Welcome Back!

Welcome Back!

Staff have been busy preparing for the return of the students over the last couple of days.  Everyone is excited to hear all about the students' summer adventures.  I hope everyone is well rested and eager to start another new year of learning.

Lice Buster Volunteers

Volunteers are needed to do lice head checks at the school. All volunteers will receive training on how to complete the head checks.  If you or someone you know is willing and available to fill this occasional volunteer position, please call the school and let us know.  We thank you in advance for volunteering for this position.  

Bus Lane Safety

Vehicles will not be allowed to park in the bus lane.  This lane is strictly for emergency response vehicles and busses only.  

School Zone Times

New Humble Centre would like to thank our local law enforcement for keeping our students safe and for enforcing the school zone speed limits.

School Zone Times:

     8:00am - 9:30am

     11:30am - 1:30 pm

     3:00pm - 4:30pm

Student Absences

For the safety of our students, it is extremely important to notify the school if your child will be late or absent.  If the school is not notified, we are obligated to phone your home or office to confirm the absence.  Students who arrive late must report to the office before going to class.

Alternate After School Plans

If your child will be going home in a different manner than what is typical, such as getting picked up by yourself or someone else, going with another parent, or not taking the bus, please contact the school and let us know of these arrangements.  Often times students think there is a change of plans when really there are none.  

If your child typically takes the bus and we do not know they are being picked up, it is our policy to send them on the bus.  We do not want to send a child home to an empty house so please let us know.  

Thank you for your cooperation in this manner.

School Visitors

For the safety of our students,staff, and visitors, all school visitors must first report to the office before going to another part of the school.  

Student Handbooks

Please take a moment to review the student handbook with your child.  The student handbook can be found on our website under parents and students.
