2021-2022 School Year
A message from your Principal
Dear Parents:
I would like to welcome all of our students and families back to school! We are excited to start another year of learning!
With this very different start to the school year, we wanted to provide you with a reference guide that we hope will help answer questions and ensure a smooth transition to our new learning environment. In order to accommodate the changing nature of the pandemic, the format of this reference book is interactive and contains live links that will be updated as new information is received. Check back frequently to find the most updated information.
Our number one priority is the safety of our students and staff. In this guide, you will find information that explains the measures that we have put in place to accomplish this goal.
You will also find information about student supplies, arrival and dismissal, what happens if your child falls ill as well as some other great resources. We encourage you to review the book with your children.
We are here to answer any questions that you may have. Please call us at 613-521-5894 or email the school at Bernard@ocsb.ca and we will be happy to get back to you. Follow us on Twitter @BernardOCSB to see updates.
