We are eager to begin an awesome school year with staff, students and families where students are supported to reach their full potential in a Christ-centered, safe, caring learning environment. We are pleased to welcome all new families and staff to our Holy Name school community.
On the first day of school, Tuesday, September 3, 2019, we are asking the students to proceed to the following areas indicated below, where they will find Class Lists for each grade written on chart paper and taped to the school wall.
We ask students to find their name written on the appropriate class list and line up accordingly in your assigned class- please follow teacher direction. We will have support staff, i.e. Ms. Leggio, Ms. Trombona, Mme Carvalho Mme Ricco, Mme Pagniello, Aiko-Mino, Ms. Van Eyk, who will have copies of class lists with them so please feel free to approach them and find out which class your child is in.
We ask that parents make space for all to view the class lists so that all parents can assist their child in finding their names on the class lists. It can get quite crowded and difficult for the students and teachers to find one another. Please be considerate of this.

Grade 1–3: Proceed to the Primary pavement located nearest to Nicort Road/Parking Lot
Grade 4-6: Proceed to the Junior pavement

Driveway Safety:
Just a reminder to all that the bus loop located on Spring Hill Rd. is strictly reserved for buses and emergency vehicles. The bus lane is closed to all traffic except school buses. Parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to use the Kiss’N’Ride adjacent to Nicort Rd. to pick up and drop off students. At no time should cars be parked in the student drop off area of the loop. If you wish to escort your child, you need to park in the parking lot/or the road. DO NOT double park or create your own parking spot. THIS IS DANGEROUS, and strictly prohibited. Please do not park on the driveway leading up to the Kiss’N’Ride for this is off limits. Let’s work together to make the Kiss’N’Ride/Parking lot/Bus Loop, effective and safe for all. As well, please do not park in the handicapped parking spots nor the reserved parking spots.
