Nursery and Kindergarten students need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian or daycare and can be dropped off after 8:55 a.m. and 12:55 p.m. in their classrooms. Attendance Regular attendance at school is one of the keys to a student’s success. Please ensure that your child is in school each and every day. Should your child be absent from school, please call the school office. If attendance issues develop, the following procedures will be followed: • The parent/guardian will be contacted by the student’s teacher. • If the absences persist, a formal letter will be sent home informing the parent/guardian about the number of absences and the need to improve the attendance rate. • If an improvement in attendance does not occur, a second formal letter will be issued and sent home. This letter will highlight the steps/support the school will take to improve the student’s attendance. • If there is no improvement in attendance after attempts to contact the home, the service of the Winnipeg School Division’s Attendance Officer, will be further used to support the child’s regular attendance at school. After a prolonged absence you may be asked for a doctor’s note to indicate the severity of your child’s illness and the expected date of return. Winnipeg School Division Page 7 Students who arrive late, after 9:01 a.m. or 1:01 p.m., must sign in at the office before they go to their classrooms. Call Back Program Child safety is the main purpose for the Call Back Program. If a student has not arrived at school for the day, and the school has not received a call from home explaining that the child will be away, it is the school responsibility to investigate. A call will be made to the current listed contacts in our system. Please make sure the school has your most current and updated phone number and contact information. If your child will be absent, we would appreciate a phone call to the office between 8:00—9:00 a.m. or 12:40—1:00 p.m. If you have not called, the school will try to contact you. Calls home will be made between 9:10 - 9:40 a.m. and 1:00 - 1:45 p.m. Permission to Leave School Grounds Students are not permitted to leave the school or school grounds during school hours unless written permission or a phone call has been received from a parent/guardian.

Students in Nursery and Kindergarten need to be picked up by an adult or sibling over the age of 12 at dismissal times.

Winnipeg School Division Page 13 Page 14 Assemblies Visitors Every Day 5 from 2:20 to 2:55 p.m. the students, teachers, and staff join for a school wide assembly. We come together as a community to celebrate accomplishments, share achievements, watch students perform, and recognize successes. Parents are always invited to attend our assemblies. All parents, guardians, and visitors coming into the school are required to report to the office. Should you require your child before regular dismissal, we ask that you inform the office. Your child will meet you in the office to ensure his/her safety and reduce classroom disruptions. Parents/guardians are requested to use the sign-out procedure in the office at that time. School Dress Code Students must be dressed appropriately at all times at Prairie Rose School. Short shorts, spaghetti strap tops, halter tops, tube tops, short tops, or any other type of top that exposes the midriff or bare back are not acceptable at Prairie Rose School.

In the interest of safety for Prairie Rose students, parents are requested NOT to use the staff parking lot as a drop off and pick up area before school in the morning nor at dismissal times. We also request that parents do not use the lot as casual parking. Thank you for your cooperation in providing safety for all of our students. EMERGENCIES Safety & Emergency Procedures The Winnipeg School Division and Prairie Rose School believe the safety and security of students and staff are first priorities. While schools cannot prevent crisis situations they can be prepared to respond quickly, efficiently, and appropriately to ensure the safety of students and staff members when situations occur. Throughout the school year, the students and staff of Prairie Rose School will be practicing parts of the Crisis Response Plan. Below is a list of the three procedures that will be practiced with a brief description. Fire Drills The students and staff will practice the fire evacuation procedure with ten fire drills throughout the school year. Lockdown/Hold and Secure All students and staff will rehearse a lockdown or lockout of the building three times per year. A reminder may be posted in the newsletter before the first of these practices, but not all practices will be announced. In a Lockdown all students, teachers, and guests are locked in their classrooms and remain quiet until the “all clear” is given. A lockdown occurs when it is deemed appropriate and necessary to ensure the safety of all students and staff in the building by keeping them inside the school in a secured, safe environment. A Hold and Secure occurs when a response is necessary to secure the school to prevent unauthorized entry to the school building. Students and staff in the building may be permitted limited movement, depending on the circumstances of the incident. Winnipeg School Division Page 17 Evacuations A school evacuation occurs when it is deemed appropriate and necessary to ensure the safety of all students and staff by leaving the building. Parents will be notified before we have a school evacuation practice that will include more details and dates. In an actual, or practice, evacuation, students will be taken to Garden Grove School at 2340 Burrows Avenue. 204-633-6477. Page 18 • Students with severe allergies are initially identified by parents/ guardians through the school registration form. Students that have life threatening allergies require a health care plan. The school must be provided with any Epi-Pens or medications that are required in the event of an emergency. They must be clearly labeled with the child’s prescription and doctor’s instructions. Due to students with life threatening allergies, we ask that you do not send nut products to school. • SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS Please notify your child’s classroom teacher, resource teacher or the office if your child has any health care concerns or allergies. Health Care Plans are required for students who bring medication, Epi-Pens, Inhalers, etc. • Administering Medication During School Hours In accordance with the Winnipeg School Division Policy JHCD, no medication of any kind is to be in the student’s possession at any time. Should it be required that the medication be administered to a student at school, a written health care plan will be developed and reviewed by the public health nurse, appropriate school staff, along with the parent/guardian and then signed. Prescribed medication from a physician must be in its original labeled container and will be stored in a locked cabinet. Life Threatening Allergies/Nut Policy Student Accidents & Injuries You will be notified by telephone of any serious injury to your child (cuts, sprains, breaks, bumps, etc.) that requires medical attention. If we are not able to contact you during an emergency, we will contact the emergency contacts, or send a letter home. Student Insurance Packages will be circulated at the start of the school year. This package provides excellent coverage in the case of an emergency or injury. Please look over the information provided. Physical Education Prairie Rose School has a full time Physical Education Specialist, Mr. Smoke. Students in Grades 1 - 6 receive Physical Education classes 5 days out of a 6 day cycle.

