DOGS, DOGS, DOGS
We all love our dogs, but unfortunately, not all dogs love everyone else. Dogs are very protective of their owners and may become more aggressive around strangers and young children. For the safety of our children, and for your own liability protection, we do not allow dogs on school property or in the school (with the exception of service dogs) during school hours or during school events. Due to the large amount of excrement
on our playground from unleashed dogs, the Humane Society is beginning regular patrols to ticket individuals with dogs off-leash. |
Photos and Videos
“Our students and staff enjoy opportunities to share some of their activities with parents and the school community through teams, clubs and special events. Many of these are ‘memory making’ for families and as such, photographs are often taken. We ask that families exercise their discretion when taking photographs or videos at school events and consider the privacy of other students who may also be present in those pictures. We would appreciate if families not upload images of students other than their own to the Internet (e.g. YouTube or Facebook). Your co-operation is appreciated.”
