FIRE DRILLS AND REGULATIONS

Six fire drills are held each year, and every student is well versed in the drill procedure and exit route from the school building. Students are reminded to follow instructions quickly and quietly. Always assume that when the fire bell rings, it is because of a real fire.

Do not assume that it is merely a drill.

Ensure that you know your emergency exit routes. They are shown on a chart in each room in the school and vary according to the room. Tampering with the fire alarm systems and fire fighting equipment is extremely dangerous and is an indictable offense which could result in exclusion from school.

SMOKING POLICY

Smoking is considered to be harmful to health by medical authorities. It is therefore incumbent upon school authorities to discourage smoking at all times. New provincial laws prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from smoking.  Therefore, only students who are 18 or over may be permitted to step off school grounds for the purpose of smoking.  Students that are under 18 and caught smoking may be reported to the RCMP.  Any student caught smoking on school grounds will receive a one-day out of school suspension.  Any repeated offences will constitute additional suspension days.

School division policy states our school is a , therefore smoking by staff and adult visitors to the school will also only be permitted off school grounds.

CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY

The spirit of pride for our school, its appearance and its accomplishments have developed because of the high caliber of students attending the school. We are certain that the student body will continue to bring credit to our school.

Where accidental breakage occurs, we urge students to immediately inform the office. Since the school is responsible for the cost of repair to school property, outside of regular maintenance, students can expect to be billed for replacement costs or repairs.
