School Drop-off
Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten students
Parents with children in JK and K are permitted to purchase a parking pass for the full school year, allowing parents to park for 10 minutes in the parking lot behind the school to bring their young children to class.
Grades K–12 students
Parents of students in Grades K–12 are welcome to drive into the underground parkade each morning after 8.15 am.
Students are not permitted to exit their vehicle until it has come to a stop at the sidewalk.
Cars are required to pull up as far as possible along the sidewalk before coming to a complete stop in order to keep traffic moving.
Students are required to exit their vehicle safely on the sidewalk side of the vehicle, which is supervised by staff.
Supervision during morning drop-off in the parkade, on the crosswalks around the school, and the JK and K entrance, is provided by staff who help direct traffic.
Parking on Rousseau Street directly in front of the school is not permitted and must be kept clear at all times.
Please follow the directions of staff supervising traffic management at all times.
Please remember that all parking in the underground parkade is for staff use only, and parents are not permitted to park there at any time.
