Early Dismissal
If a
student must leave during the school day, a note requesting early dismissal must
be written in the agenda and brought to the office. If an emergency arises
during the morning or the afternoon sessions, a student may leave school only
after signing out at the office. We will contact a parent for permission. The
student is required to bring a note to the office the following day for our
records.
Attendance
Regular attendance is expected of everyone. Students who are habitually absent
or excused for part of the day jeopardize their academic success. Parents are
asked to ensure that students attend faithfully and are absent only through
illness or unavoidable circumstances. Parents must advise the office when
students will be absent for the day.
A Parent/Guardian must sign and date a note (found in the student agenda),
stating the reason and the duration of the absence. The student must bring their
agenda to the office on the first day of their return.
Punctuality
Students are expected to be punctual and to attend all classes and chosen
extra-curricular activities. The interruption of lessons and the inconveniencing
of fellow students are not acceptable and, consequently, disciplinary action
will result.
Classes begin at 8:55 a.m. A student who arrives after 8:55 a.m. will be
marked late by the homeroom teacher. Any student arriving after 8:55 a.m. must
report to the office. Students arriving late for class during the day are
reported late by the subject teacher.
Any student arriving late for class during the day will be required to report to
the detention room at 12:45 p.m. where he or she will work constructively until
1:15 p.m. Lunchtime detentions are given for various infractions. Any student
who misses this detention will be suspended. Chronic tardiness or missed
detentions will result in notification of parents, students being sent home,
suspension and/or a meeting with parents.
Emergency Communication Form/Medical Form
Parents and/or guardians are asked to complete an emergency communication form
which will give the school information as to where parents or guardians of
students can be contacted in case of emergency, illness or injury. Please return
this card promptly to the school in September. Students who require the
administration of medication must return a signed medical waiver form that will
be distributed in
September. Please notify the office immediately of any changes that occur during
the school year.
Reports
Reports are issued four times during the school year. These reports are based on
class tests, homework assignments, projects and examination results. All reports
are taken home and a parental signature is required on the report card envelope.
The envelope must be returned to the homeroom teacher to indicate that the
report has been seen.
For students writing MELS exams, the mark indicated on the June report card is
the school mark only. The final mark, which the student will receive from the
Ministry in mid-July, is a composite of the Ministry examination and the school
mark.
Parent/Teacher Interviews
In
addition to the assigned Parent/Teacher interview nights, parents wishing to
meet with the administration or staff concerning their child’s progress are
asked to make an appointment through the main office by calling 514 637 2505.
Promotion
A
student must obtain 60% in a subject in order to receive credits and to move on
to the next academic level. The Lester B. Pearson School Board offers a summer
school program for Secondary I, II & III for students who are not initially
successful. Summer school for these levels is given in the core subjects only
(English, French and Math). It should be noted that a student must achieve a
mark of at least 45% to be eligible for summer school. The school will
officially notify students and parents on the June report card if the student is
a candidate for summer school. Students who fail too many subjects may not avail
themselves of summer school. For more information, please visit the
Lester B. Pearson
website.
Books
Textbooks are supplied to students without charge. Books are the property of the
School Board and must be returned to the school at the end of the year, or upon
withdrawal from the school during the term. Any loss or damage beyond
reasonable wear must be paid for in full. Once a textbook has been issued,
it is the student’s responsibility to look after it carefully. Parents are asked
to ensure that students cover textbooks in plain brown paper or plastic which
should NOT be fastened to the textbook itself. Arrangements for final report
card pick-up may be made if there are any outstanding charges for textbooks,
library books or fines not paid by the end of the year.
Homework
Homework is essential to the learning process as
it helps students to develop good study habits and to consolidate what has been
taught or discussed in class. Students are encouraged to make complete and well
organized notes for each subject. Students are expected to complete and return
assignments on their due date. Strengths and weaknesses of the assignment are
conveyed to the students. It is recommended that students do between 1 and 2 ½
hours of homework each evening. If no written work is assigned, this time should
be spent reviewing material. This review will ready the students for upcoming
tests. Students who fail to do their homework may be asked to remain after
school by their subject teacher. A repeated offense or a failure to report to
the subject teacher will result in a letter being sent home to parents. Repeated
offenses will be reported to the office and a meeting with parents, teacher and
student will be arranged.
Student
Agenda
Each student is issued an Agenda Book at the beginning of the school year. The cost of this agenda book is included in the school fees. This book should be carried by the student to each class and used to write down homework assignments. This book is also used as a hall pass if students must leave class for any reason as well as for parent/school communication. If the student loses their agenda, they will be expected to purchase a new one from the school at a cost of $8.00.
School Supplies
School supplies must be purchased by the student
according to teacher specifications.
Transportation
See "School
Board Policy on Transportation" (under
Transportation Documentation) on the Lester B. Pearson School Board's web site.
Student School Fee
The school fees include a fee for each
course and a basic activity fee. This fee also covers the cost of the yearbook,
the school agenda, gym shirt, lunch hour supervision and many activities
throughout the school year. Secondary V students will be required to pay an
additional fee for the rental of graduation gowns and caps.
The school does not receive funds for special events from the School Board;
therefore, they must be self-financed if activities are to continue. Parents are
asked to contact the school if special arrangements for payment are required.
The excuse of non-participation cannot be accepted. Activities are available for
all.
Cafeteria
Our
school cafeteria offers the students a good variety of healthy foods at
reasonable prices during recess and lunch. Lunch includes such items as: hot
soups, hot meals, nutritious fast foods, vegetables, salads, desserts and
beverages. The complete meal, including soup and dessert, costs under $3.50. The
students may purchase all items at affordable prices. Students may buy a lunch
or bring one from home. However, they are expected to eat in the cafeteria.
Parent/Teacher Communication Protocol
Parents who have questions or concerns may want to follow this suggested procedure. Please always try to address the teacher first.
-
A note to the teacher via the agenda
-
A call to the school office requesting a call from the teacher
-
A call to the school office to request an appointment with a teacher
-
A call to the school office to request a call from an administrator
-
A meeting with administration and resource personnel
Please leave both work and home phone numbers so that a teacher or an administrator can return your call after school hours when necessary.
