Please do not make 3-point turns near the school. The map attached shows that wherever you have parked near the school, it is possible to just drive forward to exit. Never back into intersections. The intersection by the school has four directions of students crossing, and backing into these spaces is extremely dangerous. Remember that the speed limit around schools is 30 km/h. When you enter the area, please respect all the neighbours and children walking to school by driving slowly even before entering the school zones.Learn more

Drop offs after 9:00 must enter at the south west door and proceed to reception for temperature checks. Should you have specific questions regarding these procedures, please talk to your classroom teacher. Please see this post if you need a copy of the school map.Learn more
