For the first weeks morning drop offs will remain the same as last year. Busses will drop students off at the École Selkirk Junior High entrance on Sophia Street. Students being driven to school are to be dropped off at that same location.
Supervision will be provided there from 8:25 a.m. until 8:45 a.m when the students are marshalled and walked into school. Starting September 21st, 2016, the morning drop off will be at the sidewalk between the parking lot and Robert Smith School for both bussed students and students being dropped off.
Please note that for safety reasons, parents are not to enter the staff parking lot off Sophia in the morning. There is no visitor parking available and the parking lot is very busy in the morning with staff from three schools arriving. Please park on a side street and walk your students to the marshalling area.
