BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY
As the new school year approaches, the Winnipeg Police
Service would like to remind parents and guardians of the
importance of the safety of our children as they go to and from
school. Each year, serious safety hazards are created when
children are being dropped off and picked up from school. Parents
and guardians who are stopping or parking their vehicles while
dropping their children off are reminded to do so in an appropriate
and legal fashion.
Drivers should be abiding with the pick up and drop off
programs that are already established for your school.
If your child walks to school, walk with your child several
times to familiarize them with the route and point out traffic
hazards and situations to avoid. As the distance from home to

school increases, so does the risk of encountering traffic safety
hazards.
Talk to your child about traffic safety and teach them when and
where it is safest to cross while stressing the importance of using
crosswalks and abiding by the direction of School Patrols. Children
should visually scan potential dangerous areas such as parking lots
and driveways for vehicles.
Parents, guardians and other motorists should consider the
volume and speed of the traffic in your area. Be mindful of
children in the area and pay particular attention near schools as
children could dart from between vehicles at any time.
Stop signs on buses picking up and dropping off children
must always be respected. Anyone not stopping when a school
bus has its stop sign and lights activated may be subject to a fine
under the Highway Traffic Act.
From the Lunch Room
A Peanut/Nut Free School
Just a reminder that École Van Belleghem
has an increasing number of students who
suffer from severe peanut/nut allergies.
We must, as a community, work together to
provide a safe environment for these children.
Once again we ask you to ensure that NO
peanut/nut products enter our building.
Please read the list of
ingredients carefully as many labels
read “MAY CONTAIN”.
These food items are not allowed
at École Van Belleghem as a trace
amount of nuts may lead to a
severe anaphylactic reaction.
We thank you for your understanding with
this important matter.
MILK …is sold in the lunchroom for seventyfive
cents (white or chocolate).
EASY BUTTON: Purchase a milk card from
the office for $15.00 (cash or cheque) .
Ensure your child's name is on his/her milk
card as we cannot be responsible for lost
cards.
The Lunch Lady provides a hot lunch
service to our school every Thursday.
Order online within 3 days of any lunch date
