School Cell Phone Policy
To ensure a safe and respectful environment at our school, it is important for students to have their phones turned off while on school property. If you need to contact your child during school hours or if your child needs to contact you for some reason, you can call the school at 416-393-0570.
Please take a moment to review our school cell phone policy.
