You need to ensure you have a current and valid “Security Police Clearance” prior to volunteering in the school. Only individuals with active clearances can volunteer in classrooms and on field trips. Volunteers sign in and out at the main office and wear a Volunteer Lanyard while in the building. Contact the school office for more information or to renew a Security Clearance. Our Parent Council Volunteer Co-ordinator is Angela Loh. Please complete the Parent Council Volunteer Registration form on our website which will then allow our Parent Council to contact you to inform you of volunteer opportunities as they arise. Student Drop Off We would ask that all parents refrain from using the visitor/staff parking lot as a drop off or pick up area for students. Please determine an alternate site to meet your children. As there is only one entrance/exit to this space, we have already had several near fender benders and near misses with students. Bike Safety We have had several students injured while riding their bikes this year. Please ensure that your child wears a helmet at all times and that they refrain from doing tricks or stunts on their bikes while riding to or from school. Also please ensure your child has a bike lock. As we are short on bike racks, please be aware that students may need to lock their bikes to other students’ bikes. Lunchroom Grades 4 - 6 Grade 4-6 students are eligible to be part of our 4-day lunchroom program. The cost of this service is $185.00. Parents must register their students for this program. We are expecting that grade 4- 6 students who are not registered in the lunch room have made arrangements with parents to walk home or to be picked up to have lunch off campus. Attendance is taken daily at lunch to ensure that all students registered are in the program each day. In order for a student to be excused from the lunch program, a parent must contact the office, send a note, or come to the office and sign-out their child. Timely notification is appreciated. Students who are not registered in the lunch program are able to stay for lunch for a daily drop in fee of $5.00. Families can purchase a 5 pack lunch pass for $25.00. Students can bring this pass to the office and it will be stamped when the lunch room service is accessed. Students require a note from their parents indicating their child is staying for lunch that day. This should be handed in to to office at the beginning of the day so that we can update our lunch attendance. Lunch room fees should now be paid. More information about Noon Supervision Fees can be found at: http://www.cbe.ab.ca/Parents/fees.asp For further information contact 403-817-7888. Before and After School Care Captain Nichola Goddard School, in conjunction with the Thornhill Child Care Society, are pleased to be offering a Before and After School Care Program. There is still space available and interested parents should contact Taz at 3 | 8