Winnipeg School Division Page 27 Page 28 Pro Social Programming Code of Conduct The Pro Social Program is a school wide behavioural system that promotes a positive school community. At our weekly assemblies we come together to celebrate as a community of learners as well as proactively educate students on targeted skills, appropriate responses and school wide consequences. It also helps to supplement Prairie Rose School’s Code of Conduct. The purpose of this is to promote a healthy school culture where high levels of achievement occur within a positive safe and caring school environment All Prairie Rose staff follow a consistent process in dealing with inappropriate behaviours. Minor offenses occurring at recess such as: play fighting, unsafe physical contact, disrespect, non-compliance, and inappropriate language receive: 1. A verbal warning 2. 5 Minutes wall recess 3. 5 minute wall recess and note to classroom teacher The classroom teacher will then provide a consequence taking into account the student and the classroom management system. The Winnipeg School Division believes that effective student management teaches appropriate behaviours and incorporates a range of consequences for any inappropriate behaviours. Consequences should be based on individual needs, the degree of the problem and the ability of the person to understand and handle the consequences. The student will have certain roles and responsibilities to ensure a safe, positive and caring school. The student is asked for the following, but not limited to: • Be polite, respectful and cooperative to all, regardless of race, religion, gender, age, or sexual orientation. Abusive language and aggressive behavior are unacceptable at all times. • Attend school regularly, be on time and have all required supplies and completed homework. • After the dismissal bells leave the school grounds promptly. • Dress appropriately for classes and school activities. • Respect school property and the property of others. • Make the most of the time in school; strive for academic excellence through classroom participation • Solve conflicts peacefully through discussion or by seeking help. Bullying or abusing another person verbally, socially, physically, psychologically, including sexual intimidation, cyberbullying (or in any electronic form) will not be tolerated. • Students understand the ethical, cultural, and societal issues related to technology. • Students practise responsible use of technology systems, information, and software. Winnipeg School Division Policy JFCBA Appropriate use of Communication Devices and On-line Information is followed at Prairie Rose School. Winnipeg School Division Page 29 Code of Conduct • • • • Be aware that gang involvement will not be tolerated on school sites or at any other school sanctioned event/activity. Follow school and Division policies respecting appropriate use of electronic mail and the Internet, including the prohibition of material that the school has determined to be objectionable. Be aware that trafficking, using, possessing or being under the influence of alcohol or illicit drug is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Any physical, out of control aggression with intent to hurt and injure where a student does not respond to adult intervention will result in a visit to the office, an incident report filled out and parents contacted. If the principal observes that pupil of the school has been harmed as a result of the unacceptable conduct, the principal will, as soon as reasonably possible, notify the pupil's parent or guardian of the nature of the harm, the cause and steps taken to ensure the pupil’s future safety. Administration will review the incident and decide on a consequence and inform both parents/ guardians. Winnipeg School Division Policy JGD - Suspension of Students is followed at Prairie Rose School. Page 30 Code of Conduct Being Proactive and Preventative: The teaching and learning of expected behaviours forms the basis of a proactive, preventative approach to the development of a safe and caring learning and working environment at Prairie Rose School.

Students who are frequently having difficulties will also require a Behaviour Plan as a proactive measure. Child Guidance Clinicians are also available to support the student. The Winnipeg Police Service’s School Resource Officer is available if deemed appropriate. To inquire about supports available from CSS and The School Resource Officer, please contact Mr. Romaniuk.
