A reminder to our families that our school operates a safe arrival program that requires that we check the whereabouts of all students who are absent each day. It is important that parents/guardians let us know if their child is going to be absent or late. We have a 24 hour absence reporting line. When you call in (905) 477-2172 option #1, please clearly state your child’s name and teacher.

All visitors entering the building must use the front door and buzz the office. The doors will be opened by office staff only and should not be opened by parents/guardians or caregivers who are waiting in the front foyer for their children.

We would like to remind all of our families that our goal is to work together to support the well-being of all our students. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to working in partnership with our Parkview Community.
