The Upper Primary encourages and welcomes parents to take an active role in their Child's education. Parent volunteers are needed in a variety of ways to assist in the operation of the school. Working in the library, acting as a resource in the classroom, providing clerical help, chaperoning school parties, going on field trips and working with the Parent Faculty Organization (PFO) are some of the many services parents have generously provided in the past (see page 42 for more on parent groups).
When parents visit school to volunteer or visit the classroom, we request that they wear visitor badges. All parents and other visitors must register with the security guard before entering the school. This is to monitor visitors and to ensure a safe school environment.
Upper Primary has a security system which allows parents to enter the school with a picture ID card. This is optional and information on how to obtain a parent ID card will be provided at the start of the school year, during Orientation Day and Back to School Night.
