School Supplies

We understand that many families like to purchase school supplies. As always, you are welcome to do this. However, the school will provide all necessary learning materials. If you need these items, please let your child’s homeroom teacher know. We recommend that you send a fillable water bottle as students will have access to water-filling stations.

Bussing

If your child qualifies for busing, please visit www.nsts.ca for updates and information regarding your child(ren)’s pick-up and drop-off location and time.

We are looking forward to a great start-up and welcoming all our Fitch Street Falcons back to school. As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school at (905) 732 – 3683.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Tracy Leemet Mrs. Katie Lagerwerf

PREVALENT MEDICAL CONDITIONS

If you have a child with a prevalent medical condition (Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Diabetes, Epilepsy or they require medication while at school), we want to make sure we have a current Plan of Care in place to support your child.

All parents of children with a prevalent medical condition are asked to fill out a Plan of Care as soon as possible and send it into the school with your child. You can download the forms by clicking on this link prevalent-medical-conditions

School Vandalism

If you are looking to report any vandalism or damages to DSBN schools or properties, please call Password Protection Services. The phone number is 1 800-561-3099. Once notified they will contact the appropriate personnel at DSBN and the issues will be dealt with in a timely manner. Thank you for your support in keeping our schools and community safe.

Parking

We want all students and families to arrive at school safely each day. Please allow enough time to ensure you are able to find parking and get to school on time. Please do not park along the fence line in our parking lot entrance as it prevents our buses from getting into the school parking lot. Also if you are walking from the plaza on Fitch Street please stay on the sidewalk and do not cut though the garage parking lot as cars are pulling in and out of the bay doors at all times of the day and we want to keep everyone safe. Please be patient and help us ensure all of our students arrive safely at school.
