SCHOOL GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES
Regular attendance is vital to the learning process. Students who are absent not only miss valuable instruction, but also the questions, answers, explanations and discussions which promote thinking, interaction with others and effective learning.
Students who have been absent from classes for any reason need to speak with their teacher upon their return to review any content or assignments that may have been missed. The service of the attendance officer may be called upon to ensure student safety when the school is unable to contact parents or other family
LATENESS: Students are expected to be punctual and prepared for school every day. A student is considered to be late when he or she is not in the assigned class at the designated time. Students who arrive late must get a late slip from the office to present to the teacher they are scheduled to be with.
LOCKERS: Grade 7 and 8 students are assigned individual lockers that are school property. Students supply their own locks and provide the combination or a duplicate key to their homeroom teacher. Students should keep their combinations confidential and their lockers locked at all times.
TEXTBOOKS and Library Books: Texts and library books that are issued by the school become the responsibility of the student, while remaining the property of the school. If a book is lost or damaged, the student will be assessed the cost of the book.
TELEPHONE: Students may obtain permission to use the office phone between 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.
BUS TRANSPORTATION: Students who are eligible for ridership on the Divisional school bus must follow the divisional and school code of conduct and are subject to all requirements of our Code of Conduct. Bus drivers are the designated supervisors of all children riding the bus.
STUDENT DRESS CODE: • Students are required to dress appropriately for school. The school’s expectations for
apparel are discussed with all students at different times throughout the school year andinclude:
• Hats, bandanas and outdoor wear are not permitted in classrooms• Students must wear indoor footwear at all times• T-shirts must not have offensive slogans or symbols depicting drug or alcohol use or
advertising• Students must change into appropriate gym attire for all gym classes/activities unless
otherwise advised• During hot weather appropriate school clothing is still required. No short shorts – mid-thigh
length is recommended as a guideline, no spaghetti straps that allow underwear to show, ormuscle shirts.
4
LEAVING THE SCHOOL OR CLASSROOM:
Students must have permission to leave the school building during school hours. Students needing to leave the school due to illness or for an appointment will be issued a permission slip from the office to be given to their classroom teacher.
CELL PHONES: Cell phone use for calls or texting is not appropriate during class times. Students are expected to leave these devices in their lockers during instructional time.
PHOTOS:
Students are not permitted to take photographs in the school using any device without prior permission from teachers or administration.
VALUABLES:
Students are strongly advised to leave their valuables at home. If a student must bring items of value to school, they should be secured at all times. General Vanier School accepts no responsibility for lost or stolen possessions.
ELECTRONIC GAMES AND DEVICES:
Electronic games and MP3 players are strongly discouraged as their use is not permitted during the instructional day. The school will not be responsible if they are lost or stolen.
BICYCLES, SKATEBOARDS, SCOOTERS, ROLLERBLADES, ETC:
Students bring bicycles, skateboards, scooter and rollerblades to school at their own risk. The school accepts no responsibility for damage to or loss of these items.
Bicycle racks are located at the north and south ends of the school. Students should stay away from these areas except when parking or retrieving their bicycle. Bicycles should be locked at all times.
In order to ensure the safety of everyone on the playground, all students are required to dismount their bicycles and walk them when on school property. Skateboards and scooters must also be dismounted and carried when on school property. Students should remove rollerblades and put on their street shoes when they reach school property.
LUNCH HOUR INFORMATION:
Lunch programs are a service that schools provide to their community. The Louis Riel School Division recognizes that providing supervision during the lunch hour accommodates parents who require supervision for their children during the lunch hour. Staying for lunch and accessing this service is a privilege and not a right.
5
Students are dismissed for lunch at 11:30 AM with classes resuming at 12:25 PM. This affords most students the opportunity to go home for lunch. The expectation is that Grade 7 and 8 students will go home for lunch. Parents of students who cannot go home for the lunch hour may register their child as a “guest” in the lunch program for a fee of $100.00 for the school year or for $1.00 per day on an occasional basis. This fee helps cover the costs of hiring Lunch Supervisors. All students registered in the lunch program are expected to demonstrate respectful behaviour. Students accessing supervised lunch shall be subject to school and divisional disciplinary guidelines, which permits temporary removal and /or suspension from attendance, as determined by the school administrator. Students who have persistent difficulties following the rules and procedures of the lunch program may have the privilege suspended as per Administrative Guideline JLIAA. If this occurs, parents are expected to make alternative out-of-school lunch hour arrangements. We ask that you discuss this with your children to help the success of the General Vanier School lunch program.
Children who stay for lunch at General Vanier School will be supervised by adult employees of the School Division (lunch supervisors) and an “on call” teacher. From 11:30-12:00 student go outside for lunch recess. From 12:00 – 12:25 they eat lunch in their classroom.
Students who remain at school for lunch are expected to:
• demonstrate respect and compliance with supervising adults• go directly outside when dismissed from their class at 11:30• show respect for all individuals and property (including food)• adhere to the school code of conduct and expectations• remain in their seat in their assigned room or area• assist with lunch clean-up routines requested by adult lunch supervisors• use appropriate voices (volume and tone)• get a note of permission from their parents if they wish to leave the school grounds during the
lunch hour
LUNCH SUPERVISORS AND STUDENT MONITORS
Paid adult lunch supervisors are on duty in the school hallways and in the playground during the lunch hour for students who are entitled to stay at lunch. Further supervision supports from Grade 4 to 8 students are in place to support the classrooms from 11:30 AM – 11:55 AM and 12:00 PM – 12:25 PM.
