Student Safety - Entry and Dismissal Procedures

Your child's safety is very important to the staff of Carleton Public School.

The Ministry of Education has a “Safe Welcome Program” as a part of the comprehensive Safe School Action Plan. To comply with the Ministry’s program, and most importantly to ensure student safety. all parents and visitors are asked to PLEASE CHECK IN AT THE OFFICE. All visitors and guests of Carleton Public School, including parents, are asked to only access the school through the front door, check in at the office, and sign in using the “Visitor Sign In” book located in the main office. Please be aware that all exterior doors will be locked at all times. Our students have been reminded that they are not to open the door for anyone, as access into the school will only occur through the front main entrance door. Our visitors will be required to ring the bell for the lock to be released by the staff, and then proceed to the office. We strive to maintain our school as a safe and secure learning environment for our students. All students will be expected to enter and exit through their assigned doors during regular entry and dismissal times. Students arriving late or leaving early must report to the office.

We are asking that parents of all students please allow your child to enter the school with their classmates and to develop the independence and routine of the settling into their classrooms. This is also to ensure the safety of our students as any visitors in the hallways are to sign in at the office prior to going down to classrooms.

Parents who are meeting their child at the end of the school day are asked to wait outside of the building to ensure the smooth and safe dismissal of ALL the children. Should your child need to be picked up sometime during the school day for appointments, please come to the office and wait for your child to arrive at the office. Students should make all arrangements for after school activities before arriving at school in the morning. Please help us in promoting responsibility amongst our students.If you would like to speak to a teacher before or after school, please call in advance to make an appointment.
