Attendance
Regular attendance at school is one of the keys to a student’s success.
Please ensure that your child is in school each and every day. Should
your child be absent from school, please call the school office. If
attendance issues develop, the following procedures will be followed:
• The parent/guardian will be contacted by the student’s teacher.
• If the absences persist, a formal letter will be sent home informing
the parent/guardian about the number of absences and the need to
improve the attendance rate.
• If an improvement in attendance does not occur, a second formal
letter will be issued and sent home. This letter will highlight the
steps/support the school will take to improve the student’s
attendance.
• If there is no improvement in attendance after attempts to contact
the home, the service of the Winnipeg School Division’s Attendance
Officer, will be further used to support the child’s regular
attendance at school.
After a prolonged absence you may be asked for a doctor’s note to
indicate the severity of your child’s illness and the expected date of
return.
Winnipeg School Division

call from home explaining that the child will be away, it is the school
responsibility to investigate. A call will be made to the current listed
contacts in our system. Please make sure the school has your most
current and updated phone number and contact information.
If your child will be absent, we would appreciate a phone call to the
office between 8:00—9:00 a.m. or 12:40—1:00 p.m. If you have not

After dismissal students are reminded that they must go straight home,
to daycare or to any after school arrangement that the parent/guardians
have made. Students in Nursery and Kindergarten need to be picked
up by an adult or sibling over the age of 12 at dismissal times. Students
may call parents only regarding school related extra-curricular activities

Vehicle Pick Up & Drop Off
For the safety of all children, we ask that if you drop off or pick your
child up by vehicle that they use the designated crosswalks.

area before school in the morning nor at dismissal times.
We also request that parents do not use the lot as casual parking.
Thank you for your cooperation in providing safety for all of our
students.
EMERGENCIES
Safety & Emergency Procedures
The Winnipeg School Division and Prairie Rose School believe the
safety and security of students and staff are first priorities. While
schools cannot prevent crisis situations they can be prepared to
respond quickly, efficiently, and appropriately to ensure the safety of
students and staff members when situations occur.
Throughout the school year, the students and staff of Prairie Rose
School will be practicing parts of the Crisis Response Plan. Below is a
list of the three procedures that will be practiced with a brief description.
Fire Drills
The students and staff will practice the fire evacuation procedure with
ten fire drills throughout the school year.
Lockdown/Hold and Secure
All students and staff will rehearse a lockdown or lockout of the building
three times per year. A reminder may be posted in the newsletter
before the first of these practices, but not all practices will be
announced.
In a Lockdown all students, teachers, and guests are locked in their
classrooms and remain quiet until the “all clear” is given. A lockdown
occurs when it is deemed appropriate and necessary to ensure the
safety of all students and staff in the building by keeping them inside
the school in a secured, safe environment.
A Hold and Secure occurs when a response is necessary to secure the
school to prevent unauthorized entry to the school building. Students
and staff in the building may be permitted limited movement, depending
on the circumstances of the incident.
Winnipeg School Division
Page 17
Evacuations
A school evacuation occurs when it is deemed appropriate and
necessary to ensure the safety of all students and staff by leaving
the building. Parents will be notified before we have a school
evacuation practice that will include more details and dates. In an
actual, or practice, evacuation, students will be taken to
Garden Grove School at 2340 Burrows Avenue. 204-633-6477.

Students with severe allergies are initially identified by parents/
guardians through the school registration form. Students that have life
threatening allergies require a health care plan. The school must be

event of an emergency. They must be clearly labeled with the child’s
prescription and doctor’s instructions.

Administering Medication During School Hours
In accordance with the Winnipeg School Division Policy JHCD, no
medication of any kind is to be in the student’s possession at any
time. Should it be required that the medication be administered to a
student at school, a written health care plan will be developed and
reviewed by the public health nurse, appropriate school staff, along
with the parent/guardian and then signed. Prescribed medication
from a physician must be in its original labeled container and will be
stored in a locked cabinet.
Life Threatening Allergies/Nut Policy
Student Accidents & Injuries
You will be notified by telephone of any serious injury to your child
(cuts, sprains, breaks, bumps, etc.) that requires medical attention. If
we are not able to contact you during an emergency, we will contact
the emergency contacts, or send a letter home. Student Insurance
Packages will be circulated at the start of the school year. This
package provides excellent coverage in the case of an emergency or
injury. Please look over the information provided.

Pro Social Programming
Code of Conduct
The Pro Social Program is a school wide behavioural system that
promotes a positive school community. At our weekly assemblies we
come together to celebrate as a community of learners as well as
proactively educate students on targeted skills, appropriate responses
and school wide consequences. It also helps to supplement Prairie
Rose School’s Code of Conduct. The purpose of this is to promote a
healthy school culture where high levels of achievement occur within a
positive safe and caring school environment
All Prairie Rose staff follow a consistent process in dealing with
inappropriate behaviours. Minor offenses occurring at recess such as:
play fighting, unsafe physical contact, disrespect, non-compliance, and
inappropriate language receive:
1. A verbal warning
2. 5 Minutes wall recess
3. 5 minute wall recess and note to classroom teacher The classroom teacher will then provide a consequence taking into
account the student and the classroom management system.
The Winnipeg School Division believes that effective student
management teaches appropriate behaviours and incorporates a range
of consequences for any inappropriate behaviours. Consequences
should be based on individual needs, the degree of the problem and the
ability of the person to understand and handle the consequences. The
student will have certain roles and responsibilities to ensure a safe,
positive and caring school.
