HELP WITH SCHOOL COSTS AND FEES

STUDENT PICK UP AND DROP OFF ZONE

For safety reasons, we have a designated student pick up and drop off zone at KSC. We ask that you respect the safety plan we have in place and only collect or drop off your child/ren within the loop (yellow line).

Parents are not to drop off or pick up children from the bus loop.

We thank you for your support in helping us to keep our school community safe.

LOST PROPERTY

Lost property is located in the library. Please come and ask us if you have lost or misplaced an item.

GOOD HYGIENE PRACTICES TO REDUCE THE SPREAD OF INFECTIONS AND VIRUSES:

Hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. You can spread certain "germs" (a general term for pathogens like viruses and bacteria) casually by touching another person. You can also catch germs when you touch contaminated objects or surfaces and then you touch your face (mouth, eyes, and nose).

Good health habits are important and include:

frequent hand washing with soap and water
using alcohol-based hand sanitizers when soap and water are not available
avoiding close contact with sick people
coughing and sneezing into your elbow or use a tissue (and throw away the tissue immediately)
avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth

BUS TRAVELLERS

A reminder to students who travel on the buses to and from school, that masks must be worn at all times while on the bus unless you have a genuine exemption . At present, this is the law and students who do not wear masks may be refused travel.
