Please enter from 135A Street. Please do not park in our neighbours parking lots Do not park on 77 th Ave. where the curb is yellow. Any parked cars in yellow curb areas could be ticketed.

Elementary School is encouraging carpool to reduce the number of auto mobiles used to drive students to our school. We encourage students to carpool together through partnerships between groups of parents. Parents can take turns picking up other kids, or have one parent designated to drive all kids. SCHOOL UNIFORMS It is important for your child(ren) to come to school in proper full school uniform. For P.E., Grades 5 to 9 students must wear the proper G.A.D.

Constant uniform violations will result in strict disciplinary action. Please refer to the student planner for more uniform details.
