It is the responsibility of parents to drop off kindergarten children at their entry door and to pick them up at the end of the school day.
All children must be supervised by a parent/caregiver on the school yard until staff supervision begins at 8:45 a.m. and after it ends at 3:40 p.m. Students are expected to enter the school with their classmates on the ringing of the entry bell at 8:58 a.m. Parents/guardians are kindly asked to say goodbye to their children outside of the school and yard to reinforce their growing independence.
Safe Arrival
If you know that your child will be away or arriving late, please call our main office phone number at (416) 394-2388 and press #1 to report an absence. This line is available 24 hours a day. If the school has not been notified of your child’s absence, the automated system will call and email until an appropriate response has been entered.
Successful academic, social and emotional growth is highly dependent upon regular and punctual school attendance. It is with this basic premise in mind that students at J.R. Wilcox are expected to attend school regularly and punctually. Students who arrive late miss learning already in progress and interrupt the learning for others. Children who are late must sign in at the office before going to class.
If, for any reason, a student has to leave school early, a note should be sent to school indicating the reason for the early dismissal. Parents are required to sign students out in the office when they leave the school during school hours.
Keeping Us Informed
Office staff are in the office from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A telephone answering machine is on outside office hours or when the office administrator and Principal are out of the office so that parents may leave messages at (416) 394- 2388.
If you move or change the phone number or address of your home/business or emergency contact people, it is critical that the school office be informed in writing so that our data can be up to date.
