FEB 17 - VMC Casual Day for Turkey-Syria on TUESDAY
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian,
We at Vincent Massey Collegiate are watching the situation in Turkey and Syria with great sadness.
As reported in the news, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit these areas collapsing buildings and creating devastation.
The death toll is more than 40,000 with thousands more injured. Survivors are facing freezing conditions and need urgent aid.
In order to help support the humanitarian efforts, we will be holding a dress down day on Tuesday February 21st to raise money for the Canadian Red Cross.
A minimum donation of $2 is requested, but all donations are welcomed. We thank you in advance for your generosity!
Let us all continue to send our thoughts and prayers for all those affected by this terrible disaster.
Sincerely,
On behalf of the VMC Staff and Students,
Veronica D’Agata, Spiritual and Community Involvement Animator

jan 30 - VMC Early Dismissals
Reminder to parents that early dismissals must be entered prior to 8:30 am on the day required and they must be for a valid serious reason.
Students must check out at the main office prior to leaving school premises.
Please note that we will no longer accept early dismissals posted after 8:30 am.
In the case of an emergency, please call the main office and a secretary will assist you. School number: 514-374-1999
Attached below are the regulations related to early dismissals found in the school code of conduct:
EARLY DISMISSAL
Students are prohibited from leaving the school premises at any time during the school day without permission from the main office. Students who must leave the building because of illness or any other emergency must sign out at the main office. If the proper procedure is not followed, the absence will be considered unauthorized and disciplinary consequences applied to the student. Schoolwork takes precedence over medical and dental appointments or other engagements. Please plan these appointments after 3 p.m. If a student, for a valid serious reason, must leave the school early on a particular day, a parent must notify the school before 8:30 a.m.
This can be accomplished by having the students bring a note to the secretary or parents call the school or parents register the dismissal through Mozaik. The note or phone call should request an early dismissal, reason for the departure and must be signed by a parent. The note must also contain the phone number of the parent who the secretary can contact to verify the early dismissal.
