Dear Parents of Le Roi Daniels,
First of all, I would like to thank each of you who were able to come and drive by for the reverse parade! It was fantastic to see so many wonderful faces and see how much the students have grown in these past months!!
Secondly, your child's report card should now be accessible online in your Power School account. Please refer to last week's update for instructions on how to find your child's report cards.
Please remember to complete the following tasks over the next few weeks:
- Noon Supervision - if your child is eating lunch at school, you must register for this between August 1-31 on your Power School account
- please have your uniforms ordered and ready from McCarthy www.mccarthyuniforms.ca for the first day of school
Finally, please read in detail the immediate request for Transportation registration as it has bus stops and ridership has changed due to Covid - you MUST register to receive the email letting you know where your child will get on/off the bus. It will NOT be posted on any website. PLEASE REGISTER!!!
- Transportation Pre-Reg. Deadline Now June 30 - if you don’t register; you will not have a stop designated to you!!
As we prepare for re-entry in September and make plans that include health guidelines and physical distancing requirements for busing, it is critical that families pre-register for transportation service as soon as possible.
The transportation pre-registration deadline has been extended to June 30, 2020.
Transportation pre-registration deadline extended
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on our system and families, the transportation pre-registration deadline has been extended to June 30, 2020. This year, routes will not be publicly posted on our website as adhering to COVID-19 guidelines means we will have to assign each student to a bus and a bus stop.
Reasons to pre-register:
• If families do not pre-register for transportation service prior to the end of June, their address will not be included as bus routes are planned meaning no transportation will be available. Only registered students will receive stop information for their primary address. It may take several weeks to add a student to a route in the fall, and congregated stop locations are only reviewed once per year. As a result, your stop location may be much further away from your home, as your address was not included in the route planning.
• The use of a ZPass ridership card is mandatory to assist in contact tracing, and only registered riders are provided a ZPass ridership card. Families may request a replacement card through their PowerSchool Parent Account. (If you child still has their bus pass from last year, please keep it and attach it to their backpack for the first day of school). If you have lost your card, please order a new one by June 30 to request a new one!. If you have never used school bus services, please note that the cards will delivered to the school in the Fall.
• There is no requirement to pay at the time of registration, and there is no financial penalty if you register for bus service and cancel before the cancellation deadline of September 30, 2020.
Thank you so much for completing these tasks in a timely manner to set us up for success in the Fall.
I will provide one more update on June 30 (the last official day of school) and then you will not hear from me again until after the August 1 announcements from the Minister of Education.
Sincerely,
Andrea Taylor - Principal
