Extended Absences Policy
Under the Education Act of Ontario, a child may be excused from attendance
at school only for reasons of illness or other unavoidable cause,
and responsibility for absences for other than these two reasons must
be taken by the parent or guardian. Please read our parent letter
for details about our Extended Absence policy.
It can be found by clicking on the
"Extended Absence" link on the left side menu on the mainpage
of our website.
Online Attendance for Parents
Parents are reminded that they can now access Parent Web, an exciting
new communication tool with the school. Login to the John Fraser S.S.
webpage at http://johnfraserss.peelschools.org/. On the left menu,
click on Parent Web and follow the instructions. This will give you
access to your child's attendance throughout the day, as well as their
credit count/transcript and most recent report card marks. Note that
once you have requested access, you will have to stop by the school
to supply identification so that we know you are the custodial parent/guardian
and that you therefore have rights of access to the student's information.
After this step, we will grant you access and you will receive an
automatic email confirmation.
Breakfast Club
Thanks to the funding we receive through Breakfast for Kids, the Breakfast
Club will continue to be up and running at John Fraser in the fall
of 2010. Each week, approximately 150 students are enjoying breakfast
at school for free.Our menu includes:granola bars, cereal, fruit,
yogurt, juice and chocolate milk.Many thanks go out to the staff and
student volunteers that make Breakfast Club possible.. Parents can
help in a number of ways.
If you can afford a very small amount of time to pick up supplies,
contact Ms. D. Keefe at the school.
