Bicycles and Scooters<\/strong>:\u00a0 Students must lock up their bicycles and scooters in the bicycle racks<\/u> along the west side of the school.\u00a0 The twisty locks work well for scooters.\u00a0 Unfortunately, students cannot store bicycles\/scooters inside the school\/classrooms because this creates a safety hazard for all staff and students.\u00a0 Thank you in advance for your cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal Digital Devices<\/strong>:\u00a0 At Laity View Elementary, students are discouraged from bringing personal digital devices to school.\u00a0 This is because when students need to use technology as part of their learning, they will usually use the devices provided by the school.\u00a0 Our expectation is that cell phones are not used or turned on during the school day from 8:30 am to 2:20 pm<\/strong>.\u00a0 After school students should use their cell phones outside of the building.\u00a0 However, a staff member may grant a student permission to use a cell phone or other personal digital device for educational purposes during class time for purposes of inclusion and accessibility (e.g., digital literacy, communication, medical and health needs, and as defined within an individual education plan).\u00a0 Students who bring devices to school do so at their own risk.\u00a0 Parents wishing to contact their children during the school day can do so by calling our school phone at\u00a0(604) 463-7108.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accidental Injury to Student<\/strong>:\u00a0 The School District does not pay medical\/dental costs arising from injury sustained by a student while on school grounds or\u00a0while participating in school activities.\u00a0 Such costs are the responsibility of the parent or guardian.\u00a0\u00a0If needed, parents or guardians\u00a0may purchase coverage from organizations that offer student accident programs.\u00a0 Examples of such vendors include\u00a0Insure My<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Kids<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Study Insured Student Accident<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Student Verification Forms<\/strong>:\u00a0 Please check, sign, and date these important forms and have your childreturn the form to their teacher.\u00a0 It is imperative the school receives this form back for every student assoon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drop Off\/Pick Up Reminders<\/strong>:\u00a0 When in the drop off\/pick up lane, please remember to pull close to the yellow curb, stay in your vehicle, and keep driving your vehicle forward <\/strong>after the cars in front of you pull out to leave.\u00a0 In addition, the BUS LANE on the south side of the island is for buses only and is not a drop off\/pick up area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parent Portal Consent Forms<\/strong> \u2013 Please ensure that you complete the\u00a02024\/2025 SD42 Consent Forms on the portal.\u00a0 Please read through each form in order to give permission or not provide permission for each child in your family at Laity View Elementary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n
