Please know that the most up-to-date information about school events will always be found on our website. Check the site regularly :  http://www.yrdsb.ca/schools/bondlake.ps/Pages/default.aspxOccasionally, other timely items (including letters from the Board/Director) will need to be emailed                           outside of the Weekly Wave cycle, but our intention is to limit communication to one weekly email.                                 We enjoyed great success with this format last year and hope it continues to be valuable to our                                   families.   

SIGNING YOUR CHILD OUT OF SCHOOL--new procedure 

At the start of the school year you are given the opportunity to sign the Board’s form to                                   provide permission for your child to sign out of school for lunch each day. We must always                                 have your signature to authorize a student’s departure from school. If your child would like                             to leave school property for a special lunch or if they need to leave during the school day, we                                     require your signature authorization. Please send in a dated and signed note for each                           occasion your child has your permission to leave school (unless you signed the form at the                               beginning of the year). We will not be accepting emails or phone calls to allow your child to                                   leave school. You can sign a note, take a picture on your phone and email it to our school                                     email if you are unable to personally sign out your child or if you don’t have access to a fax                                       machine. Our school email address is: bond.lake.ps@yrdsb.ca and our fax # is 905                         313-0687.

Transportation in the Morning Parents/guardians, please do not block the entrance to the bus loop in the                         morning or after school. The buses need to enter and exit and cannot do so if it                                 is congested with traffic. Additionally, please never drive in the bus loop.                       Finally, remember that we are not to walk across the bus loop in front of the                               school by the flagpole. Thank-you.
