School Arrival

Let’s make the school zone safer for all students by reducing parent/guardian car traffic at the school. On days when your family really needs to drive, please park a little farther away and Walk-A-Block. See a map created by OSTA to support Walk A Block to help reduce the amount of street traffic around OLV.

OLV is still your home school and the front office staff are happy to answer questions you may have :)

FLOOR MARKINGS
In our hallways we will have floor markings and directional arrows reminding students to keep two metres apart. OLV will be primarily 1 way flow of traffic.

On the pavement areas there will be markers to help students remain 2m apart when entering/exiting the school building.

HANDWASHING
When students enter or leave their classroom they will clean their hands; either with soap or hand sanitizer.

SIGNAGE
Throughout the building and classrooms there will be visuals to support students and staff around our new school protocols.

MASKS
Students in grades 4-6 and staff are required to wear masks. It is strongly recommended that students in kindergarten to grade 3 also wear masks but it is not mandatory.
