Parents

To ensure the safety of our students, please ensure that all students who walk to school or are driven, including kindergarten students, enter the schoolyard via the walkergate which is located beside the church. Staff will supervise the entry of all students who enter via the walk gate as of 9:00 AM. Please do not drop off students at the kindergarten gate where the buses unload. 

All students who walk home, or who are picked up by parents will exit at the gate nearest St. Bernard Church

We must keep the front entrance and parking lot of the school free of traffic congestion so that Special Transportation vehicles can get in to pick up our children.

When picking up students in the afternoon, you are reminded that the parking lot of Ste. Bernadette School is not to be used. This is private property and there have been instances where staff from our neighbour school, or parents from the other school picking up their children at the child care, cannot get out of the parking lot because parents from St. Bernard School are blocking the entrance or the exit. Please respect our neighbours.

Please remember that at no time is parking permitted in the bus loading zone. This is an area that must be open for our buses. When sending children into the school yard from a car, please make sure that they do not walk between the buses. We train the children at school to walk around the front of the buses where staff and the bus drivers can see them. Please help them to do this by doing the same.
