Holy Redeemer Catholic School, September 22

School - Student Safety!

Dear parents,

Please note that Holy Redeemer in consultation with the local RCMP and Peace Officers have created a one-way entrance within our parking lot. This will assist in keeping our students safe and allow for a natural flow of traffic. If you are picking up your students after school, please have them wait at the front of the school until the busses depart to enter the parking lot in a safe way. Thank you for your patience as we try to work with our EICS transportation department to develop a safe atmosphere within our parking lot.

AM - Vehicles will be able to pass by the busses in the morning until 7:50 a.m.

PM - Vehicles will be able to pass by the busses after school until 2:30 p.m.
