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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Please consult the policy
document in this handbook. Certain procedures apply.
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.
Parking spaces are limited
and the driveway needs to be clear for the busses. NO CARS MAY ENTER OR LEAVE
THIS AREA BETWEEN
Please advise the school
office of any changes as soon as possible.
A monthly newsletter and
calendar describing upcoming school events will be sent
home at the end of every month.
THANK YOU AND WELCOME BACK!
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.
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.
