POLICIES

 

There are several school policies which have been approved by the Holy Rosary Governing Board. For your information, we have included the most pertinent policies in this handbook.

 

TEXTBOOKS AND SUPPLIES

 

All textbooks are loaned to students at the beginning of the year. These books must be maintained in good condition and returned at the end of the year. There will be a charge for loss or excessive damage.

 

Pencils, pens, erasers, rulers, notebooks etc, are not provided by the school. A recommended list of supplies for the following school year is sent home with the June report card.

 

 

EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSURES

 

Announcements about school closings due to inclement weather in the morning are given on the radio stations. Please note that Holy Rosary is a school in the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, however, we are transported by the Des Affluents School Board busses.

 

In case of daytime school closure, children will be sent home on the bus. The school will attempt to contact you to notify you of the closure. However, please notify your child as to where to go in the event he/she is sent home early due to unforeseen circumstances, such as power failure, snowstorm, lack of water etc.

PAYMENT/FEES COLLECTION PROCEDURES

 

Parents are responsible for payment of all workbooks, consumable supplies, and costs associated with student lunch supervision. An invoice is sent home each year with the June report card and is due in August. All unpaid fees result in a direct loss in supplies (art materials, photocopies, books, stickers etc.) for our students.

 

Any money sent in by cheque must be made payable to the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board - Holy Rosary School, in an envelope, with the following information written ON the envelope -          

§         Student's name

§         Grade

§         Reason for payment

§         Amount of cheque or cash

 

 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES

 

Please note that there has been a change in the dress code for physical education classes. ALL students must wear white t-shirts and blue shorts for this class. Please refer to the “School Rules of Life” in this handbook.

 

LOST ITEMS

To prevent the loss of any personal belongings, we recommend you clearly label your child’s belongings and clothing. A numerous items are never claimed from our over-flowing lost-and-found bin every year.

 

CAFETERIA SERVICES

We will have hot meal services for all our students. The meals will be served in boxes. Orders and payments are usually sent prior to the first school day of the month to Aramark, our provider. Monthly menus and order forms are sent home every month. Please respect the deadlines indicated.

 

DROP-OFFS AND PICK-UPS

If you wish to drive your child to and from school, please use the entrance near the secretaries’ office. Please avoid using the front BUS parking lot (during arrival & dismissal times) by the main entrance to the school.

 

Parents must always come to the main entrance to pick up their child at the end of the day. For security reasons, children will not be permitted to walk alone to parked cars.

 

 

 [top]

BUS TRANSPORTATION

As seats are limited, we do not allow any children to embark busses other than their own. Once children board their bus they must remain seated.

 

 

 

OFFICE HOURS

Our secretary's office is open from 7h30 to 15h30.

 

 

STUDENT ABSENCE

 

Please inform the school in the morning of your child's absence by calling our secretary at 477-5353.

IMPORTANT: If you intend to pick your child(ren) up at school during school hours or after dismissal, please make sure your child is aware of it, and a written notice must be sent in to school in the morning.

 

 [top]

RECESSES

All children will spend recess outdoors. Only children with written notices explaining a serious health condition will be permitted to remain indoors. Children will remain indoors on extreme cold winter days (-18 C).

 

 

COMMUNICATIONS

Should you have concerns regarding your child, please contact his/her teacher first and foremost. You may also use your child's agenda to write brief notes to the teacher.

Should you wish to meet a teacher, please call the school in order to schedule an appointment. An unexpected visit to the classroom may disrupt the class and teacher. If your concerns are not resolved through these attempts, please contact the school principal.

 

 

FIRST AID

In case of small injuries at school, our school personnel will administer first aid. If the injuries are serious, we will administer first aid and will contact and arrange to transport the child to the hospital. Thus, all parents must ensure the school has updated emergency telephone numbers.

In case of sudden illness or injury, we will contact the parents. If we cannot reach the parents and the child needs to be examined at a hospital, the school will arrange for transportation to the hospital; this at the parents’ expense. We will then advise the parents as soon as possible under the circumstances.

 

 

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL

We discourage the sending and taking of medication at school unless it is prescribed by a doctor. To administer medication, the school requires parental consent along with detailed instructions (please call the secretary to obtain the appropriate consent form). This information should be provided by a doctor, a hospital or a clinic. It is still the child’s responsibility to come to the office and take his medication.

 

 [top]

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

Parents must provide the school with proof of immunization against certain contagious diseases. Our school nurse will verify the booklets of every student at the school.

Parents must notify the school as soon as the child has a contagious disease. (Please consult the list in this booklet)

If your child is ill, please do not send him to school to infect other children. Keep him at home until he is well.

Our school nurse is with us only on a need basis. She is concerned primarily with prevention of illness, not treatment.

 

 

VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL

Please consult the policy document in this handbook. Certain procedures apply.

 

 

BUS TRANSPORTATION

Students may only board their usual school bus. If your child is not going home, you must make private arrangements for transportation.

 

Students are expected to behave on the bus in the same manner that is expected of them in school. Please consult the school agenda for details.

 

 [top]

PARKING FACILITIES

Parking spaces are limited and the driveway needs to be clear for the busses. NO CARS MAY ENTER OR LEAVE THIS AREA BETWEEN 7:45 A.M. – 8:05 A.M. AND 2:00 P.M. – 2:35 P.M. Visitors may park on the side of the school building, closest to the church, provided the driveway remains clear.

 

 

CHANGE OF ADDRESS AND/OR TELEPHONE NUMBER

 

Please advise the school office of any changes as soon as possible.

 

 

NEWSLETTERS

A monthly newsletter and calendar describing upcoming school events will be sent home at the end of every month.

 

THANK YOU AND WELCOME BACK!

PARENT PARTICIPATION ORGANIZATION

 

 

 

Once the Governing Board members are elected at the Parents' General Assembly called for that purpose, the parents may decide to form a Parent Participation Organization. The members are then elected at the meeting.

 

 

PURPOSE:

The purpose of a Parent Participation Organization is to encourage the participation of parents in developing, implementing and periodically evaluating the school's educational project and their participation in fostering their child's academic success.

 

ADVISORY FUNCTION:

A parent participation organization may advise the parents' representatives on the Governing Board regarding any matter of concern to parents, or any matter concerning which the organisation is consulted by the parents' representatives on the Governing Board.

 

Should you be interested in getting involved, come to our General Assembly next September. A memo will be sent to inform you of the date and time.

 

 

GOVERNING BOARDS

 [top]

DESCRIPTION:

The school, while legally part of the school board, falls under the authority of a governing board and school principal.

 

The governing board and the school principal have powers related to educational services and human, material and financial resources. The governing board makes decisions on the basis of proposals prepared by the school principal in concert with teachers and school personnel.
