ABSENCES & COMMUNITY CHECK PROGRAM Attendance matters

Students are expected to be in attendance unless they are ill. Parents are encouraged to make appointments with doctors and dentists on Professional Activity days or during school vacations.

To report a student absence, please call 416-394-7704. Select option #1 and state:
  • Who is calling.
  • The child’s name.
  • The teacher’s name.
  • Why the student is absent
We attempt to account for every single student absence. A home or work contact will be made if we have no notification of absence. Please call us so we do not have to disturb you at your work place or home. Our school telephone has voice mail service. If it is more convenient to call and leave a message before or after school hours please feel welcome to do so. Be advised that the police may be contacted if the school cannot account for a child's absence.
