Regular attendance at school is an important factor in every student’s academic success. We encourage all of our students to develop this important habit. We ask parents to help their children in this regard by scheduling appointments outside of regular school hours whenever possible. When a student must be absent, parents are reminded to call the school at 416-393-9700 to inform us of the student’s name, class and the reason for absence. Voicemail is in operation 24 hours a day for your convenience. When we have not heard from you, school personnel will attempt to contact you to ensure that your child is indeed safe. You can appreciate how time consuming this can be, so we do appreciate hearing from you first. 
It is important that we can reach all students’ parents in the unlikely case of an emergency. For this reason, if your home or business numbers change at any time during the year, please let us know immediately. 
We also encourage our students to arrive at school promptly both in the morning and after lunch. When a student is late, he/she is expected to report to the office. If tardiness persists, parents will of course be notified. Students leaving the school during the day, for any reason, are required to notify the school office. Parents wishing to pick up children at school for appointments etc. must report to the office to make this request. Your child will then be contacted. 
Students returning to school during the day must report to the office to sign in before going to their classrooms.
