Student Safety
Students are supervised on the school grounds each day after 8:40 am. There is also supervision until 3:20 pm each day. It is extremely important, for the safety of your child, that they do not arrive unsupervised before 8:40 am unless they are attending the breakfast program. If attending the breakfast program, they should not arrive earlier than 7:30am. As well, for those families whose children attend RayCam latchkey, it is important to remember that there is NO LATCHKEY on the first Monday of every month. On these days, it is important that students know who is picking them up after school. Thank you for working with us for your child’s safety.
Valuable Items at School
At times, students want to bring valuable electronic equipment, cell phones, cameras and toys to school. Please discourage this. When these items come to school, they can easily get lost, misplaced or broken. Please leave them at home. Please also keep all collector cards at home.
Emergency Drills
Over the course of the school year, we will be having several drills during which we practise emergency procedures. At Strathcona School, as in other schools in Vancouver, we have fire drills, lockdown drills and earthquake drills. Teachers fully prepare their students for these drills and practice helps keep our school community safe.
Allergy Alert
We make every effort to be a peanut/nut-aware school. At present we have students who suffer from peanut and/or nut allergies. We understand that it can be an extra complication to read labels and to avoid choosing nut free products, but for those children, including some very young ones, allergies are life-threatening. Your taking that extra time can really make a difference. Even if there is no child with a peanut or nut allergy in your child's homeroom, please realize that our students rotate through several classrooms in the course of a day and can share desks and classroom supplies. PLEASE DO NOT SEND peanut butter or products with peanuts or nuts (e.g. almonds, pecans, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts etc.) clearly listed in the ingredients to school in your child's snacks or lunches. Also, please remember that even a tiny amount of the allergen can cause a life threatening reaction in a severely allergic child. If your child eats peanut products for breakfast, please ensure that they wash their hands carefully. Even a small trace amount left on hands and spread on doorknobs, desks or other surfaces could cause an anaphylactic reaction in our peanut/nut allergic children.
Thank you for your willingness to make Strathcona School a safe environment for all of our children.
學生安全
學校教職員於早上八時四十分開始及放學後直至三時二十分在操場上看管學生。為安全著想，請家長千萬不要於早上八時四十分前讓子女返校，除非參與早餐計劃。如參與早餐計劃，請不要於七時卅分前到達。家長如有子女參與RayCam社區中心的latchkey計劃請留意於每月第一個星期一不會有人員接送貴子女，請大家另作安排，及確保子女知道是誰接他們放學，多謝合作，令學生更安全。
貴重物品
請家長不要讓子女攜帶貴重物品例如電子產品、手機、相機或玩具返校，防止遺失或弄壞，亦不要攜帶可收藏的玩具卡。
緊急演習
於學年中，我們會舉行幾次緊急火警、全校封鎖、地震演習，屆時老師會與學生作好準備，參與演習，令學生於緊急事故發生時更安全。
食物敏感
本校有些學生對花生及／或果仁特別敏感，嚴重的可能會有生命危險。閱讀食物標籤雖然要花一些時間，但對這些有敏感的同學來說，他們一定不能接觸這些食物。雖然貴子女的班內可能沒有食物敏感的同學，但不同班別的學生會輪流使用不同的班房，因此，請家長不要讓子女攜帶含有花生醬或花生及果仁（例如：杏仁、胡桃、巴西果仁、榛子等）的食物返校，如早餐進食過有花生的食物，亦請他們清洗雙手，因少許花生氣味留於門把手、書桌或其他物件上亦可引致敏感反應。多謝大家的合作，令學校更安全。
