The AGM for our School Council will be held in the Learning Commons at 6:30 PM and also online at Click here to join the meeting . The Parent Association AGM will be held immediately following the School Council Meeting at 8:00PM. It will also be in person and online at the same link.
There are several open positions on both bodies and now is a great time to take an active role in these organizations and help support the school. Being a part of our School Council and the Parent Association is a great way to get to know families and be directly involved in various capacities at the school such as fundraising, social events, clubs, volunteering and so much more.
Details for open positions for school council and parent association can be found on the Collingwood School Website .
Parking
Please note that parking is reserved for staff in the lot North of the school as well as the indicated area in the South Parking lot. Thank you for respecting these signs as our staff need places to park every day.
Traffic Safety
We ask that drivers and pedestrians follow traffic safety rules. This means respecting posted speed limits, using the crosswalk, not parking in the bus zone and refraining from doing u-turns in the school zone.
Drop Off Loop
The drop off loop is reserved for children who can exit the vehicle independently. Please do not exit the vehicle to help with car seats, backpacks, etc. If your child requires assistance please park South of the parking lot. Drivers in the right lane are asked to exit right and drivers in the left lane exit left. We also ask that pedestrians walk through the playground rather than in front of the drop off loop as this helps maintain a smooth flow of traffic through the loop. We also ask you to not park in the staff parking lot, thank you.
