Office Notes

  • All visitors must be prepared to sign in in the French Immersion office and show ID.
  • Every attempt should be made for students to report to school on time. Students are considered late after 9:00 am and should be accompanied by the guardian to the main office to receive a tardy slip.
  • Early dismissal requests must be completed by 3:00 pm in order to decrease confusion during dismissal.  Please make every attempt to communicate early dismissal arrangements with your child and send a note to the teacher at the beginning of the day of early dismissal.
