The safety and well-being of your child is an important concern for us, and making sure your child arrives at school safely is a responsibility we take very seriously. That is why all elementary schools have a Safe Arrival Program to ensure that each and every student arrives at school safely.

 

Parents and guardians have a responsibility to contact the school when a child will be late or absent.

 

You now have two ways to contact the school to report your child’s absence or late arrival:

1. Call Us – Our Attendance Line can be reached by calling 519-880-2646 dialing extension #1. Include your child’s name (and spelling), grade, class, and reason for the absence.

2. NEW! Email us – You can send an email to est-attendance@wrdsb.ca and include the following information:

• Subject Line: Student’s Name

• Body of Email: Student’s name, grade, class, your name, and the reason for the absence.

 

Select the option that is most convenient for you. Both options are available 24/7.

 

Reminder: During severe weather conditions, you have the option to keep your child home from school. Please remember, you must still call the school to alert them of your child’s absence or if they will be arriving late.

 

Our staff, families, and caregivers are partners in every student’s learning journey. We appreciate your support in ensuring that every student arrives safely to school.
