Message from Administration
Dear Parents & Guardians,
Many of our students and their families have excellent a endance and this needs to be celebrated. Some students and
families are struggling with regular a endance or being late to class. Our school data tells us we need to develop strat-
egies that focus on both celebra#ng a endance successes and improving student absenteeism and late arrivals to
school.
Research indicates that missing more than 5 days of school each year, regardless of the cause, affects student academic
performance and starts shaping a'tudes about school. Therefore, we must realize that excused absences and
unexcused absences have similar impact on student academic performance.
Our school has a progressive a endance strategy with an emphasis on proac#ve strategies:
Stage 1-
• Office staff and teachers record daily student lates and absences. If an absence is unexplained, a parent/guardian will receive an
automated phone call or email sent using the Safe Arrival System.
• Classroom teachers will make the first contact to families and make phone calls/emails home to inquire about student’s absence,
documen#ng their efforts.
• Classroom teacher brings a endance concerns (and documented efforts) forward to Principal/Vice-Principal. Principal/Vice-
Principal calls home to inquire about student’s absence, documen#ng efforts.
Stage 2 - A endance Le er #1 & Home Visita on
• Proac#ve home visit conducted by Principal/Vice-Principal, Resource teacher or other staff member with a endance le er #1.
Copy of le er #1 provided to homeroom teacher, resource teacher, and office staff places le er in student’s pupil file. A mee#ng
is scheduled with student and parent/guardian/caregiver to develop an a endance improvement plan with classroom teacher,
resource teacher and Principal/Vice-Principal.
Stage 3 - A endance Le er #2 and Truancy Involvement
• Copy of le er #2 mailed with copy provided to homeroom teacher, resource teacher, and office staff places le er in student’s
pupil file. A mee#ng is scheduled with student and parent/guardian/caregiver to develop an a endance improvement plan with
classroom teacher, resource teacher and Principal/Vice-Principal.
• Principal/Vice-Principal will contact Truancy Officer who will conduct home visit. Truancy will con#nue to be involved to support
the a endance improvement plan.
• School social worker may become involved to support the plan to increase student a endance.
Stage 4 - A endance Le er #3 & School Social Worker Involvement
• Copy of le er #3 mailed with copy provided to homeroom teacher, resource teacher, and school social worker and office staff
places le er in students student’s pupil file.
• School social worker will become involved to support the plan to increase student a endance. A mee#ng is requested with stu-
dent and parent/guardian/caregiver to develop an a endance improvement plan with classroom teacher, resource teacher and
principal/vice-principal.
• Truancy Officer con#nues to support a endance improvement plan.
Stage 5 - Le er #4 - Withdrawal from Credit Course(s) or School
• If all a empts at home/school connec#on and improved a endance have failed, a student may be withdrawn a;er 20 or more
absences as per Winnipeg School Division guidelines. Withdrawal le er mailed home with copies to homeroom teacher, resource
teacher, school social worker and office staff places le er in student’s CUM file.
• Some consequences may include: Grade 9 student will have to repeat course; Cree and Ojibwe bilingual program students will
have to register in their catchment/community school.

Drop-Off/ Pick-Up Zone - Student Safety
Please take note of the no parking, no stopping and school bus loading zone restric#ons on
Barra Ave before and a;er school. It's a busy area as six school buses load and unload
students during these #mes. Addi#onal traffic or illegally stopped/parked vehicles cause #mely
delays. We encourage all families to use the designated drop-off/pick-up area or the loading
zone on the west side of Cli;on Street north of Barra Avenue.
Reminders to All Parents:
• Dismissal #me at the end of the day is 3:30 p.m. for all grade levels. Please ensure you call the school if
you cannot make it for 3:30 p.m. While we understand that situa#ons arise that may make parents late
for pick up, we are unable to accommodate this on a regular basis. All children must be picked up by 3:30
p.m. If you require a;er-school care, please contact Valour Community Centre.
• Report Cards will be distributed on Wednesday, March 16th. As stated in November, Isaac Brock School is
switching to emailing report cards to parents instead of prin#ng hard copies. If you prefer to obtain a
paper copy of your child’s Report Card and have not informed us already, please call the Office at
204-772-9527 before March 16th.
Isaac Brock School encourages all
students to bring their own reusable
water bo le to school. The Office
has a limited amount of paper cups
to give our students.

Update from Room 32 We have had a great #me learning about Flight in our room! We built and tested many different things over the past month or so. As part of a homework assignment, we built parachutes that we dropped down the stairwells of Isaac Brock School. Congratula#ons to Jrayden for crea#ng the parachute that produced the greatest amount of drag! We also built rockets that used inflated balloons for their pneuma#c power and helped propel them across the room. Finally, we tested out how different paper affected the flight path of paper airplanes, and how regular paper airplanes changed their flight paths when paperclips were a ached to them. The second floor hallways became the new Isaac Brock runways, but we had a blast! M A R C H 20 2 2 Page 4 ISAAC BROCK SCHOOL
Update from Room 31
The grade 6 and 7 students in room 31 spent part of February crea#ng projects on early Canadian history.
They researched an important event, created a project to communicate their research findings, and
presented their projects to the class! They worked really hard and even though they were nervous to
present to their classmates, they did an amazing job and showed excellent research and communica#on
skills! Way to go, room 31!

fun way for us to end February and “I Love to Read” month. We hope these new books keep the children
excited for reading!
Just a reminder, we hold monthly mee#ngs to discuss what’s going on at the school, provide parental input to
the admin and plan ways to fundraise to provide our students with the best learning experience possible!
