Bus Note Information

Dear Parents and Guardians:

 

It is the expectation that changes to your child’s dismissal routine will be minimal throughout the year. 

 

 Wherever possible, we ask for your cooperation in having your child take his/her regular bus home.  As you can imagine, changing bussing arrangements takes a great deal of the secretary’s time.  By minimizing bus notes, we help to reduce that time and make sure that your child gets to where they need to be safely.  Please consider the following points:

 

· Requests for students to take an alternate bus for birthday parties and other social functions (Sleep overs and play dates) will not be granted.

 

· Requests for alternate dismissal arrangements made by phone will not be accepted unless in the event of an emergency (e.g. family illness, unforeseen change in parent’s work schedule).

 

· Any requests for a change in the regular dismissal routine for your child must be made in writing in your child’s planner.

 

· Alternate bus arrangements must include (in writing) the following information:  full Civic address (e.g. 27 Happy Lane); full name of the person residing at the home that your child(ren) are going to (e.g. Lisa Resmer) and the bus number.  Sending a note that says “Lisa is going to Grandma’s tonight” does not provide us with the required information.  Please note that pick up and drop off locations will be at EXISTING approved Triboard Transportation stop locations only.  Our school does not have the ability to alter bus routes.

· 

If you have more than one child, please ensure the note is in each child’s planner so that all teachers are aware of the change.

 

Thank you in advance, for helping us reduce the number of daily bus notes . Your cooperation is appreciated.

Principal's Message

  Welcome To The Home Of The Mustangs!

At Maynooth Public School we have been working extremely hard to deliver excellent programming - we have a dedicated community of teachers, supportive volunteers, an active school council, and important community partners sucn as the Hastings Highlands Library and Community Centre, The Algonquin Nation Kijicho Manito, The Metis Nation of Ontario and North HAstings Children's Services.  We believe that it takes villages to raise our children.  We are committed to working with willing partners to bring community into our building and get out students out in the real world.

The values that I hold true to are communication, character education and community connections. I urge you to contact me if you have questions, concerns or just require further information about your child’s education. 

Open communication allows everyone to be on the same page and then work together for a solution that provides your child with the best education possible. Your child(ren)’s success is the reason I am here.   

Sincerely, Lisa Resmer

Maynooth Public School Lending Library

As a result of our School Council applying for and receiving a Parent Reaching Out grant, we were able to establish a parent lending library.  The collection is being housed at the Hastings Highlands Public Library to provide access to our broader school community.  Topics covered include nutrition, helping your child at school, bullying and disciple.  Next time you are at the Maynooth Public Library be sure to look over the titles, there is sure to be something of interest.

The Parent Lending Library is a result of Parent Reaching Out grant provided through the Ministry of Education.
