Storrington Public School - Important Information for Families
Main Office
Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:15 am - 4:15 pm. Ms. Brown is our wonderful office administrator. Families can email us at storr@limestone.on.ca or call 613-358-2868. Emails and phone messages will be answered within 48 hours. For immediate assistance, please call back and to speak to someone. Storrington Public School is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment. Harassment, discrimination, violence, or abuse towards staff will not be tolerated. Please review the LDSB Code of Conduct below for additional information!
Arrival & Dismissal
School arrival and morning supervision begins at 8:50am daily and school dismissal is at 3:35pm. Families who need to pick up their student from school before dismissal because of an appointment or illness, feel free to give the school a call to let Ms. Brown know you're on your way and she can have your child ready for pick up at the main office - please refrain from going to your child's classroom. Please note - families arriving and requesting pick up after 3:15, will be asked to wait until dismissal at 3:35pm. Please note that the end of day is a very busy time as all staff need to ensure students are dismissed safely and our buses are loaded for on-time departure!
Data Verification Forms & Computer Use Agreement
Hard copies of Data Verification Forms will be sent this week to ensure we have the most up to date information in our Aspen database and we require families to sign off on our Computer Use Agreement in order for their students to access technology. If your contact information has changed, please provide us with an update via phone or email as soon as possible! Thank you!
Lunchbox Lunch Program
We will be using Lunchbox for our Lunch Program for efficiency of ordering and delivering. The Lunchbox Program will be sending out a message to families once ordering is available (likely mid-September). Please note, families are not obligated to order as this is simply an option for student lunches.
Food Share Program
We will be offering the Food Share Program to all of our classes. All students can access this program. Please reach out if your student has dietary restrictions.
School Supplies and Labelling
Our school will provide the necessary supplies that your student will need for learning. Here are a few things that will certainly help students be prepared for learning each school day:
- Backpack
- Labelled water bottle
- Lunch bag with a peanut-free/nut-free lunch and snacks for two nutrition breaks (one in the morning and one in the afternoon)
- Personal pencil case (optional) to hold any supplies you may want to bring (pencils, erasers, scissors, ruler, pencil crayons, etc.)
- Indoor shoes (with non-marking soles) to be left at school
- Extra clothes (for our Kindergarten/primary particularly)
To avoid your student's clothing ending up in the lost and found, please consider labelling items, such as indoor and outdoor clothing, indoor and outdoor shoes, containers, school supplies, etc. Labeled items helps school staff reunite items to students when they have been lost, misplaced, or left behind!
Please check the weather in the morning for appropriate dress for the day. Students will go outside in all weather, with the exception of heavy rain, thunder/lightning, or extremely low temperatures.
School Messenger: Reporting Your Child's Absences
Storrington PS uses School Messenger to help communicate need-to-know information to families in a timely and efficient way via text, voice message, or email. Families can access school messenger on a laptop, iPad or mobile phone. Most families find it very useful to download the School Messenger App.
Storrington PS also uses School Messenger to share out our weekly newsletter which contains extensive school information with families via text, phone, or email message. Our school will also use this tool for urgent items like event cancellations or school emergencies about school council meetings, or special events.
Registered parents/guardians will receive these messages through contact information that is collected in our student information system. This information is exchanged via a secure connection between the school board and SchoolMessenger. This is the same system that also allows parents/guardians to report their student’s absence in advance, or report back to the school regarding an unexplained absence.
Parents/guardians may choose how to receive these alerts by text message, email or phone call with the exception of emergency events or attendance calls which will always be communicated via all contact methods on file with the school.
It is important that parents/guardians ensure schools have the most up-to-date contact information at the beginning of the school year. If your contact information changes during the school year, parents/guardians are asked to contact the school with the updated information.
Thank you for your attention to this important information!

Prevalent Medical Conditions
To help us gather important medical information about your child, we ask that you select the correct Plan of Care form below, complete it and return it to the school as soon as possible. (Note: Paper copies of forms will be sent to families with students who had a medical condition known to us last school year, but parents are more than welcome to use the digital option below!!) If you require us to administer daily medication, you will also need to complete the necessary paperwork for us to be able to do this.
Daily medication will need to be dropped off at school. Students cannot carry medications in their backpack, at any time. Please call the school to make arrangements for dropping off.
**Be sure to also include the supplementary forms if medication may need to be administered by school staff.
