Thank you to all parents and guardians that came to our Meet the Staff Night. As you are likely aware, our school enrollment continues to grow leaps and bounds. We have just received notification from the school board that our school will be adding an additional JK/SK classroom. As we are currently using all available classrooms, we will be eagerly awaiting the arrival of a fifth portable. In the meantime, students in Mr. Burton’s grade 2/3 classroom will temporarily be moving to the school library to accommodate this new addition. We would like to welcome Olivia Buongiorno to Saint Gabriel as our new JK/SK teacher.
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind families with children in grades 1 – 8 to please drop off students at the top of the stairs, located off of Guelph Ave on the public sidewalk. Students will then be able to continue to the tarmac with a clear siteline for families. It is extremely important to remember that our schoolyard is a STAFF & STUDENT ONLY ZONE in order to support our safety guidelines in keeping our students safe.
Families with students in JK/SK, are asked to continue bringing students directly to the Kindergarten gate for hand-to-hand drop off. Once your child has been passed to the Early Years staff, please refrain from relocating to the other side of the fence as it is imperative for us to keep the walkways as clear as possible.
Parking in the school lot is for staff, buses, and special transportation only. Please use street parking during morning drop off and after school pick up.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our students safe.
