Office Hours
The office is open 8am-3pm. Closed during recess (10-10:15am) and from 1:45-2pm. We will have student office monitors covering the office during lunch (11:45am-12:30pm).
Student Pick Ups
If you need to pick your child up during the school day, please do so by 11:45 am or after 12:30 pm as it is difficult to call students when they are outside. Please remember that anytime you are picking your students up during the school day (prior to 2:23 pm), it is essential that you notify the classroom teacher and office to ensure that the class is onsite and not on a walk.
Attendance
If your child will be away, please call the office at 604-826-2213 (we have an answering machine) or you can email Ms. Stefanek at teresa.stefanek@mpsd.ca If you email the classroom teacher, please copy the office as well.
Late Arrivals
If your child will be late (after 8:30 am), they need to enter through the front doors to get a late slip before they can proceed to class.
Parent Volunteers
If you would like to volunteer at Windebank there are 2 steps. One is the school volunteer form that needs to be completed yearly and the second part is a Criminal Record Check. Please see the link below that has all the information on applying for both.
