What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, March 12, 2019

I have 2 children that I open enrolled into this school due to our regional school (Peace River Elementary) being a all year round school & having a school uniform policy. For the past 3 years I have been very pleased with this school however this year there have been soo many changes include taking away award ceremonies & coteaching & now my children are bringing home information regarding discussions about next year's school uniforms? I really hope they don't change the dress code for next year to school uniforms or my children will be going to a different school. No I'm not a supporter of school uniforms, I am a supporter of choice. I would like to have the choice of what clothes I put my children in & not be told what they have to wear. My children have autism & if you are a parent of an autistic child then you know that some clothes they can not wear due to material irritation. Most of the uniforms are collared polo shirts & will extremely irritate an autistic child. Close Quote
