students to be left on campus unattended.

• On a similar note, students are to leave the school building by 3:15 PM unless they are required by a teacher for individual help or other school related activity.

• TLA does have a before and after school care provider for students needing supervision before 8:45 AM and after 3:15 PM. Please contact the office to arrange for this service, should your family require it.
