The School Day
The entry / exit times are as follows:
Nursery / Kindergarten a.m.: 8:50 - 11:30 a.m.
Nursery / Kindergarten p.m.: 12:55 - 3:30 p.m.
Grades 1 - 6: 8:50 - 3:30 p.m.
Students are expected to enter and leave the building in a quiet and orderly manner using their designated exits and entrances. Upon entry, students should go directly to their lockers and then proceed to their classrooms as quickly as possible.
Recess Periods
Children in Grades 1 - 6 are expected to go outside for a 15 minute recess both in the morning and afternoon. Recess is indoors if it is raining or if the wind temperature is - 28 º Celsius or lower. If the children are well enough to attend school, it is our policy that they are also well enough to go out for recess. The following times are designated recess periods:
a.m. 10:30 - 10:45
p.m. 2:30 - 2:45
Attendance and Call Back System
Students who are not in attendance during the morning or afternoon at École J. B. Mitchell School are part of a call back system. Teachers report the names of children who are absent, and one of our staff telephones the parent / guardian of every child for whom we did not receive prior notification regarding the absence. The order of priority is to phone the home, the work and then the emergency contact. In order to ensure student safety, it is imperative that parents / guardians notify us of any students' absences / late arrivals. Students who arrive at school late are instructed to report to the office first to receive a late slip before going to their homerooms.
Student Information
It is of the utmost importance for the school to have the proper student address, home telephone number, parent's business telephone number, and a friend or relative's telephone number for each child in case of emergencies or illness. Please notify the school of any changes as the situation arises.
Administering Medication to Students
It is the Winnipeg School Division policy that any medication required to be administered during school hours must be accompanied with a note from the physician indicating the name of the drug, the dosage required and any other instructions necessary for the prescription to be given appropriately. The medication will be kept in a locked cupboard and dispensed by staff personnel.
