Pick Up Procedures for Second Floor Classes at John G. Diefenbaker High School
To enhance the safety of all our students and to maintain a quiet learning environment for our second floor classes, we are requesting our families to follow the rules:
- Parents are NOT permitted to go up to the second floor.
- Meet your children on the first floor at their designated meeting area at the bottom of their assigned exit staircase.
- Each teacher will be escorting their students to the designated dismissal area. Our teachers will ensure all their students have been picked up. If the student has not been picked up by their parent/guardian, the teacher will bring the student to the main office in Room 121.
Prohibit Use of School Computers
Please note that students and families are not permitted to use the computers at John G. Diefenbaker High School. These computers are designated for school use only, and any unauthorized access could result in restrictions on our continued use of the facility. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in maintaining this policy.
Student Safety Policy
For the safety of all students, leaving the school premises is strictly prohibited at any time during class hours, including the 15 minute recess breaks. Students must remain within the school building throughout the entire duration of their classes. This ensures proper supervision and helps us maintain a secure environment for everyone.
Early Dismissal Policy
For the safety and accountability of all students, any student who needs to leave the school early must follow our early dismissal procedure. A blue Early Dismissal Notice must be obtained from our office or guidance team. This form needs to be completed and signed by a parent or guardian before the student will be permitted to leave the school premises.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at thechineseacademy@gmail.com.
Recommended Video: “The Benefits of a Bilingual Brain”
We highly recommend watching the video “The Benefits of a Bilingual Brain”, which explores how learning multiple languages enhances cognitive abilities and boosts problem-solving skills. This is particularly relevant for our students at The Chinese Academy, as learning Chinese not only enriches cultural understanding but also strengthens brain development.
Watch it here: The Benefits of a Bilingual Brain, and discover how bilingualism, especially through Chinese learning, benefits your child’s academic growth and cognitive skills.
