🩺 Keep Medical Information Up to Date in PAM / SIMON Everywhere

A gentle reminder to all families to please ensure your child’s medical profile is current in PAM or the SIMON Everywhere app.

This includes:

  • Updating any changes to medical conditions or medications
  • Ensuring Asthma Action Plans and Anaphylaxis Plans are current
  • Uploading the latest copies of these plans directly into PAM/SIMON Everywhere

Having accurate and up-to-date medical information is essential for us to provide the best care and respond quickly in case of an emergency.

⏰ Morning Drop-Off Reminder

We kindly ask that students are not dropped off before 8:30am, as there is no supervision available prior to this time.

 

To ensure everyone’s safety, children and parents arriving early will need to wait outside the administration building until the glass divider is opened at 8:30am, which signals that the school is officially open.

 

We’ve noticed a number of students arriving around 8:00am. While we understand that work commitments can make mornings tricky, please be aware that children arriving before 8:30am will be unsupervised, which poses a safety concern.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep all students safe and supported.
