Parent Reminders

Parent(s)/guardian(s) are reminded of the following safety and logistical considerations that support our collective work.  These areas for consideration include:

• Please be sure to contact the school regarding student absences and lates.  Educational research has consistently demonstrated that one of the single biggest predictors of student success is consistent attendance.  As a school community, we also understand that there are times when issues arise that prevent consistent attendance, and will look to work with our families around mitigating these challenges to ensure academic success. 
• Parent(s)/guardian(s) are reminded to check-in with our main office prior to entering the building during our regular school day. Guests and visitors to our learning community will be given a visitor badge so our students and staff can identify those who are welcome in the building.
• Please mind City of Calgary traffic and by-laws directly surrounding the school.  Parents and students are encouraged to explore alternative drop-off/pick-up locations away from the school.  Families are also asked not to use the YMCA’s parking spaces, as this impacts their ability to support clients. 
• Please make sure that your student’s demographic information is up-to-date and correct so that the school can contact you in a timely manner.
• Please refrain from texting or contacting your student via cellphone during class time as this may disrupt the learning of others.  We ask that parent(s)/guardian(s) contact the main office who can relay any important messages to your student.
