About Our School Holyrood School Mission Statement Holyrood School is a school with high standards and a safe learning environment where students are treated with dignity and respect and are encouraged to strive for excellence so every student will have the opportunity to become a responsible, educated, and caring citizen in an ever-changing world.

An answering machine will take messages prior to 8:30 a.m. on the Absentee Check Line, 466-2608. Holyrood Student Conduct Plan At Holyrood School, we believe: Our school-wide student behaviour plan is based on having students take responsibility for their actions. Pro-active programs (e.g., our school's student leadership, positive recognition, and character education programs) and taking advantage of "teachable moments" that appear throughout the school year, provide opportunity for students to learn about appropriate behaviour and good citizenship. In brief, our plan expects that should a student choose to misbehave, he or she will be expected to accept responsibility for his or her behaviour, reflect on its consequences, and examine alternative ways to behave. Our plan is flexible. The fashion in which misbehaviours are dealt with and the consequences that may be applied depends on the severity and the nature of the misbehaviour. An out-of-school suspension, under the authority provided by the School Act, may be issued for any offence deemed by the school administration to be particularly serious. Lunch Program The Holyrood Lunch Program is a service provided to students and their families and operates on all school days. Inquiries about the lunch program can be made by phoning the Lunch Program Coordinator at 466-2292 between the hours of 12:45 p.m. & 1:30 p.m. Students in the lunch program will have up to 25 minutes to eat their lunch, after which time they will clean up and then will be sent outside. Please ensure your child is properly attired for the weather conditions (e.g., rain or snow). The time spent outside will be adjusted according to the weather conditions. The fees are $16.00 per month per student for full time lunchers. For families with three or more children, the monthly family fee is $40.00 Students making use of the lunch program on an occasional basis will be charged $2.00/day if paying by cash. Lunch program tickets for occasional users may be purchased from the general office program office at a cost of 10 tickets for $20.00. We recommend that lunch program tickets be used instead of cash! Our lunch program operates as a "closed campus". Students participating in our lunch program are to remain on the school grounds and are not allowed to leave unless authorized. If you have made arrangements to have your child have lunch at a friend's home or elsewhere, please advise the school, in advance (a note is best). It is expected that all students, while attending Holyrood School or participating in school sponsored activities, will wear clothing that reflects a standard of acceptability, as interpreted by the school ("spaghetti straps" and midriff revealing tops, "short" shorts, t-shirts with inappropriate graphics or text do not meet the standard of acceptability) and that all clothing worn to school, including footwear, be appropriate for the activity and the weather conditions. Should a student's choice of dress not meet the school's standard of acceptability or appropriateness and other clothing not be available at school, parents will be contacted and the student will be sent home to change. Parents are welcome at Holyrood School and are invited to visit classrooms but are asked to check with the teacher beforehand (to help ensure their visit will not disrupt classroom activities). The school is able to provide the students with an enhanced educational experience when parents take an active role in the school routines and special events. |
