Also, when coming to the school during school hours (including break time), we would ask that you park by the office and the side of the building and avoid blocking fire exits.

This would establish healthy routines for students and promote an environmentally friendly practice. We continue to work with our partners at South Simcoe Police and the town of Bradford to ensure the safety of all of our community stakeholders. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter.</p><p> Message from the School Office: Bumps and bruises are a daily occurrence in an elementary school.
