Lates

Punctuality is a valued expectation at Banff Trail School. We look forward to seeing your child each school day. Being late has a significant impact on their learning as instruction and educational activities are missed. It also impacts teacher time, the learning of others and student relationships. 

Students who demonstrate a pattern of being late will receive a letter home. A copy of the letter will also be placed in the student’s file. Parents are expected to have plans in place to ensure their child is at school on time. 

Parents/guardians are required to report all lates on the attendance line before the start of the day. Should your child be late for any reason, please call and leave a message on the 24-hour attendance line 403 -777-6120, ext. 1. 

When leaving a message, please: speak clearly, indicate your child’s first and last name, state their homeroom number, grade and reason for lateness. 

Students arriving late to school must sign in and pick up a welcome card from the main office prior to proceeding to class.
