Safety at Grant Road School
Lunchrooms
We require ALL students who use
our lunchrooms to complete a registration form stating whether they will be
REGULAR users or CASUAL users. We take
attendance for all students registered as REGULAR users. For these individuals to be excused on any
day you wish, please send an agenda note, note or call informing us. There is a fee for this service (Cash
Online). Please call 306 539 5971 or
email lori.kukrua@rbe.sk.ca
to discuss the fee. There are times when
making this payment is a hardship.
Please call, and let me know.
Drills
We have regularly schedule
‘evacuate the building’, ‘secure the facility’ and ‘lockdown’ drills. Students are expected to learn how to keep
themselves and others safe by practicing properly.
Off Site Evacuation Location
Thank you to Hillsdale Baptist Church (formerly Whitmore
Park United Church) for agreeing
to let us evacuate to their facility in poor weather or when the circumstances
dictate. KNOW that in such an event you
will have to SIGN OUT your child prior to taking him/her home with you.
Secure the Building/Lockdowns
If you learn that our school is
in ‘secure the building’ or ‘lockdown’ mode meaning an intruder is outside the
building or in the building (ask your kids the difference) DO NOT COME TO THE
SCHOOL. Your doing so puts you at risk,
and you will not be permitted to enter the building. We take our direction from the police.
Dropping Off and Picking Up Your Children
Do not enter the school
lots. Do not park in the school
lots. Both put your child at risk. We talk a lot to students about staying out
of the parking lots.
Please use the cross walks if
crossing the street. We want you to
reinforce pedestrian safety that we teach them.
Police Information Checks
Consider getting a Police
Information Check completed NOW (CRC).
They cost $10.00 through the City Police. Prior to going to the station, you will need
to come to the office and present photo ID.
The reason to consider getting this completed now is because often what
has happened is that you discover last minute that you may be able to accompany
your child’s class on an excursion or with a school project. In the absence of a PIC you will not be
allowed to help. These PIC take a while
to process, so getting one early is a good idea.
Fair
Warning: Violent Threat Risk Assessment
(VTRA)
We live in an age where children have been harmed at
school by others. Uttering threats are
taken seriously. Saying, “I didn’t mean
it.” or “It was just a joke.” don’t excuse the child from responsibility for
his/her actions. The fact that a child
said it in the heat of the moment does not excuse the child from responsibility
for their action. There is a procedure we
are required to follow in which we involve our school counselor, psychologist
and resource officer whose job it is to determine the level of threat the
action posed. Please know that we will
take uttering threats, bringing to school weapons be they real or fake and putting
others at risk very seriously. When we
are made aware of these situations, we will act on them.
Child Protection
Please know that if a child
disclosing fear or injury, we are obligated to contact social services. It isn’t our job to determine if the claim is
truthful. It is our job to report to the
Ministry of Social Services.
|
Contact
Us
Please
contact us when you don’t understand something we have done. Please contact us to clarify things. Please contact us when you are
concerned. We really do want to know
how to make Grant Road School a safe and caring place for your children and
for you.

Childcare
Providers
If
you are a childcare provide, and would like your name made available to
community members seeking this service,
please
email lori.kukura@rbe.sk.ca, and provide her with
what you would like shared. Our goals
are to have a comprehensive listing of all providers that we may share with
Grant Road families. Feel free to call
306 539 5971 if you prefer.
Kev
Online
Whenever
possible, it is the school division’s preference that fees be paid through the
Kev Online cash process. Contact Mrs.
Ewing at 306 791 8590 if you have questions about this.
