ATTENDANCE:

  1. Lates: a student will be considered “late” after the 8:45am bell. If their teacher has already taken the attendance when they arrive to class, the student must sign-in at the office and collect a late slip to let their teacher know they have signed in at the office.  All lates will be considered “unexcused” unless a parent has notified the office prior to arriving.
  2. Absences: if your child will not be attending school please either phone and leave a message on the office answering machine (604-981-1210) or email the teacher and copy the Chartwell office (chartwell@wvschools.ca). Please call/email each day unless you have notified the office of a long term absence.  If no notification is given, the office will email or phone to confirm your child’s absence.
  3. Long Term Absences:  if you know that your child will be away for several days (for example, on vacation), please contact the office and inform us of your child’s last day of attendance before leaving and first day of attendance upon return. You will not need to call in everyday and will not be notified during your time away.

PARKING:

Please be aware that there is currently no visitor parking in the Chartwell lot.  Street parking is available both above and below the property with walk-in access to the school.

During drop-off/pick-up times please heed the signs. There should be no parking or stopping in the round-about.

Volunteers/Visitors:

Visitors are welcome; however, they must proceed directly to the office. Upon arrival, please ensure that you sign in at the office. You must also sign out upon leaving. Besides the obvious reasons, in the event of an emergency, it is imperative that we know who is in the building.

  • The New People in the Room
    There is a moment every four years when a newly elected Board of Education gathers around the table for the first time. The room looks much the same. The table is the same, the agenda follows a familiar format, and the superintendent and senior staff are often the same people who were there a month […]
  • What We Notice
    A few months ago I wrote a post marking thirty years in education, 30 Things I Believe About Education After 30 Years. In the comments, longtime educator Paul Bogush asked me a question that I have continued to think about. With one year left before his retirement, Paul was thinking about the gap between building […]
  • Teacher Is Still the Best Title
    World Teachers’ Day has always been one of my favourite days to mark on this blog. That is probably not a surprise. I come from a family of teachers. I started teaching at 22. I met my wife through education. Thirty years after I first walked into a classroom, it remains the only profession I […]
