Reminder: UCDSB Safe Arrival and Dismissal

As educators, parents and guardians, we all
have a duty to ensure the safety of our students. Safe Arrival procedures are a legislated
requirement for elementary students in Ontario. While school departure procedures are not
a legislated requirement, there is an expectation for schools to ensure an effective student
departure process as well. To this end we would
like to remind parents/guardians to notify the
school if:
1. your child is going to be late or absent****;
2. alternative arrangements have been made
for your child at the end of the day, i.e. he/she
is being picked up instead of taking the bus;
3. your child is going to be picked up by another
party.
*****It is the responsibility of the parent/
guardian to notify the school of an absence. If
we are unable to contact you through the phone
numbers you provide, we will attempt to phone
your emergency contacts. If we are unsuccess-

ful in reaching any contact, the board protocol

is to report unknown absences to the OPP.
For those students who are bused, please review STEO procedures below:
Remember that you are responsible for your
childs safety and conduct prior to boarding the
bus and following drop-off at a designated stop.
This includes walking or driving your child to
and from the bus stop. In the case of a JK-SK
student, or in a special situation that has been
approved by the school, STEO, and bus operator, a trusted responsible person must accompany your child to and from the bus stop. If no
one meets the child at the bus stop, drivers are
directed to take the child back to school or to
the proper authorities. It is a parental responsibility to ensure that children arrive home safely
from the bus stop.
We thank you for your commitment to the safety of our students.

Dress Warmly!
As the weather improves, we hope to
spend time outdoors everyday! Please
come prepared by wearing a hat, mitts
or gloves and snow-pants daily.