STUDENTS NOT EATING LUNCH AT SCHOOL
Supervision is provided only for students staying at school for lunch and paid for by their parents. Therefore, students who eat lunch at home should not arrive back at school earlier than 12:25 p.m. This improves student safety by keeping the ratio of supervisors-to-students at a reasonable level. Parents of students arriving earlier than 12:25 p.m. may be asked to contribute to the costs of supervision.
SEVERE AND LIFE THREATENING ALLERGIES
The staff and parent community of General Vanier School, strive to provide a safe environment for all our students. There are children who suffer a LIFE-THREATENING allergy to peanut butter and nuts. Even exposure to a tiny amount of these items could be potentially serious and life threatening.
6
We can help make the school environment safer, therefore ask for your co-operation.
• Avoid sending all snacks or items containing peanuts/nuts with your child to school includingfood, snacks, or chips cooked in peanut oil.
• Inform your child’s teacher before giving food products to any children, other than your own atschool.
We take care of all children with health care needs and do our utmost to ensure the safety of all students.
COLD WEATHER
When the wind-chill is -27° to -30° students will spend a maximum of 15 minutes outside at recess and the beginning of the day. Students are to remain outside prior to the bell. At a wind-chill of -30°, students remain indoors for recess. Patrols will not be required to be on duty. Parents are responsible for ensuring that their child is dressed appropriately for the weather.
CODE OF CONDUCT AND EXPECTATIONS
Students and staff are expected to exhibit a commitment to learning and to achieving success. As a division and school we believe that most students behave appropriately and that the ultimate goal underlying our policy and practice is to help students develop self- discipline. Attributes of appropriate behaviour include but are not limited to:
• respect for self and others;• empathy;• cooperation;• courtesy;• responsibility;• honesty.
Parents/guardians are expected to support the expectations of the Public Schools Act (58.6 – 58.8) that states parents will cooperate fully with the child’s teachers and other employees of the school division or school district to ensure the child complies with school and school division or school district student discipline and behaviour management policies. Adults in the learning environment can effectively support students’ ability to meet behavioural expectations with the following behaviours:
• Establish and publicize school routines.• Develop collaborative processes to establish and publicize classroom rules and
expectations for student behaviour.• Provide safe, productive learning environments characterized by an atmosphere of
respect and courtesy.• Model respect for all and promote cooperation.• Model respect for school and divisional guidelines and governance policies.• Respect the findings of current educational research, as related to behavioural
management.

PROTOCOLS FOR COMMUNICATION
At General Vanier we strive to have open communication with parents and our community members.
Our school web page is a valuable source of information with many helpful links to other documents and information. We encourage parents to check this on a regular basis as information is updated continuously. All Louis Riel schools are also linked with Twitter (https://twitter.com/vanierLRSD) and so you may also follow us for some information on current events.
For other concerns, we bring divisional protocol, to your attention, which describes the process for resolution of concerns that may come up from time to time.

LOUIS RIEL SCHOOL DIVISION
PROTOCOL FOR THE RESOLUTION OF CONCERNS The Louis Riel School Division Protocol for resolving concerns or conflicts strives to maintain positive, honest and respectful relationships to address misunderstandings that may occur between members of its school community. When such misunderstandings occur, the central priorities must be:
• the best interests of students who may be affected by the misunderstanding; • providing opportunities for the person(s) most closely involved in the misunderstanding
to resolve it promptly and conclusively. Differences of opinion are a normal part of human relationships and offer opportunities for communication, new learning and improved relationships.
In all cases, clear, timely and direct communication assists effective resolution of misunderstandings:
• When you have a concern regarding a matter involving your young person(s) and another student, beginning with your young person’s classroom teacher may help. S/he may direct the inquiry further to another classroom teacher or the administration. However, you may believe the situation is more appropriately addressed by the administration team. If whomever you decide to consult about a conflict between students is not immediately available, leave phone numbers and times when the teacher/administrator can return your call.
• If you have a concern involving a staff member, please contact that person as your first step. Again, if that person is not immediately available, leave information that will assist him/her to contact you. Once in contact with the staff member, state your concern as clearly and calmly as is possible. This is an opportunity to ensure that any missing information is provided to resolve the concern. Most, if not all, differences can be resolved satisfactorily at this level.
In either instance, if your concern is not satisfactorily resolved your next step is to speak with the Principal or Vice-Principal at the school after informing the staff member that you intend to do so. This action supports honest working relationships between parents/guardians and staff members. The majority of concerns are resolved at the school level. However, if your concern remains unresolved after discussion with the Principal or Vice-Principal, again after informing him/her of your wish to do so, contacting the Superintendent’s Department is appropriate.
If the concern cannot be resolved by contacting the Superintendent’s Department, you may then direct your concern, in writing, to the Louis Riel School Board. The Board will respond, usually following inquiries with the involved parties. The Board and the Superintendent’s Department trust that this process will result in the satisfactory resolution of those concerns which may, from time to time, arise between members of our school community. Your cooperation with this Protocol is helpful and appreciated. Communication is the key!
