SCHOOL OPENING TIMES

Please remember that school begins at 8:55 a.m. and at 12:55 p.m. and arrival times are very important to the children’s safety and adjustment to classroom learning. Children who arrive on the playgrounds before 8:40 a.m. and 12:40 p.m. do so without benefit of school patrols or adult supervision. Let us do everything we can to ensure every child’s safety.

LUNCH PROGRAM

Please make sure you send your child’s lunch with them each and every morning. If you need to drop off a lunch for your child please make sure you tell them that it will be waiting for them in the office. The Office will no longer interrupt classes for late lunch drop offs. ALL lunches MUST have their name on it. We will NOT accept unmarked lunches in the Office.

BREAKFAST PROGRAM Wellington School offers a breakfast

program each school day for

students. Beginning at 8:20 am

students may enter the school by the

Gym doors and come to the Multi

Purpose room. They will be provided

with a breakfast and milk or juice.

Breakfast is served from 8:20 – 8:40

a.m. Monday to Friday during school

days.

MESSAGES

We encourage all families to

make lunch and after school supervision arrangements

with your children before they leave home. Our office

s o m e t i m e s b e c o m e s overloaded with these kinds of

calls and we are concerned that messages may get

delivered too late. Of course,

you would continue to make such calls when unforeseen

emergencies occur.

ATTENDANCEATTENDANCE

We would like to stress the importance of daily attendance for all

students. Attending school regularly and on time is the most important

factor in a student’s success. At this time of year it helps students develop

routines and become engaged learners in their classrooms. The Winnipeg

School Division has the services of an Attendance Officer – Mr. Doug Yuel,

who is available to help support students getting to school. Should your child

need to be away from school, we ask that you call the school and inform the

office at 204-774 8085.

Each day the Office will call all students who are away from school

unless we have received a call from home explaining the absence.

Let us work together to ensure all students are in school daily and on

time to receive their education and develop to their full potential.

To celebrate our first month of good attendance all students at school on Wednesday, September 30th will enjoy a pancake breakfast.
