Parking Lot Safety

Just a reminder parents – please do not park on the crosswalk between our school and Holy Family School.  We have already had some near misses with students and cars.

Also, if you are parking in the Staff parking lot to drop off or pick up students, please park in the spots adjacent to the lane.  The other spots are reserved for staff.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier is Scent-Free

This is just a reminder that Sir Wilfrid Laurier School is Scent-Free.  Please make sure your children do not bring colognes, perfumes, body or scented hair sprays or mists to school.

Attendance Message

  • At SWL attendance is taken for each of the seven periods of the day. If your child misses any part of a day or is late for any period, you will receive an attendance summary of all the periods not just the period missed.
  • The e-mail you will receive says, in part:
  • “This email is to inform you that your child, (Child’s name), has been marked as absent or late for either part or the whole day on (Date).
  • Below you will see some common attendance information:
    “P” before the name of the class that means the child was present for that class
    “A” before the name of the class means the child was absent for the class
    “AP” before the name of the class means the child is absent but a parent called
    “L” before the name of the class means the child was late for the class
    “FE” before the name of the class means the child was on a family holiday or event
    “LVE” before the name of the class means the child left early
    “LP” before the name of the class means late but parent called in
  • If you receive a call regarding your child’s attendance, please check your PowerSchool account for detailed attendance information. You can log in to your account at any time during the day to see the information as it is there once the teacher has submitted attendance each period of the day.
