In order to support the Board's mission, the mission of Nellie McClung P.S. is "Imagine …Believe….Achieve". In 2011, students and staff created the Nellie McClung Touchstone to support everything we do.
At Nellie McClung our voices are heard
Multiculturalism and diversity sculpt the face of our community
Through our eyes we appear different, but deep down we are all the same
We are responsible for our actions, words, and learning
The world is our home; we treat it with kindness and respect
We are a second family and accept people for who they are
Bullying is not an option
We are global citizens, believing one school can make a difference
Setting our own standards and striving to surpass them is our road to success
We cherish all the possibilities
There are no limits
Like Nellie McClung, we believe in standing up for what’s right
We are the Mavericks!!
Safety for our children
In some schools, the parking lot is simply closed and parents have to figure out how they will drop off/pick up their child(ren). We have not yet reached that point and we are very fortunate for the numerous parents who follow the law, stop at stop signs, drive the speed limit and yield appropriately to share the road. We still need to do a better job, so as adults, we set a better example for Nellie children.
As a school we will:
- Put up more signs to indicate where you can park/stop
- Contact the Town of Vaughan to enforce the law and issue tickets as required
As parents/guardians you will:
- Promote walking/riding a bike to school
- Drive at the appropriate speed
- Never leave your car running (idle) and pollute the air
- Never block traffic by stopping to unload or pick up your child(ren)
In the morning around 9:00am, you may stop both on the north and south curb area of the kiss and ride by the Kindergarten fenced area but Never blocking the crosswalk
At the end of the day 3:30pm (dismissal), ONLY park on the south side of the curbed area of the kiss and ride
Never ever block the bus entrance or exit.
We must work together to model healthy routes to school as well as ensure students are safe as they travel to and from school.
Imagine….Believe…..Achieve!
