SCHOOL ACTIVITY FEE

If you have not paid your child’s School Activity Fees please do so at the office. This fee is collected to assist in covering the costs of optional activities or events that would enhance the

regular school programming and would enrich the education of participating students. Some examples of

these are out of school educational experiences, activities, presentations and/or speakers.

The fee is $10.00 for Kindergarten and $20.00 for Gr 1-8 & Dev Ed.

School Messenger/Safe Arrival

École Vickers Public School is now using the SafeArrival absence reporting system. Please use the toll-free number, the website, or the SchoolMessenger mobile app to report your child’s absence in

advance. The toll free number is: 1-833-309-1241. If you have any questions

or trouble reporting an absence please call the office.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

For the most part, we want our students to enjoy playing outdoors before

school, during both recesses, and the noon hour. On rainy days, we allow

students to come into the school upon their arrival and remain indoors

during all breaks. In the winter, we use -30 degrees Celsius as our cut off to

remain indoors. If the temperature and/or wind-chill in combination with the

temperature exceed -30, then all students are permitted in the school in the morning and

during break times. We do expect that all students be dressed appropriately for

the weather, as there are many cold days that students are expected to be

outdoors.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

Our parking lots are out of bounds for students. We urge parents to support us in this safety endeavor by dropping off their children on the west side of the school on Olive Diefenbaker Drive; on Bradbury Drive, east of the Special Needs bus zone and between Gisi Road and

Olive Diefenbaker Drive. We encourage the children to cross all streets in a safe manner by crossing at the corner or at cross walks. Teacher supervision is also provided at our major

crosswalks. The Community Club rink parking lot is the bus pick up zone after school for our French Immersion busses, and a convenient place for French Immersion parents to meet their

children for pick up. We must respect the residents that border the school. Please refrain from turning around in

driveways, as this is disruptive to the homeowners.
