Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club at St. Lucy is Back!

A school Breakfast Club can have far-reaching effects on students’ academic
performance and overall well-being. A healthy breakfast helps provide essential
nutrients that support focus, attention, participation in class and overall better
performance at school.

Breakfasts programs create a positive communal environment where students
can socialize with peers. This sense of community contributes to a positive school
culture.

Breakfast programs can be beneficial for parents who work shifts or have busy
schedules, making it challenging to prepare breakfast in the morning. Knowing
that children have access to breakfast at school can provide peace of mind for
working parents.

The St. Lucy Breakfast Club has begun! Breakfast will be served each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:40 – 9:00am. Students will be able to come in to the school to enjoy breakfast with their friends on these days. Please do not drop your child off prior to 8:40am on Breakfast Club days.

In upcoming weeks, we will also be offering a Grab-and-Go breakfast option on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:45am. Students can collect their snacks in the morning then return to the schoolyard. Please do not drop your child off at school prior to 8:45am on Grab-and-Go days.

Please note: This is an optional program. At times, students drop in for food or snacks. All are welcome. However, if you do not want your child to participate in our Breakfast Club and/or Grab-and-Go breakfast, please let the office know.

All breakfast options are nut free. If your child has other allergies and will be
participating in Breakfast Club and/or Grab-and-Go breakfast, please let the office know so that extra precautions are taken to alert the staff members who are serving breakfast that day. 

In order to ensure the safety of our students, parents/ guardians are asked to adhere to the following drop-off/ pick-up rules:

  1. Parents/Guardians who are dropping off/picking up Kindergarten, Grade 1 students, or those requiring assistance, will park in a designated parking spot and walk their child to their designated area in the school yard.
  2. Students in Grades 2—8 (who do not require assis- tance) may be dropped off/picked up in the Kiss 'N Ride area.
  3. All students who are picked up at the end of the day will proceed to the Kiss 'N Ride area.
  4. In order to maintain traffic flow, please leave Kiss 'N
  5. Ride area once drop off/pick up is complete.
  6. Please do not leave your car unattended or idling.
  7. There is no parking/stopping in Drive Through Lanes, Bus Lanes, and any area along the fence.

In keeping with Dufferin-Peel School Board Policy, all visitors to the school must report to the office. 

We begin our day at 9:00am with our morning bell, national anthem and daily prayer. Students may be dropped off as early as 8:45am in the school yard. Please note, there is no teacher supervision prior to 8:45am and students should not be left unattended. Students should arrive at school at least 10 minutes prior to the bell to allow time for them to line up with their classmates at the appropriate entrance. It is imperative that students arrive on time so that they do not miss valuable instructional time. Parents are asked to report their child's absence through school messenger:

St. Lucy CES is an Allergen Aware school. There are pupils in attendance who suffer from severe and life-threatening allergies to certain foods, such as dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, oats, and seafood. Exposure to the smallest quantities can trigger a severe life-threatening reaction. The safety and well-being of all of our students is a priority. In order to ensure the safety and well-being of all pupils, we request that you NOT send any lunches or snacks that contain peanuts and/or tree nuts, including pea- nut butter substitute products. Please make sure that all of your children's caregivers are aware of the food restrictions. Please avoid sending food for birthdays or special occasions. There are many alternatives such as stickers and pencils. Should there be additional allergy concerns in specific classrooms, information will be shared by the classroom teacher. If you have any questions, please talk to your child's teacher or the school staff. We appreciate your cooperation in supporting a safe learning environment for all pupils

St. Lucy CES continues to participate in "We Share the Air", a Scent Sensitivity Awareness Campaign. There are students in attendance who suffer from life- threatening asthmatic conditions. Exposure even to minimal odours may cause potential life-threatening reactions.

Dental Screening

We are pleased to announce that Peel Public Health (PPH) and Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health (WDGPH) will be providing dental screening for students in select grades in DPCDSB elementary schools during the 2025-2026 school year.

There is no cost for this dental screening at school. A dental screening is a quick assessment by a registered dental hygienist who will look inside the child's
mouth. A dental screening identifies children who may need dental care. Oral health is an important part of a child’s overall health.

St. Lucy's Dental Screening will take place on the week of November 10th for our students in FDK (JK and SK), Grade 2, and Grade 7.
