Morning Drop Off
Curbside drop off and pick up is available on the east side of the building through the east side parking lot. Please drop your child off in the east parking lot and have them enter the school at the front entrance. When using the drop-off lane, please pull down as far as possible to accommodate other families waiting behind you.
If while dropping off your child in the morning, You are planning on accompanying your child into school, please park in the east parking lot and escort them to the front entrance and sign in the office as a visitor.
Afternoon Dismissal
Students who are getting picked up from school are dismissed at 3:15PM from the classrooms. You are welcome to lineup and wait in your car before that time.
If you choose to park and walk get your student, you can use the BLUE parking lot in our east parking lot which is assigned to families.
As you have probably noticed, dismissal is a busy time, so we ask two things:
- Please, be patient with other families and our LC staff.
- Please, show grace to our families and LC staff.
Know that student safety is our top priority, so we will do our best to make sure dismissal runs smoothly.
For students who are walkers, they will be dismissed with teachers at 3:20-3:25. So you can wait for them in the parent pick up area.
Electronic Devices Policy
While many students own technology equipment including cell phones, Phones, iPods, personal gaming systems, etc. the use of such devices is prohibited at school. These devices can create unnecessary distractions in the building. Students are discouraged from bringing these devices to school. If a parent or guardian considers it necessary for their student to bring these electronic items to school we suggest they remain hidden within backpacks, pockets or submitted to classroom teachers for safe keeping. Little Canada is not responsible for theft or damage to such items. If an electronic device becomes a distraction it will be confiscated.
- First offense: Student will be asked to put the device away.
- Second offense: Item will be confiscated by staff member and held until the end of the day.
- Third offense: Item will be confiscated by staff member and placed in the office. The item may be returned to the student following an administrative conference.
- Fourth offense: the confiscated item will remain in the office until a parent/guardian is able to reclaim the item following an administrative conference.
School Breakfasts and Lunches
Each student will again receive a free breakfast and a free lunch this school year! Students will still need to enter their lunch PIN number so we can track how many meals are served each day.
You can find more information about this process at our district nutrition services website linked here.
Complete Educational Benefits Form
ALL families need to complete the educational benefits form. Even though each student receives a free meal this school year, we still need families to complete the form. It unlocks other benefits AND it provides additional funding for Little Canda.
This is a HUGE priority for us this year. We will work to ensure that 100% of our families complete the form. My apologies in advance for all the reminders and contacts you will receive this fall. Please complete it even if you think your family income exceeds any benefit. Each application received helps our school!
