Welcome to Anne McClymont Elementary!

We’re so glad you’re here and excited for the school year ahead! Here’s what you need to know to get started.

What to Bring to School

Please send your child with:

Indoor shoes
Outdoor shoes
Lunch
A water bottle
A change of clothes (just in case!)

Please label everything with your child’s name, it really helps items find their way back home instead of the lost and found.

School Fees

School fees are $50 per student, per year:

$40 – School supplies
$10 – Cultural fees

Payments are made online through School Cash Online. Please register at:

School Communication

Make sure we have up to date contact information including your email address so you can receive our weekly newsletter, “What’s Happening at AME?” It’s the best way to stay in the loop!

Reporting Absences or Lates

Please download the SchoolMessenger app to report absences and late arrivals quickly and easily.

Volunteering

We love having volunteers in our school!

To volunteer, you’ll need:

Two pieces of government-issued ID
A School District 23 Criminal Record Check (completed through our office)

Lunch Program

Our PAC organizes hot lunch through Muchalunch:
www.muchalunch.com/schools/ame/

School District 23 also offers brown bag lunches for families who may need support. Please reach out to the office for more information — we’re happy to help.

Parent Advisory Council (PAC)

Every parent/guardian at AME is part of PAC! Meetings are usually held once a month (except December, March, and June) in the library.

PAC:

Shares school updates
Provides input on school policies
Organizes fun events and fundraisers

Some of our favourite events include:

Scholastic Book Fair
Family Dance
Family Photos
Spring Fun Fair
Spirit Wear
Hot Lunch

We’re always looking for volunteers, whether you can help a little or a lot, we’d love to have you involved. Join a meeting or connect with the PAC executive to learn more.

Students wait outside until the 8:25 a.m. bell.
Students arriving after 8:30 a.m. must sign in at the office.
